1. General Information and Hardware Requirements 1.1. Introduction The ACP Modem for Linux is a software based modem. Support software for the ACP modem is composed of a loadable kernel module and a user level application.
1.6. Which Systems are Supported This version of the ACP Modem driver supports the IBM Thinkpad" 600E, 600, and 770 that include on−board ACP modem hardware. 1.7. Features of the Modem The ACP Modem provides the following features: Standard asynchronous COM port interface (NS16550A UART compatible) operation • Bell−103/212A, CCITT−V.
2. Compilation, Installation, and Startup 2.1. Prerequisites A 2.2.16 series (or later) Linux kernel source tree • An appropriate set of module utilities • gcc version 2.
Country information (including access codes) are listed in the mwavem.conf file. For example, for France the following section is present: [TelephonyCountry List33] CountryCode=00000021 Name=France SameAreaRule=0FG LongDistanceRule=0FG InternationsalRule=00EFG To set France to be your configured country in the [WORLDTRADE] section of mwavem.
The following arguments are not persistent from boot to boot (i.e. We are not saving them in the BIOS). mwave_3780i_irq=5/7/10/11/15 • This parameter allows you to configure the IRQ used by the DSP if the DSP IRQ was not set and stored in BIOS by the Thinkpad" configuration utility.
during the build process. Setup the serial driver to recognize the UART provided by the ACP driver. 2. setserial /dev/ttyS0 autoconfig NOTE Substitute /dev/ttyS0 to match the serial port you have configured the DSP to use. NOTE You may wish to create a symbolic link from your modem device to your serial device for convenience.
3. Resolving Installation and Configuration Problems The following sections list solutions to possible problems you may experience. 3.1. DSP Does Not Start In order to recognize memory above 64 Meg, it may be necessary to append the "mem=" option to the kernel command line.
IRQ 4, I/O address 0x3f8 (if using ttyS0) For dual boot systems we recommeded that you use the Thinkpad" Configuration Utility on Windows NT or DOS to configure these system resources. Windows NT Thinkpad Configuration Utility Notes: (Under the Internal Modem −−> Advanced selection) Set IRQ sharing to disabled 1.
setserial /dev/ttySx The above command should return the following for serial port 1: /dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x2f8, IRQ: 3 The port and IRQ numbers should match the information placed in the .
4. Debugging Tips 4.1. Error Logs Errors encountered by the ACP Modem device driver or application are logged using the syslog utility. 4.2. Tracing The ACP device driver supports a debug argument to enable the generation of trace information. The command for this debug is listed below.
MWMPW32_TRACE=1 MWMUTIL_TRACE=1 MWWTT32_TRACE=1 Trace information is logged using the syslog utility. Linux ACP Modem (Mwave) mini−HOWTO 4. Debugging Tips 11.
5. Test Claims This driver has been tested using the ThinkPad" 600E. The same chipset is integrated on the 600 and 770 models and should work. 5. Test Claims 12.
