Software/Driver Installation (Linux)
72 MultiModemISI Hybrid Server Cards, ISIHP & ISIHI Series
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 2.2 version
kernel.)
LINUX-RPM: Pre-Installation Issues
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-RPM: Copying the driver from the media
The RedHat Linux RPM drivers are on the ISI-Family Installation CD-
ROM in separate directories, ServCard/Drivers/Linux/RPMS/70RPM
for version 7.0 and ServCard/Drivers/Linux/RPMS/62RPM for
version 6.2. In some cases, users may download RPM drivers from
the MultiTech web site onto diskette (in ext2 format). We present
instructions for both situations below.
LINUX-RPM: Copying the driver from CD-ROM
1. Mount the CD-ROM using this command:
mount -r /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
2. Change directory
cd /mnt/cdrom
3. List the RPM files on the CD-ROM using this command:
ls
