This is the README file for the "isdn4k-utils" package from "The i4l-crew".
This package contains the following stuff:
isdnctrl, general link-level setup utility.
icnctrl, setup utility for the icn driver.
telesctrl, setup utility for the teles driver.
hisaxctrl, setup utility for the HiSax driver.
pcbitctl, setup utility for the pcbit driver.
imon, a ncurses based utility for monitoring ISDN-activities.
imontty, a tty based utility for monitoring ISDN-activities.
isdnlog, a set of utilities for connection logging.
xmonisdn, a utility for monitoring and controlling ISDN-activity.
xisdnload, an xload-like meter.
isdnmon, a Tcl/Tk based utility for monitoring ISDN-activities.
System prerequisites:
To use this package, you need a kernel with an ISDN-subsystem configured.
To get a such a kernel, take a clean standard-kernel (> Version 2.0.29 or
> 2.1.26 resp.) enable the isdn-related features you want and build the
kernel as usual. If applicable some patches may be needed
isdn-patches are available at
ftp.franken.de:/pub/isdn4linux
For using modularised parts of the ISDN-subsystem, newest modutils
are strongly recommended.
3. Configuration, Compilation.
Run "make config"
This will run an interactive configuration tool and the various
configuration-scripts for each sub-package. (You may know that
tool from kernel menuconfig.)
There is a global configuration directory, where most programs
expect their configuration files. The default is /etc/isdn.
Run "make"
This builds all utilities except the Tcl/Tk-script "isdnmon"
4. Installation
For the following steps, root permissions are necessary
a) Create the device-inodes:
make devices
b) Install the utilities, the man pages and config-files:
make install
The config files usually are installed in /etc/isdn if not
specified otherwise during configuration.
5. Application
The directory ./etc contains an example startup-script which gets
not installed automatically, because it MUST BE CONFIGURED IN ANY
CASE! Please don't try to connect to the Internet without setting
your own IP-addresses. This script is intended to be used with
the modularised version of the ISDN-subsystem. Refer to the
Documentation/isdn subdirectory of your kernel-source-tree for
more information on configuring Lowlevel drivers.
For the utilities "isdnctrl", "icnctrl" "telesctrl" and "imon" refer to
the man pages. For the other contributed utilities, look into their
subdirectories for Documentation.
For tips, troubleshooting etc. look into the FAQ subdirectory
