docs: serial: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst
The converted files are focused at the Kernel internal API, so, this is a good candidate for the kernel API set of books. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

-
- This driver and installation procedure have been developed upon Linux Kernel
- 2.4.x and 2.6.x. This driver supports Intel x86 hardware platform. In order
- to maintain compatibility, this version has also been properly tested with
- RedHat, Mandrake, Fedora and S.u.S.E Linux. However, if compatibility problem
- occurs, please contact Moxa at support@moxa.com.tw.
-
- In addition to device driver, useful utilities are also provided in this
- version. They are
- - msdiag Diagnostic program for displaying installed Moxa
- Smartio/Industio boards.
- - msmon Monitor program to observe data count and line status signals.
- - msterm A simple terminal program which is useful in testing serial
- ports.
- - io-irq.exe Configuration program to setup ISA boards. Please note that
- this program can only be executed under DOS.
-
- All the drivers and utilities are published in form of source code under
- GNU General Public License in this version. Please refer to GNU General
- Public License announcement in each source code file for more detail.
-
- In Moxa's Web sites, you may always find latest driver at http://www.moxa.com/.
-
- This version of driver can be installed as Loadable Module (Module driver)
- or built-in into kernel (Static driver). You may refer to following
- installation procedure for suitable one. Before you install the driver,
- please refer to hardware installation procedure in the User's Manual.
-
- We assume the user should be familiar with following documents.
- - Serial-HOWTO
- - Kernel-HOWTO
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-2. System Requirement
- - Hardware platform: Intel x86 machine
- - Kernel version: 2.4.x or 2.6.x
- - gcc version 2.72 or later
- - Maximum 4 boards can be installed in combination
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-3. Installation
-
- 3.1 Hardware installation
- 3.2 Driver files
- 3.3 Device naming convention
- 3.4 Module driver configuration
- 3.5 Static driver configuration for Linux kernel 2.4.x, 2.6.x.
- 3.6 Custom configuration
- 3.7 Verify driver installation
-
-
- 3.1 Hardware installation
-
- There are two types of buses, ISA and PCI, for Smartio/Industio
- family multiport board.
-
- ISA board
- ---------
- You'll have to configure CAP address, I/O address, Interrupt Vector
- as well as IRQ before installing this driver. Please refer to hardware
- installation procedure in User's Manual before proceed any further.
- Please make sure the JP1 is open after the ISA board is set properly.
-
- PCI/UPCI board
- --------------
- You may need to adjust IRQ usage in BIOS to avoid from IRQ conflict
- with other ISA devices. Please refer to hardware installation
- procedure in User's Manual in advance.
-
- PCI IRQ Sharing
- -----------
- Each port within the same multiport board shares the same IRQ. Up to
- 4 Moxa Smartio/Industio PCI Family multiport boards can be installed
- together on one system and they can share the same IRQ.
-
-
- 3.2 Driver files
-
- The driver file may be obtained from ftp, CD-ROM or floppy disk. The
- first step, anyway, is to copy driver file "mxser.tgz" into specified
- directory. e.g. /moxa. The execute commands as below.
-
- # cd /
- # mkdir moxa
- # cd /moxa
- # tar xvf /dev/fd0
-
- or
-
- # cd /
- # mkdir moxa
- # cd /moxa
- # cp /mnt/cdrom/<driver directory>/mxser.tgz .
- # tar xvfz mxser.tgz
-
-
- 3.3 Device naming convention
-
- You may find all the driver and utilities files in /moxa/mxser.
- Following installation procedure depends on the model you'd like to
- run the driver. If you prefer module driver, please refer to 3.4.
- If static driver is required, please refer to 3.5.
-
- Dialin and callout port
- -----------------------
- This driver remains traditional serial device properties. There are
- two special file name for each serial port. One is dial-in port
- which is named "ttyMxx". For callout port, the naming convention
- is "cumxx".
-
- Device naming when more than 2 boards installed
- -----------------------------------------------
- Naming convention for each Smartio/Industio multiport board is
- pre-defined as below.
-
- Board Num. Dial-in Port Callout port
- 1st board ttyM0 - ttyM7 cum0 - cum7
- 2nd board ttyM8 - ttyM15 cum8 - cum15
- 3rd board ttyM16 - ttyM23 cum16 - cum23
- 4th board ttyM24 - ttym31 cum24 - cum31
-
-
- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Under Kernel 2.6 the cum Device is Obsolete. So use ttyM*
- device instead.
- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
- Board sequence
- --------------
- This driver will activate ISA boards according to the parameter set
- in the driver. After all specified ISA board activated, PCI board
- will be installed in the system automatically driven.
- Therefore the board number is sorted by the CAP address of ISA boards.
