Introduction The ISIHP-4SD is a serial interface card equipped with four terminal adapters only (no analog modems are present). The ISIHP-4SD is otherwise like the ISIHP-4S/4U models. The ISIHP-2S/2U contains two terminal adapters and four V.90/ K56flex modems. The ISIHP-2S/2U uses two ISDN BRI lines (each offering two B-channels) to connect to the telco and these connect to its two built-in terminal adapters. In addition to handling ISDN calls, each terminal adapter can detect analog modem and fax calls.
Introduction The ISIHP-4SD contains four terminal adapters only (the daughter card containing the eight modems is absent). Since it accommodates four ISDN BRI lines (each offering two B-channels), it supports eight independent digital data connections. Each terminal adapter appears as two ports to the server PC using the ISI card. ISIHx cards also support dial-out applications via their modems or terminal adapters.
Introduction From the perspective of the server PC, the ISIHP-2S/2U (or ISIHI-2S/ 2U) is an eight-port serial card with eight devices permanently attached to the serial ports (Figure 1-1). The first four ports are the two terminal adapters, each of which appear as two ports. The remaining four ports are the four central site modems. The following chart summarizes the correlation of ports and devices.
Introduction From the perspective of the server PC, the ISIHP-4S/4U is an sixteenport serial card with sixteen devices permanently attached to the serial ports (Figure 1-2). The first eight ports are the four terminal adapters, each of which appear as two ports. The remaining eight ports are the eight central site modems. The following chart summarizes the correlation of ports and devices. The ISIHP-4SD contains terminal adapters only; no modems are present.

Software/Driver Installation (Linux) Linux Driver for Multi-Tech ISI Server Cards (for PCI and ISA busses) This is the standard installation procedure for Linux and is applicable to all Linux operating systems of the correct kernel level (2.0, 2.2, or 2.4). The next major section of this manual, RedHat Linux 6.2/7.0 RPM Drivers for ISI Server Cards (PCI bus only), is an alternative installation procedure applicable only to RedHat Linux 6.2 and 7.0 using the RedHat Package Management System (RPM).
Software/Driver Installation (Linux) 3. List the files on the CD-ROM and locate the directory for the kernel in use (2.0 or 2.2/2.4), using this command ls 4. Untar the appropriate Linux driver using this command: > tar vxf {filename}/isi At this writing, the filename will be either L300_20X.tar (for 2.0 kernel) or L305_22X_24X.TAR (for 2.2/2.4 kernel). LINUX: Copying & untarring the driver from a floppy The ISI driver .
Software/Driver Installation (Linux) LINUX: Driver installation and loading Execute the 'Install' script to build the driver and to copy the driver and firmware files to the required folder. > cd /isi > ./Install For ISI cards with the ISA bus, the installation script requires the user to type in the I/O address and the IRQ to be used. For ISI cards with the PCI bus, simply press ENTER when asked for addresses and IRQs. The installation creates the script file 'ISICOMStart' in the destination folder.
Software/Driver Installation (Linux) LINUX: Setting the baud rate The 'stty' utility can be used to set the baud rate of a particular port. For example, to set the baud rate of the first port on the first card (ttyM1a) to 38400 bps, execute 'stty 38400 < /dev/ ttyM1a'. The current baud rate can be viewed by executing 'stty < /dev/ ttyM1a'. LINUX: Verifying the ports Terminal utilities like 'minicom' can be used to verify the ports, 'talk' to the modem, and dial out.
Software/Driver Installation (Linux) For 4-port cards, it uses the following: - /dev/ttyM1a TO /dev/ttyM1d for the first ISI card - /dev/ttyM2a TO /dev/ttyM2d for the second ISI card - /dev/ttyM3a TO /dev/ttyM3d for the third ISI card - /dev/ttyM4a TO /dev/ttyM4d for the fourth ISI card For 8-port cards, it uses the following: - /dev/ttyM1a TO /dev/ttyM1h for the first ISI card - /dev/ttyM2a TO /dev/ttyM2h for the second ISI card - /dev/ttyM3a TO /dev/ttyM3h for the third ISI card - /dev/ttyM4a TO /dev/ttyM
Software/Driver Installation (Linux) - /dev/ttyM1a to /dev/ttyM1d for ISDN ports. (These four ports correspond to the total of four B-channels available on the two BRI lines that can be connected to these cards.) - /dev/ttyM1e to /dev/ttyM1h for modem ports. (These four ports accommodate the total of four 56K modems that can operate on the four B-channels available on the two BRI lines that can be connected to these cards.
Software/Driver Installation (Linux) LINUX -- 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. Note: A base I/O address of 0, e.g.
Software/Driver Installation (Linux) To remove the driver manually, enter rmmod isicom. This removes the driver only if no ISI ports are in use. Removing the ISI Driver (Linux) 1. Type cd /usr/local. Press ENTER. 2. Type rm -r ISICOM. Press ENTER. 3. This will remove driver for all ISIHx cards in that Linux server. 4. Remove the isictl file by typing rm isictl in the /dev directory. 5. Remove all devices that start with ttyM1x, ttyM2x, ttyM3x and ttyM4x in the /dev directory.
Software/Driver Installation (Linux) RedHat Linux 6.2/7.0 RPM Drivers for ISI Server Cards (PCI bus only) This installation procedure applies only to RedHat Linux versions 6.2 and 7.0 and only when used with ISIHP server cards, that is, those with the PCI bus. The standard Linux installation procedure (Linux Driver for Multi-Tech ISI Server Cards (for PCI and ISA busses)) still applies to all use of Linux in ISIHI and ISIHP server cards. (Note that RedHat Linux versions 6.2 and 7.0 both use the Linux 2.
Software/Driver Installation (Linux) LINUX-RPM: Copying the driver from a floppy The ISI driver .rpm file can be copied from a DOS formatted floppy using the 'mcopy' command if the 'mtools' have been installed. For RPM version 6.2, issue the command 'mcopy a:isicom-1.1-3.src.rpm ' to copy the isicom-1.1-3.src.rpm ( or current driver name) file to the destination folder. For RPM version 7.0, issue the command 'mcopy a:isicom-1.2-3.src.rpm ' to copy the isicom-1.2-3.
