Chapter 1 - Introduction and Description
ISI3334-4/8 Quick Start Guide Introduction Welcome to the world of data communications. You have acquired one of the finest Intelligent Serial Interface cards available today, the MultiModemISI. The MultiModemISI integrates ISI mutiport and Enhanced V.34 modem technology on a single board. It is a "full sized" add-on card which supports a high-speed interface up to 115.2K bps per port. This card has multiple on-board Enhanced V.34 (33.6K bps) data/V.17 (14.
Chapter 1 - Introduction and Description Network managers have the option of starting with the basic four modem configuration (model #ISI334/4), and then adding four more modems at a later date without having to use another PC expansion slot. This is accomplished by pairing one MultiModemISI with an auxiliary module (model #ISI3334/EC) interfacing both with on-board connectors. Some MultiModemISI on-board components include one jumper block for activating the number of ports in increments of 4 or 8.

Chapter 2 - Installation Linux Driver for ISI3334 Server Cards LINUX: Pre-Installation Issues When unpacking the Linux driver, there may be two choices, one for the 2.0.x kernel, and one for the 2.2.x kernel, (ex linux22x.tar). Be absolutely positive about which kernel you have! 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 .
ISI3334-4/8 Quick Start Guide 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 The installation script requires the user to type in the I/O address and the IRQ to be used. The installation creates the script file 'ISICOMStart' in the destination folder. 'ISICOMStart' automates the loading process for the driver and firmware.
Chapter 2 - Installation The ISI Linux driver creates the following TTY devices in /dev directory: - /dev/ttyM1a TO /dev/ttyM1p for the first ISI card - /dev/ttyM2a TO /dev/ttyM2p for the second ISI card - /dev/ttyM3a TO /dev/ttyM3p for the third ISI card - /dev/ttyM4a TO /dev/ttyM4p for the fourth ISI card 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 - /
ISI3334-4/8 Quick Start Guide 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.