- For PCI boards, their sequence will be after ISA boards and C168H/PCI
- has higher priority than C104H/PCI boards.
-
- 3.4 Module driver configuration
- Module driver is easiest way to install. If you prefer static driver
- installation, please skip this paragraph.
-
-
- ------------- Prepare to use the MOXA driver--------------------
- 3.4.1 Create tty device with correct major number
- Before using MOXA driver, your system must have the tty devices
- which are created with driver's major number. We offer one shell
- script "msmknod" to simplify the procedure.
- This step is only needed to be executed once. But you still
- need to do this procedure when:
- a. You change the driver's major number. Please refer the "3.7"
- section.
- b. Your total installed MOXA boards number is changed. Maybe you
- add/delete one MOXA board.
- c. You want to change the tty name. This needs to modify the
- shell script "msmknod"
-
- The procedure is:
- # cd /moxa/mxser/driver
- # ./msmknod
-
- This shell script will require the major number for dial-in
- device and callout device to create tty device. You also need
- to specify the total installed MOXA board number. Default major
- numbers for dial-in device and callout device are 30, 35. If
- you need to change to other number, please refer section "3.7"
- for more detailed procedure.
- Msmknod will delete any special files occupying the same device
- naming.
-
- 3.4.2 Build the MOXA driver and utilities
- Before using the MOXA driver and utilities, you need compile the
- all the source code. This step is only need to be executed once.
- But you still re-compile the source code if you modify the source
- code. For example, if you change the driver's major number (see
- "3.7" section), then you need to do this step again.
-
- Find "Makefile" in /moxa/mxser, then run
-
- # make clean; make install
-
- !!!!!!!!!! NOTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- For Red Hat 9, Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS3/ES3/WS3 & Fedora Core1:
- # make clean; make installsp1
-
- For Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS4/ES4/WS4:
- # make clean; make installsp2
- !!!!!!!!!! NOTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
- The driver files "mxser.o" and utilities will be properly compiled
- and copied to system directories respectively.
-
- ------------- Load MOXA driver--------------------
- 3.4.3 Load the MOXA driver
-
- # modprobe mxser <argument>
-
- will activate the module driver. You may run "lsmod" to check
- if "mxser" is activated. If the MOXA board is ISA board, the
- <argument> is needed. Please refer to section "3.4.5" for more
- information.
-
-
- ------------- Load MOXA driver on boot --------------------
- 3.4.4 For the above description, you may manually execute
- "modprobe mxser" to activate this driver and run
- "rmmod mxser" to remove it.
- However, it's better to have a boot time configuration to
- eliminate manual operation. Boot time configuration can be
- achieved by rc file. We offer one "rc.mxser" file to simplify
- the procedure under "moxa/mxser/driver".
-
- But if you use ISA board, please modify the "modprobe ..." command
- to add the argument (see "3.4.5" section). After modifying the
- rc.mxser, please try to execute "/moxa/mxser/driver/rc.mxser"
- manually to make sure the modification is ok. If any error
- encountered, please try to modify again. If the modification is
- completed, follow the below step.
-
- Run following command for setting rc files.
-
- # cd /moxa/mxser/driver
- # cp ./rc.mxser /etc/rc.d
- # cd /etc/rc.d
-
- Check "rc.serial" is existed or not. If "rc.serial" doesn't exist,
- create it by vi, run "chmod 755 rc.serial" to change the permission.
- Add "/etc/rc.d/rc.mxser" in last line,
-
- Reboot and check if moxa.o activated by "lsmod" command.
-
- 3.4.5. If you'd like to drive Smartio/Industio ISA boards in the system,
- you'll have to add parameter to specify CAP address of given
- board while activating "mxser.o". The format for parameters are
- as follows.
-
- modprobe mxser ioaddr=0x???,0x???,0x???,0x???
- | | | |
- | | | +- 4th ISA board
- | | +------ 3rd ISA board
- | +------------ 2nd ISA board
- +------------------- 1st ISA board
-
- 3.5 Static driver configuration for Linux kernel 2.4.x and 2.6.x
-
- Note: To use static driver, you must install the linux kernel
- source package.
-
- 3.5.1 Backup the built-in driver in the kernel.
- # cd /usr/src/linux/drivers/char
- # mv mxser.c mxser.c.old
-
- For Red Hat 7.x user, you need to create link:
- # cd /usr/src
- # ln -s linux-2.4 linux
-
- 3.5.2 Create link
- # cd /usr/src/linux/drivers/char
- # ln -s /moxa/mxser/driver/mxser.c mxser.c
-
- 3.5.3 Add CAP address list for ISA boards. For PCI boards user,
- please skip this step.
