- /dev/ttyM1a TO /dev/ttyM1d for the first card
- /dev/ttyM2a TO /dev/ttyM2d for the second card
- /dev/ttyM3a TO /dev/ttyM3d for the third card
- /dev/ttyM4a TO /dev/ttyM4d for the fourth card
For the ISI5634PCI-8, it uses the following:
- /dev/ttyM1a TO /dev/ttyM1h for the first card
- /dev/ttyM2a TO /dev/ttyM2h for the second card
- /dev/ttyM3a TO /dev/ttyM3h for the third card
- /dev/ttyM4a TO /dev/ttyM4h for the fourth card
Devices mapped for modem cards (ISI5634PCI-4 andISI5634PCI-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-RPM -- Dial-in configuration:
To configure a particular port for dial-in, utilities like 'mgetty' need to be installed on the system. If, for
example, the port /dev/ttyM2c needs to be configured for a remote-access dial-in connection, an entry of
the form 'M2c:12345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty ttyM2c /dev/ttyM2c' needs to be added in the /
etc/inittab file. After you have made the change, execute 'init q' so that the 'init' process re-reads the
inittab file and spawns the mgetty process to wait for an incoming connection. Users can then dial in, use
their user names and passwords to log in, and access their accounts on the machine.
To disable dial-in access on a particular port, change the entry in the /etc/inittab file to
'M2c:12345:off:/sbin/mgetty ttyM2c'or just comment-out that entry by prefixing a '#' to the entry
on the line.
LINUX-RPM -- PPP setup:
The 'PPP-HOWTO' (a document that is available as a part of the 'HOWTO' documentation on most of the
distributions under /usr/doc/HOWTO) explains in detail the procedure for configuring a Linux machine as
a PPP server. This information is also available at
http://www.interweft.com.au/other/ppp-howto/ppp-howto.html.
The documentation in the PPP-HOWTO is directly applicable to ISI ports.
Removing the ISI Driver (Linux-RPM)
1.To remove the ISI driver, type rpm -e isicom
If more than one instance of the isicom file exists in the system, an error message will be returned. To resolve
this, type rpm -q isicom. Press ENTER. All isicom RPM modules will be listed. Decide which of these files
you want to delete. Then type rpm -e filename to delete those files.
Installing and Configuring Your Software
You must have communications software installed in your computer to use the Multi-Tech modems on
the ISI5634PCI card. If you want to use communications software that is already installed, you should
reconfigure it for your new modem. Otherwise, install the data and fax communications software provided
the ISI5634PCI.
