Chapter 1—Introduction and Description
ISI5634PCI/4/8 User Guide Introduction Welcome to the world of data communications. You have acquired one of the finest intelligent data and fax modems available today from one of Americas oldest and most respected modem manufacturersMultiTech Systems, Inc. The new IntelligentSerialInterface card, model ISI5634PCI is a multiport serial port expansion card with four V.90/K56flex modems. The cards capability can be doubled by adding an auxiliary module, which also contains four modems.
Chapter 1—Introduction and Description digital to analog only once before it reaches your modem. Upstream transmissions and transmissions between client modems are limited to data rates of 33.6 Kbps, as are downstream transmissions that are converted more than once on the telephone network. Note: Though these modems are capable of 56 Kbps download performance, line impairments, public telephone infrastructure, and other external technological factors currently prevent maximum 56 Kbps connections.
ISI5634PCI/4/8 User Guide The processor, along with 256K bytes of RAM, works to allocate resources dynamically to the most active port. The ISI then generates one interrupt for an entire block of information and transfers the block to the systems microprocessor. The ISI5634PCI has eight Mini RJ-11 jacks. It is a 3/4 size add-on card that supports a high-speed interface up to 230 Kbps.

Chapter 3—Software/Driver Installation Activating Ports in SCO Open Server 5 SCO Open Server 5 provides a device database that monitors the activity of serial ports through which users can log onto the host. If your ISI ports are used by terminals (e.g., to allow users to log onto your host), you must create an entry in the systems device database that furnishes specific information for the terminals that will be used on each ISI port. The database is referenced each time a user attempts to log in.
ISI5634PCI/4/8 User Guide 5. Repeat this command for each port you want to activate, using the lower case letter for local terminal use or upper case for modem control. Note: Only one of the options (e.g., modem control or local terminal access) should be enabled for any port at one time. For example, you cannot enable ttyl1a and then enable ttyl1A. To change the status of a port, disable the current status (disable ttyl1a) and then enable it for the desired status (enable ttyl1A).
Chapter 3—Software/Driver Installation issued from time to time. The 'make' utility, GNU C compiler, and the kernel sources need to be installed on your system. If any of these are missing, the compilation will fail. Most later Linux OSs install these elements automatically . LINUX: Copying the driver from the media The Linux drivers (2.0 and 2.2/2.4 kernels) are shipped in compressed (tarred) form on a CD-ROM formatted with the FAT file system.
ISI5634PCI/4/8 User Guide NOTE: To read from a DOS formatted floppy, a kernel with support for the FAT file system (either statically linked in the kernel or as modules) is required. Steps for copying the driver from a floppy: 1. Linux floppy disks are in ext2 format. 2. Insert Linux driver in drive A: and mount floppy drive. > mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy 3. Copy files from floppy to a temporary directory on hard drive. > mkdir /isi > cd /isi > cp /mnt/floppy/kernel_2.2.
Chapter 3—Software/Driver Installation To view busy IRQs, enter: cat /proc/interrupts You must load the driver before you can load the firmware. You can load the driver manually using the 'insmod' utility. For ISI cards with the ISA bus, the I/O base address and the IRQ required by the card also need to be passed as parameters to insmod (this does not apply to ISI5634PCI cards because they are equipped with the PCI bus). insmod isicom io=card1, ... card4 irq=card1, ...
ISI5634PCI/4/8 User Guide first port on the first card). Save the configuration for a particular port using the 'save setup as' menu option as, for example, '1a' for the port / dev/ttyM1a. To connect to the port /dev/ttyM1a using minicom the next time, 'minicom 1a' needs to be executed. LINUX: TTY Devices Created by the Drivers: Device files corresponding to ports on the ISI card are created in the /dev folder. Use ttyMxy for normal ports and cumxy for corresponding callout ports.
Chapter 3—Software/Driver Installation - /dev/ttyM4a TO /dev/ttyM4h for the fourth card Devices mapped for modem cards (ISI5634PCI-4 and ISI5634PCI-8 cards): For ISI5634PCI-4 cards (4 ports): - /dev/ttyM1a to /dev/ttyM1d for modem ports. For ISI5634PCI-8 cards (8 ports): - /dev/ttyM1a to /dev/ttyM1h for modem ports. LINUX -- Dial-in configuration: To configure a particular port for dial-in, utilities like 'mgetty' need to be installed on the system.
ISI5634PCI/4/8 User Guide Note: A base I/O address of 0, e.g., ISIBaseX=oxo, or omission of these parameters for any card X, disables that particular card. Miscellaneous: Device files corresponding to ports on the ISI5634PCI cards are created in the /dev folder. Use ttyMxy for normal ports and cumxy for corresponding callout ports. The letter x is the card number (14), and y is the port number, (ad) for 4-port cards or (a-h) for 8-port cards. Normal ports (ttyM) are configured for dial-in connections.

Chapter 4 AT Commands, S-Registers, & Result Codes
ISI5634PCI/4/8 User Guide AT Commands AT commands are used to control the operation of your modem. They are so called because each command must be preceded by the characters AT to get the ATtention of the modem. AT commands can be issued only when the modem is in command mode or online command mode. The modem is in command mode whenever it is not connected to another modem. The modem is in data mode whenever it is connected to another modem and ready to exchange data.
Chapter 4—AT Commands, S-Registers, Result Codes connecting to another modem. For a table of valid result codes, see Result Codes at the end of this chapter.

ISI5634PCI/4/8 User Guide About DTMF DTMF (dual tone multi frequency) is the signal to the phone company that you generate when you press an ordinary telephones touch keys. In the United States and perhaps elsewhere, its known as Touchtone phone (formerly a registered trademark of AT&T). DTMF has generally replaced loop disconnect (pulse or rotary) dialing. With DTMF, each key you press on your phone generates two tones of specific frequencies.
Chapter 4—AT Commands, S-Registers, Result Codes Dual Tone Multi-frequency (DTMF) was a technique proposed by the phone company to replace pulse dialing to make dialing faster and more reliable. In anticipation to adding other customer services, 6 additional digits were included, totaling 16 digits. Most commercial phones only include 12 digits. Many specialized phones and telephone equipment (such as ADSI phones, PBXes, etc.) utilize all 16 digits.