-
- In module mode, the CAP address for ISA board is given by
- parameter. In static driver configuration, you'll have to
- assign it within driver's source code. If you will not
- install any ISA boards, you may skip to next portion.
- The instructions to modify driver source code are as
- below.
- a. # cd /moxa/mxser/driver
- # vi mxser.c
- b. Find the array mxserBoardCAP[] as below.
-
- static int mxserBoardCAP[]
- = {0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00};
-
- c. Change the address within this array using vi. For
- example, to driver 2 ISA boards with CAP address
- 0x280 and 0x180 as 1st and 2nd board. Just to change
- the source code as follows.
-
- static int mxserBoardCAP[]
- = {0x280, 0x180, 0x00, 0x00};
-
- 3.5.4 Setup kernel configuration
-
- Configure the kernel:
-
- # cd /usr/src/linux
- # make menuconfig
-
- You will go into a menu-driven system. Please select [Character
- devices][Non-standard serial port support], enable the [Moxa
- SmartIO support] driver with "[*]" for built-in (not "[M]"), then
- select [Exit] to exit this program.
-
- 3.5.5 Rebuild kernel
- The following are for Linux kernel rebuilding, for your
- reference only.
- For appropriate details, please refer to the Linux document.
-
- a. cd /usr/src/linux
- b. make clean /* take a few minutes */
- c. make dep /* take a few minutes */
- d. make bzImage /* take probably 10-20 minutes */
- e. make install /* copy boot image to correct position */
- f. Please make sure the boot kernel (vmlinuz) is in the
- correct position.
- g. If you use 'lilo' utility, you should check /etc/lilo.conf
- 'image' item specified the path which is the 'vmlinuz' path,
- or you will load wrong (or old) boot kernel image (vmlinuz).
- After checking /etc/lilo.conf, please run "lilo".
-
- Note that if the result of "make bzImage" is ERROR, then you have to
- go back to Linux configuration Setup. Type "make menuconfig" in
- directory /usr/src/linux.
-
-
- 3.5.6 Make tty device and special file
- # cd /moxa/mxser/driver
- # ./msmknod
-
- 3.5.7 Make utility
- # cd /moxa/mxser/utility
- # make clean; make install
-
- 3.5.8 Reboot
-
-
-
- 3.6 Custom configuration
- Although this driver already provides you default configuration, you
- still can change the device name and major number. The instruction to
- change these parameters are shown as below.
-
- Change Device name
- ------------------
- If you'd like to use other device names instead of default naming
- convention, all you have to do is to modify the internal code
- within the shell script "msmknod". First, you have to open "msmknod"
- by vi. Locate each line contains "ttyM" and "cum" and change them
- to the device name you desired. "msmknod" creates the device names
- you need next time executed.
-
- Change Major number
- -------------------
- If major number 30 and 35 had been occupied, you may have to select
- 2 free major numbers for this driver. There are 3 steps to change
- major numbers.
-
- 3.6.1 Find free major numbers
- In /proc/devices, you may find all the major numbers occupied
- in the system. Please select 2 major numbers that are available.
- e.g. 40, 45.
- 3.6.2 Create special files
- Run /moxa/mxser/driver/msmknod to create special files with
- specified major numbers.
- 3.6.3 Modify driver with new major number
- Run vi to open /moxa/mxser/driver/mxser.c. Locate the line
- contains "MXSERMAJOR". Change the content as below.
- #define MXSERMAJOR 40
- #define MXSERCUMAJOR 45
- 3.6.4 Run "make clean; make install" in /moxa/mxser/driver.
-
- 3.7 Verify driver installation
- You may refer to /var/log/messages to check the latest status
- log reported by this driver whenever it's activated.
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-4. Utilities
- There are 3 utilities contained in this driver. They are msdiag, msmon and
- msterm. These 3 utilities are released in form of source code. They should
- be compiled into executable file and copied into /usr/bin.
-
- Before using these utilities, please load driver (refer 3.4 & 3.5) and
- make sure you had run the "msmknod" utility.
-
- msdiag - Diagnostic
- --------------------
- This utility provides the function to display what Moxa Smartio/Industio
- board found by driver in the system.
-
- msmon - Port Monitoring
- -----------------------
- This utility gives the user a quick view about all the MOXA ports'
- activities. One can easily learn each port's total received/transmitted
- (Rx/Tx) character count since the time when the monitoring is started.
- Rx/Tx throughputs per second are also reported in interval basis (e.g.
- the last 5 seconds) and in average basis (since the time the monitoring
- is started). You can reset all ports' count by <HOME> key. <+> <->
- (plus/minus) keys to change the displaying time interval. Press <ENTER>
- on the port, that cursor stay, to view the port's communication
- parameters, signal status, and input/output queue.
