NAME

       actctrl - configure IBM Active 2000 ISDN adaptor

SYNOPSIS

       actctrl [-d Driver-Id] action options ...

DESCRIPTION

       actctrl is used to setup the IBM Active 2000 ISDN device driver and for downloading the firmware into the ISDN card.

       The use of actctrl makes sense, if you are using an IBM Active 2000 card only.

OPTIONS

       -d Driver-Id
	      selects  the S0 interface named by Driver-Id.  Driver-Ids are defined during driver initialisation. See act2000(4) for a description
	      of the syntax to be used for modularized and monolithic driver versions.	This option must be used to identify the S0  interface	if
	      more  than  one S0 interface is existent. If a single IBM Active 2000 is used, it may be omitted.  If using more than one card, sup-
	      port for the other cards is enabled with the add action of actctrl. Ids may not start with digits or small x, because  these  values
	      are  misinterpreted  as  numeric parameters by insmod.  For loading the module, always the newest modutils package should be used to
	      avoid problems during load.

       The following actions may be given to actctrl.

       add [bus[ port[ irq[ id]]]]
	      enables support for an additional card in the driver.  bus is is an integer describing the bus-type of the card. Currently, the only
	      value  which is allowed here is 1 meaning ISA-bus. In the future, the values 2 (for MCA) and 3 (for PCMCIA) will be available.  port
	      is either an integer describing the base port, or the string auto which enables autoprobing.  irq is either  an  integer	describing
	      the  IRQ	to use, the string auto, which enables grabbing of the next free IRQ or the string none which enables polled mode for this
	      card.  id is an arbitrary string for referencing the card at a later time.

       dproto protocol [msn0,msn1, ... msn9]
	      selects the D-channel protocol and defines MSN's if using Euro protocol.	protocol may be either the string 1tr6 or the string euro.
	      If  selecting Euro protocol, a comma-separated list of up to 10 MSN's may be appended. For defining an empty entry in this list, use
	      a dash.

       load firmware
	      downloads the firmware into the card and starts operation.  Usually the images are located in '/lib/firmware/isdn'.  The firmware is
	      named bip1120.bpl.

       dump   is  available  if the program is configured using the --enable-dump option only. The contents of internal driver variables is dumped
	      on stdout.

FILES

       '/lib/firmware/isdn'/bip1120.bpl
	      This is the image of the firmware designed for both the German 1TR6 protocol and Euro ISDN.

BUGS

       No bugs so far.
