34 ISDN-Controller C2 – 7 Installation in Linux
7 Installation in Linux
The AVM ISDN-Controller C2 can be used with all current
Linux distributions. AVM supplies pre-compiled driver ar-
chives for the distributions SuSE Linux 8.0, 7.1-7.3, 7.0, 6.4
and 6.3. The installation for these distributions is described
here.
The pre-compiled driver software directly supports the INTEL
i386 platform. The drivers must be re-translated 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 sec-
tion “Installing Additional ISDN-Controllers” on page 40.
The AVM ISDN-Controller C2 is designed for operation on a
point-to-multipoint line, but can also be used on a point-to-
point line.
CAPI4Linux
The CAPI 2.0 standard for Linux makes it possible to develop
applications and drivers that can run on any ISDN-Controller
with a compatible CAPI 2.0 driver. The CAPI4Linux software
package is based on this standard.
Information on CAPI can be found in the section “The Appli-
cations Interface CAPI 2.0” on page 42.
CAPI4Linux allows the entire range of ISDN services such as
Internet access, Remote Access Service, telephony, G3 fax
and file transfer to be used with ISDN applications over the
standardized CAPI interface.