-
- msterm - Terminal Emulation
- ---------------------------
- This utility provides data sending and receiving ability of all tty ports,
- especially for MOXA ports. It is quite useful for testing simple
- application, for example, sending AT command to a modem connected to the
- port or used as a terminal for login purpose. Note that this is only a
- dumb terminal emulation without handling full screen operation.
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-5. Setserial
-
- Supported Setserial parameters are listed as below.
-
- uart set UART type(16450-->disable FIFO, 16550A-->enable FIFO)
- close_delay set the amount of time(in 1/100 of a second) that DTR
- should be kept low while being closed.
- closing_wait set the amount of time(in 1/100 of a second) that the
- serial port should wait for data to be drained while
- being closed, before the receiver is disable.
- spd_hi Use 57.6kb when the application requests 38.4kb.
- spd_vhi Use 115.2kb when the application requests 38.4kb.
- spd_shi Use 230.4kb when the application requests 38.4kb.
- spd_warp Use 460.8kb when the application requests 38.4kb.
- spd_normal Use 38.4kb when the application requests 38.4kb.
- spd_cust Use the custom divisor to set the speed when the
- application requests 38.4kb.
- divisor This option set the custom division.
- baud_base This option set the base baud rate.
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-6. Troubleshooting
-
- The boot time error messages and solutions are stated as clearly as
- possible. If all the possible solutions fail, please contact our technical
- support team to get more help.
-
-
- Error msg: More than 4 Moxa Smartio/Industio family boards found. Fifth board
- and after are ignored.
- Solution:
- To avoid this problem, please unplug fifth and after board, because Moxa
- driver supports up to 4 boards.
-
- Error msg: Request_irq fail, IRQ(?) may be conflict with another device.
- Solution:
- Other PCI or ISA devices occupy the assigned IRQ. If you are not sure
- which device causes the situation, please check /proc/interrupts to find
- free IRQ and simply change another free IRQ for Moxa board.
-
- Error msg: Board #: C1xx Series(CAP=xxx) interrupt number invalid.
- Solution:
- Each port within the same multiport board shares the same IRQ. Please set
- one IRQ (IRQ doesn't equal to zero) for one Moxa board.
-
- Error msg: No interrupt vector be set for Moxa ISA board(CAP=xxx).
- Solution:
- Moxa ISA board needs an interrupt vector.Please refer to user's manual
- "Hardware Installation" chapter to set interrupt vector.
-
- Error msg: Couldn't install MOXA Smartio/Industio family driver!
- Solution:
- Load Moxa driver fail, the major number may conflict with other devices.
- Please refer to previous section 3.7 to change a free major number for
- Moxa driver.
-
- Error msg: Couldn't install MOXA Smartio/Industio family callout driver!

+ - msdiag
+ Diagnostic program for displaying installed Moxa
+ Smartio/Industio boards.
+ - msmon
+ Monitor program to observe data count and line status signals.
+ - msterm A simple terminal program which is useful in testing serial
+ ports.
+ - io-irq.exe
+ Configuration program to setup ISA boards. Please note that
+ this program can only be executed under DOS.
+
+ All the drivers and utilities are published in form of source code under
+ GNU General Public License in this version. Please refer to GNU General
+ Public License announcement in each source code file for more detail.
+
+ In Moxa's Web sites, you may always find latest driver at http://www.moxa.com/.
+
+ This version of driver can be installed as Loadable Module (Module driver)
+ or built-in into kernel (Static driver). You may refer to following
+ installation procedure for suitable one. Before you install the driver,
+ please refer to hardware installation procedure in the User's Manual.
+
+ We assume the user should be familiar with following documents.
+
+ - Serial-HOWTO
+ - Kernel-HOWTO
+
+2. System Requirement
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ - Hardware platform: Intel x86 machine
+ - Kernel version: 2.4.x or 2.6.x
+ - gcc version 2.72 or later
+ - Maximum 4 boards can be installed in combination
+
+3. Installation
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+3.1 Hardware installation
+=========================
+
+ There are two types of buses, ISA and PCI, for Smartio/Industio
+ family multiport board.
+
+ISA board
+---------
+
+ You'll have to configure CAP address, I/O address, Interrupt Vector
+ as well as IRQ before installing this driver. Please refer to hardware
+ installation procedure in User's Manual before proceed any further.
+ Please make sure the JP1 is open after the ISA board is set properly.
+
+PCI/UPCI board
+--------------
+
+ You may need to adjust IRQ usage in BIOS to avoid from IRQ conflict
+ with other ISA devices. Please refer to hardware installation
+ procedure in User's Manual in advance.
