Based on kernel version 4.16.1. Page generated on 2018-04-09 11:53 EST.

1	Driver for active AVM Controller.
2	
3	The driver provides a kernel capi2.0 Interface (kernelcapi) and
4	on top of this a User-Level-CAPI2.0-interface (capi)
5	and a driver to connect isdn4linux with CAPI2.0 (capidrv).
6	The lowlevel interface can be used to implement a CAPI2.0
7	also for passive cards since July 1999.
8	
9	The author can be reached at calle@calle.in-berlin.de.
10	The command avmcapictrl is part of the isdn4k-utils.
11	t4-files can be found at ftp://ftp.avm.de/cardware/b1/linux/firmware
12	
13	Currently supported cards:
14		B1 ISA (all versions)
15		B1 PCI
16		T1/T1B (HEMA card)
17		M1
18		M2
19		B1 PCMCIA

21	Installing
22	----------
23	
24	You need at least /dev/capi20 to load the firmware.
25	
26	mknod /dev/capi20 c 68 0
27	mknod /dev/capi20.00 c 68 1
28	mknod /dev/capi20.01 c 68 2
29	.
30	.
31	.
32	mknod /dev/capi20.19 c 68 20
33	
34	Running
35	-------
36	
37	To use the card you need the t4-files to download the firmware.
38	AVM GmbH provides several t4-files for the different D-channel
39	protocols (b1.t4 for Euro-ISDN). Install these file in /lib/isdn.
40	
41	if you configure as modules load the modules this way:
42	
43	insmod /lib/modules/current/misc/capiutil.o
44	insmod /lib/modules/current/misc/b1.o
45	insmod /lib/modules/current/misc/kernelcapi.o
46	insmod /lib/modules/current/misc/capidrv.o
47	insmod /lib/modules/current/misc/capi.o
48	
49	if you have an B1-PCI card load the module b1pci.o
50	insmod /lib/modules/current/misc/b1pci.o
51	and load the firmware with
52	avmcapictrl load /lib/isdn/b1.t4 1
53	
54	if you have an B1-ISA card load the module b1isa.o
55	and add the card by calling
56	avmcapictrl add 0x150 15
57	and load the firmware by calling
58	avmcapictrl load /lib/isdn/b1.t4 1
59	
60	if you have an T1-ISA card load the module t1isa.o
61	and add the card by calling
62	avmcapictrl add 0x450 15 T1 0
63	and load the firmware by calling
64	avmcapictrl load /lib/isdn/t1.t4 1
65	
66	if you have an PCMCIA card (B1/M1/M2) load the module b1pcmcia.o
67	before you insert the card.
68	
69	Leased Lines with B1
70	--------------------
71	Init card and load firmware.
72	For an D64S use "FV: 1" as phone number
73	For an D64S2 use "FV: 1" and "FV: 2" for multilink
74	or "FV: 1,2" to use CAPI channel bundling.
