9 Installation in Linux
The AVM ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 can be used with all cur-
rent Linux distributions. For the SUSE Linux distributions,
pre-compiled drivers are included in the software package.
In versions SUSE Linux 8.1 or higher, a CAPI4Linux driver is
already integrated in the operating system. Installation for
these distributions is described in this manual.
The pre-compiled driver software directly supports the INTEL
i386 platform. The drivers must be re-generated and com-
piled to be used in other distributions or kernel versions, on
other CPU platforms or on a multi-processor system. Tips
about generating the source code are included in the “src”
directory created by extracting the respective tar archive.
The driver software supports up to four active AVM ISDN-
Controllers installed in one system. For details, see the
section “Installing Additional Controllers” on page 50.
The AVM ISDN-Controller B1 PCI v4.0 is designed for opera-
tion on a point-to-multipoint line, but can also be used on a
point-to-point line. For further details see “Special Types of
Connections” from page 57.