+
+PCI IRQ Sharing
+---------------
+
+ Each port within the same multiport board shares the same IRQ. Up to
+ 4 Moxa Smartio/Industio PCI Family multiport boards can be installed
+ together on one system and they can share the same IRQ.
+
+
+3.2 Driver files
+================
+
+ The driver file may be obtained from ftp, CD-ROM or floppy disk. The
+ first step, anyway, is to copy driver file "mxser.tgz" into specified
+ directory. e.g. /moxa. The execute commands as below::
+
+ # cd /
+ # mkdir moxa
+ # cd /moxa
+ # tar xvf /dev/fd0
+
+or::
+
+ # cd /
+ # mkdir moxa
+ # cd /moxa
+ # cp /mnt/cdrom/<driver directory>/mxser.tgz .
+ # tar xvfz mxser.tgz
+
+
+3.3 Device naming convention
+============================
+
+ You may find all the driver and utilities files in /moxa/mxser.
+ Following installation procedure depends on the model you'd like to
+ run the driver. If you prefer module driver, please refer to 3.4.
+ If static driver is required, please refer to 3.5.
+
+Dialin and callout port
+-----------------------
+
+ This driver remains traditional serial device properties. There are
+ two special file name for each serial port. One is dial-in port
+ which is named "ttyMxx". For callout port, the naming convention
+ is "cumxx".
+
+Device naming when more than 2 boards installed
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+ Naming convention for each Smartio/Industio multiport board is
+ pre-defined as below.
+
+ ============ =============== ==============
+ Board Num. Dial-in Port Callout port
+ 1st board ttyM0 - ttyM7 cum0 - cum7
+ 2nd board ttyM8 - ttyM15 cum8 - cum15
+ 3rd board ttyM16 - ttyM23 cum16 - cum23
+ 4th board ttyM24 - ttym31 cum24 - cum31
+ ============ =============== ==============
+
+.. note::
+
+ Under Kernel 2.6 and upper, the cum Device is Obsolete. So use ttyM*
+ device instead.
+
+Board sequence
+--------------
+
+ This driver will activate ISA boards according to the parameter set
+ in the driver. After all specified ISA board activated, PCI board
+ will be installed in the system automatically driven.
+ Therefore the board number is sorted by the CAP address of ISA boards.
+ For PCI boards, their sequence will be after ISA boards and C168H/PCI
+ has higher priority than C104H/PCI boards.
+
+3.4 Module driver configuration
+===============================
+
+ Module driver is easiest way to install. If you prefer static driver
+ installation, please skip this paragraph.
+
+
+ ------------- Prepare to use the MOXA driver --------------------
+
+3.4.1 Create tty device with correct major number
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+ Before using MOXA driver, your system must have the tty devices
+ which are created with driver's major number. We offer one shell
+ script "msmknod" to simplify the procedure.
+ This step is only needed to be executed once. But you still
+ need to do this procedure when:
+
+ a. You change the driver's major number. Please refer the "3.7"
+ section.
+ b. Your total installed MOXA boards number is changed. Maybe you
+ add/delete one MOXA board.
+ c. You want to change the tty name. This needs to modify the
+ shell script "msmknod"
+
+ The procedure is::
+
+ # cd /moxa/mxser/driver
+ # ./msmknod
+
+ This shell script will require the major number for dial-in
+ device and callout device to create tty device. You also need
+ to specify the total installed MOXA board number. Default major
+ numbers for dial-in device and callout device are 30, 35. If
+ you need to change to other number, please refer section "3.7"
+ for more detailed procedure.
+ Msmknod will delete any special files occupying the same device
+ naming.
+
+3.4.2 Build the MOXA driver and utilities
+-----------------------------------------
+
+ Before using the MOXA driver and utilities, you need compile the
+ all the source code. This step is only need to be executed once.
+ But you still re-compile the source code if you modify the source
+ code. For example, if you change the driver's major number (see
+ "3.7" section), then you need to do this step again.
+
+ Find "Makefile" in /moxa/mxser, then run
+
+ # make clean; make install
+
+ ..note::
+
+ For Red Hat 9, Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS3/ES3/WS3 & Fedora Core1:
+ # make clean; make installsp1
+
+ For Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS4/ES4/WS4:
+ # make clean; make installsp2
+
+ The driver files "mxser.o" and utilities will be properly compiled
+ and copied to system directories respectively.
+
+------------- Load MOXA driver--------------------
+
+3.4.3 Load the MOXA driver
+--------------------------
+
+ ::
+
+ # modprobe mxser <argument>
+
+ will activate the module driver. You may run "lsmod" to check
+ if "mxser" is activated. If the MOXA board is ISA board, the
+ <argument> is needed. Please refer to section "3.4.5" for more
+ information.
+
+------------- Load MOXA driver on boot --------------------
+
+3.4.4 Load the mxser driver
+---------------------------
+
+
+ For the above description, you may manually execute
+ "modprobe mxser" to activate this driver and run
+ "rmmod mxser" to remove it.
+
+ However, it's better to have a boot time configuration to
+ eliminate manual operation. Boot time configuration can be
+ achieved by rc file. We offer one "rc.mxser" file to simplify
+ the procedure under "moxa/mxser/driver".
+
+ But if you use ISA board, please modify the "modprobe ..." command
+ to add the argument (see "3.4.5" section). After modifying the
+ rc.mxser, please try to execute "/moxa/mxser/driver/rc.mxser"
+ manually to make sure the modification is ok. If any error
+ encountered, please try to modify again. If the modification is
+ completed, follow the below step.
+
+ Run following command for setting rc files::
+
+ # cd /moxa/mxser/driver
+ # cp ./rc.mxser /etc/rc.d
+ # cd /etc/rc.d
+
+ Check "rc.serial" is existed or not. If "rc.serial" doesn't exist,
+ create it by vi, run "chmod 755 rc.serial" to change the permission.
+
+ Add "/etc/rc.d/rc.mxser" in last line.
+
+ Reboot and check if moxa.o activated by "lsmod" command.
+
+3.4.5. specify CAP address
+--------------------------
+
+ If you'd like to drive Smartio/Industio ISA boards in the system,
+ you'll have to add parameter to specify CAP address of given
+ board while activating "mxser.o". The format for parameters are
+ as follows.::
+
+ modprobe mxser ioaddr=0x???,0x???,0x???,0x???
+ | | | |
+ | | | +- 4th ISA board
+ | | +------ 3rd ISA board
+ | +------------ 2nd ISA board
+ +-------------------1st ISA board
+
+3.5 Static driver configuration for Linux kernel 2.4.x and 2.6.x
+================================================================
+
+ Note:
+ To use static driver, you must install the linux kernel
+ source package.
+
+3.5.1 Backup the built-in driver in the kernel
+----------------------------------------------
+
+ ::
+
+ # cd /usr/src/linux/drivers/char
+ # mv mxser.c mxser.c.old
+
+ For Red Hat 7.x user, you need to create link:
+ # cd /usr/src
+ # ln -s linux-2.4 linux
+
+3.5.2 Create link
+-----------------
+ ::
+
+ # cd /usr/src/linux/drivers/char
+ # ln -s /moxa/mxser/driver/mxser.c mxser.c
+
+3.5.3 Add CAP address list for ISA boards.
+------------------------------------------
+
+ For PCI boards user, please skip this step.
+
+ In module mode, the CAP address for ISA board is given by
+ parameter. In static driver configuration, you'll have to
+ assign it within driver's source code. If you will not
+ install any ISA boards, you may skip to next portion.
+ The instructions to modify driver source code are as
+ below.
+
+ a. run::
+
+ # cd /moxa/mxser/driver
+ # vi mxser.c
+
+ b. Find the array mxserBoardCAP[] as below::
+
+ static int mxserBoardCAP[] = {0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00};
+
+ c. Change the address within this array using vi. For
+ example, to driver 2 ISA boards with CAP address
+ 0x280 and 0x180 as 1st and 2nd board. Just to change
+ the source code as follows::
+
+ static int mxserBoardCAP[] = {0x280, 0x180, 0x00, 0x00};
+
+3.5.4 Setup kernel configuration
+--------------------------------
+
+ Configure the kernel::
+
+ # cd /usr/src/linux
+ # make menuconfig
+
+ You will go into a menu-driven system. Please select [Character
+ devices][Non-standard serial port support], enable the [Moxa
+ SmartIO support] driver with "[*]" for built-in (not "[M]"), then
+ select [Exit] to exit this program.
+
+3.5.5 Rebuild kernel
+--------------------
+
+ The following are for Linux kernel rebuilding, for your
+ reference only.
+
+ For appropriate details, please refer to the Linux document:
+
+ a. Run the following commands::
+
+ cd /usr/src/linux
+ make clean # take a few minutes
+ make dep # take a few minutes
+ make bzImage # take probably 10-20 minutes
+ make install # copy boot image to correct position
+
+ f. Please make sure the boot kernel (vmlinuz) is in the
+ correct position.
+ g. If you use 'lilo' utility, you should check /etc/lilo.conf
+ 'image' item specified the path which is the 'vmlinuz' path,
+ or you will load wrong (or old) boot kernel image (vmlinuz).
+ After checking /etc/lilo.conf, please run "lilo".
+
+ Note that if the result of "make bzImage" is ERROR, then you have to
+ go back to Linux configuration Setup. Type "make menuconfig" in
+ directory /usr/src/linux.
+
+
+3.5.6 Make tty device and special file
+--------------------------------------
+
+ ::
+ # cd /moxa/mxser/driver
+ # ./msmknod
+
+3.5.7 Make utility
+------------------
+
+ ::
+
+ # cd /moxa/mxser/utility
+ # make clean; make install
+
+3.5.8 Reboot
+------------
+
+
+
+3.6 Custom configuration
+========================
+
+ Although this driver already provides you default configuration, you
+ still can change the device name and major number. The instruction to
+ change these parameters are shown as below.
+
+a. Change Device name
+
+ If you'd like to use other device names instead of default naming
+ convention, all you have to do is to modify the internal code
+ within the shell script "msmknod". First, you have to open "msmknod"
+ by vi. Locate each line contains "ttyM" and "cum" and change them
+ to the device name you desired. "msmknod" creates the device names
+ you need next time executed.
+
+b. Change Major number
+
+ If major number 30 and 35 had been occupied, you may have to select
+ 2 free major numbers for this driver. There are 3 steps to change
+ major numbers.
+
+3.6.1 Find free major numbers
+-----------------------------
+
+ In /proc/devices, you may find all the major numbers occupied
+ in the system. Please select 2 major numbers that are available.
+ e.g. 40, 45.
+
+3.6.2 Create special files
+--------------------------
+
+ Run /moxa/mxser/driver/msmknod to create special files with
+ specified major numbers.
+
+3.6.3 Modify driver with new major number
+-----------------------------------------
+
+ Run vi to open /moxa/mxser/driver/mxser.c. Locate the line
+ contains "MXSERMAJOR". Change the content as below::
+
+ #define MXSERMAJOR 40
+ #define MXSERCUMAJOR 45
+
+ 3.6.4 Run "make clean; make install" in /moxa/mxser/driver.
+
+3.7 Verify driver installation
+==============================
+
+ You may refer to /var/log/messages to check the latest status
+ log reported by this driver whenever it's activated.
+
+4. Utilities
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ There are 3 utilities contained in this driver. They are msdiag, msmon and
+ msterm. These 3 utilities are released in form of source code. They should
+ be compiled into executable file and copied into /usr/bin.
+
+ Before using these utilities, please load driver (refer 3.4 & 3.5) and
+ make sure you had run the "msmknod" utility.
+
+msdiag - Diagnostic
+===================
+
+ This utility provides the function to display what Moxa Smartio/Industio
+ board found by driver in the system.
+
+msmon - Port Monitoring
+=======================
+
+ This utility gives the user a quick view about all the MOXA ports'
+ activities. One can easily learn each port's total received/transmitted
+ (Rx/Tx) character count since the time when the monitoring is started.
+
+ Rx/Tx throughputs per second are also reported in interval basis (e.g.
+ the last 5 seconds) and in average basis (since the time the monitoring
+ is started). You can reset all ports' count by <HOME> key. <+> <->
+ (plus/minus) keys to change the displaying time interval. Press <ENTER>
+ on the port, that cursor stay, to view the port's communication
+ parameters, signal status, and input/output queue.
+
+msterm - Terminal Emulation
+===========================
+
+ This utility provides data sending and receiving ability of all tty ports,
+ especially for MOXA ports. It is quite useful for testing simple
+ application, for example, sending AT command to a modem connected to the
+ port or used as a terminal for login purpose. Note that this is only a
+ dumb terminal emulation without handling full screen operation.
+
+5. Setserial
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ Supported Setserial parameters are listed as below.
+
+ ============== =========================================================
+ uart set UART type(16450-->disable FIFO, 16550A-->enable FIFO)
+ close_delay set the amount of time(in 1/100 of a second) that DTR
+ should be kept low while being closed.
+ closing_wait set the amount of time(in 1/100 of a second) that the
+ serial port should wait for data to be drained while
+ being closed, before the receiver is disable.
+ spd_hi Use 57.6kb when the application requests 38.4kb.
+ spd_vhi Use 115.2kb when the application requests 38.4kb.
+ spd_shi Use 230.4kb when the application requests 38.4kb.
+ spd_warp Use 460.8kb when the application requests 38.4kb.
+ spd_normal Use 38.4kb when the application requests 38.4kb.
+ spd_cust Use the custom divisor to set the speed when the
+ application requests 38.4kb.
+ divisor This option set the custom division.
+ baud_base This option set the base baud rate.
+ ============== =========================================================
+
+6. Troubleshooting
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ The boot time error messages and solutions are stated as clearly as
+ possible. If all the possible solutions fail, please contact our technical
+ support team to get more help.
+
+
+ Error msg:
+ More than 4 Moxa Smartio/Industio family boards found. Fifth board
+ and after are ignored.
+
+ Solution:
+ To avoid this problem, please unplug fifth and after board, because Moxa
+ driver supports up to 4 boards.
+
+ Error msg:
+ Request_irq fail, IRQ(?) may be conflict with another device.
+
+ Solution:
+ Other PCI or ISA devices occupy the assigned IRQ. If you are not sure
+ which device causes the situation, please check /proc/interrupts to find
+ free IRQ and simply change another free IRQ for Moxa board.
+
+ Error msg:
+ Board #: C1xx Series(CAP=xxx) interrupt number invalid.
+
+ Solution:
+ Each port within the same multiport board shares the same IRQ. Please set
+ one IRQ (IRQ doesn't equal to zero) for one Moxa board.
+
+ Error msg:
+ No interrupt vector be set for Moxa ISA board(CAP=xxx).
+
+ Solution:
+ Moxa ISA board needs an interrupt vector.Please refer to user's manual
+ "Hardware Installation" chapter to set interrupt vector.
+
+ Error msg:
+ Couldn't install MOXA Smartio/Industio family driver!

+GSM 0710 tty multiplexor HOWTO
+==============================
+
+This line discipline implements the GSM 07.10 multiplexing protocol
+detailed in the following 3GPP document:
+
+ http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/07_series/07.10/0710-720.zip
+
+This document give some hints on how to use this driver with GPRS and 3G
+modems connected to a physical serial port.
+
+How to use it
+-------------
+1. initialize the modem in 0710 mux mode (usually AT+CMUX= command) through
+ its serial port. Depending on the modem used, you can pass more or less
+ parameters to this command,
+2. switch the serial line to using the n_gsm line discipline by using
+ TIOCSETD ioctl,
+3. configure the mux using GSMIOC_GETCONF / GSMIOC_SETCONF ioctl,
+
+Major parts of the initialization program :
+(a good starting point is util-linux-ng/sys-utils/ldattach.c)::
+
+ #include <linux/gsmmux.h>
+ #define N_GSM0710 21 /* GSM 0710 Mux */
+ #define DEFAULT_SPEED B115200
+ #define SERIAL_PORT /dev/ttyS0
+
+ int ldisc = N_GSM0710;
+ struct gsm_config c;
+ struct termios configuration;
+
+ /* open the serial port connected to the modem */
+ fd = open(SERIAL_PORT, O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY | O_NDELAY);
+
+ /* configure the serial port : speed, flow control ... */
+
+ /* send the AT commands to switch the modem to CMUX mode
+ and check that it's successful (should return OK) */
+ write(fd, "AT+CMUX=0\r", 10);
+
+ /* experience showed that some modems need some time before
+ being able to answer to the first MUX packet so a delay
+ may be needed here in some case */
+ sleep(3);
+
+ /* use n_gsm line discipline */
+ ioctl(fd, TIOCSETD, &ldisc);
+
+ /* get n_gsm configuration */
+ ioctl(fd, GSMIOC_GETCONF, &c);
+ /* we are initiator and need encoding 0 (basic) */
+ c.initiator = 1;
+ c.encapsulation = 0;
+ /* our modem defaults to a maximum size of 127 bytes */
+ c.mru = 127;
+ c.mtu = 127;
+ /* set the new configuration */
+ ioctl(fd, GSMIOC_SETCONF, &c);
+
+ /* and wait for ever to keep the line discipline enabled */
+ daemon(0,0);
+ pause();
+
+4. create the devices corresponding to the "virtual" serial ports (take care,
+ each modem has its configuration and some DLC have dedicated functions,
+ for example GPS), starting with minor 1 (DLC0 is reserved for the management
+ of the mux)::
+
+ MAJOR=`cat /proc/devices |grep gsmtty | awk '{print $1}`
+ for i in `seq 1 4`; do
+ mknod /dev/ttygsm$i c $MAJOR $i
+ done
+
+5. use these devices as plain serial ports.
+
+ for example, it's possible:
+
+ - and to use gnokii to send / receive SMS on ttygsm1
+ - to use ppp to establish a datalink on ttygsm2
+
+6. first close all virtual ports before closing the physical port.
+
+ Note that after closing the physical port the modem is still in multiplexing
+ mode. This may prevent a successful re-opening of the port later. To avoid
+ this situation either reset the modem if your hardware allows that or send
+ a disconnect command frame manually before initializing the multiplexing mode
+ for the second time. The byte sequence for the disconnect command frame is::
+
+ 0xf9, 0x03, 0xef, 0x03, 0xc3, 0x16, 0xf9.
