11. Introduction
®
The intelligent Tahoe 970 series PCI interface cards are
equipped with one or two G.703 ports working with throughputs up to
2048 kbps. The use of E1 streams never was that easy - now the data
stream may be plugged directly into the PC and the operating system
treats it as a regular network interface.
The built-in hardware HDLC controller fully services the data
transmission, thus the PC processor isn’t unnecessarily loaded.
Both Linux and FreeBSD drivers are available, supporting Frame
®
Relay, HDLC, Cisco HDLC, X.25 and synchronous PPP protocols.

2. Card installation
Following steps should be taken to install the card:
¡disconnect the power cable from the power supply
¡remove the case
¡find an unoccupied PCI slot
¡unscrew the masking plate in the rear of the free PCI slot
¡insert the card into the slot (the card connectors should be
accessible through the rear opening in the case)
¡screw on the card firmly to the case
¡close the case and switch the power on
After installing the card connect the G.703 port to the external
G.703 device (e.g. a HDSL modem).
The G.703 port has a RJ-45 connector. The G.703 standard
doesn’t specify the connector pinout, but the pinout used is the most
common in the industry, thus in most cases a regular straight patch-cord
may be used to connect the card to the external device.
Anyway the pinout should be carefully checked before connecting
the DCE device. The RX+ pin of the card should be connected to the TX+
pin of the other device, the RX- pin to the TX- pin, TX+ to RX+ and TX- to
RX-.

option. A list of options will appear, on which you should select
"Generic HDLC layer", appropriate protocols (like "Frame Relay
support") and Tahoe card drivers ("Tahoe 9xx support"). You can
insert them permanently into the kernel ("<*>") or compile as a
module ("<M>").
¡besides Tahoe drivers you may need to enable other options like
the Ethernet card support, SCSI drivers, multimedia devices, etc.
¡after configuring a kernel it should compiled:
root@linux /usr/src/linux # make dep
root@linux /usr/src/linux # make clean
root@linux /usr/src/linux # make bzImage
A new kernel should be now installed.
3.1.2. New Linux kernel installation
After the compilation, the kernel is placed in a file named
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage. Now you should copy it to the
/boot directory changing its name to a more meaningful one:
root@linux /usr/src/linux # cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage
/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.24-tahoe
Then you have to install it. The most widely used kernel loader is
LILO (Linux Loader). In its configuration file - /etc/lilo.conf - at the end
you should add new section:
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.24-tahoe
label = Tahoe
root = /dev/hda1
read-only
Instead of /dev/hda1 you may need to enter the name of the
partition where the Linux root filesystem resides.
To install LILO with new settings simply type 'lilo'. Then you can
force loading of a new kernel at the next system boot:
root@linux ~ # lilo
root@linux ~ # lilo -R Tahoe
After entering these commands you should restart your system -
it will boot with the new kernel. If everything works fine, you can add a
line ‘default = Tahoe' to the /etc/lilo.conf file and type 'lilo', so the kernel
labeled 'Tahoe' will be the default one used at the system boot.
If for some reason you cannot use this kernel (e.g. drivers for
5
other system components are missing), you may simply reboot your
system and the old kernel will be loaded again.
If the drivers were compiled as a module, then after booting of
the new kernel you should load them:
root@linux ~ # modprobe tahoe9xx
In the /var/log/messages file you should see messages
confirming successful loading of the drivers and detecting a card:
kernel: Tahoe 9xx driver version: 1.15t
kernel: Tahoe972: 256 KB RAM at 0xd9000000, IRQ5,
using 10 TX + 75 RX packets rings
kernel: hdlc0: Tahoe972 node 0
kernel: hdlc1: Tahoe972 node 1
If the modules were permanently compiled into the kernel, then
such messages will appear during the system boot. You can review them
using the dmesg command.
Since now there are new interfaces available - hdlc0 and hdlc1 (or
hdlc0 alone in case of one-port cards).
The next step is to configure the card using the sethdlc utility
(described after the FreeBSD installation section)
3.2. FreeBSD drivers
The “freebsd” directory contains:
if_th.ko
¡- a kernel module
sethdlc-1.15t.tar.gz
¡- sethdlc source code
Copy the drivers from the CD-ROM and unpack them using
following command:
tar -zxvlf tahoe9xx-freebsd5.1.tar.gz
(instead 5.1 there may be 4.8 in case of FreeBSD 4.8 drivers)
Directory tahoe9xx-freebsd5.1 will be created, containing kernel
module and source code of sethdlc utility. To compile and install drivers
enter:
make install
Driver module if_th.ko will be installed in modules directory -
/boot/kernel in case of FreeBSD 5.1 or /modules in case of FreeBSD

insert them permanently into the kernel ("<*>") or compile as a
module ("<M>").

3.1.2. New Linux kernel installation
After the compilation, the kernel is placed in a file named
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage. Now you should copy it to the
/boot directory changing its name to a more meaningful one:
root@linux /usr/src/linux # cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage
/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.24-tahoe
Then you have to install it. The most widely used kernel loader is
LILO (Linux Loader). In its configuration file - /etc/lilo.conf - at the end
you should add new section:
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.24-tahoe
label = Tahoe
root = /dev/hda1
read-only
Instead of /dev/hda1 you may need to enter the name of the
partition where the Linux root filesystem resides.
To install LILO with new settings simply type 'lilo'. Then you can
force loading of a new kernel at the next system boot:
root@linux ~ # lilo
root@linux ~ # lilo -R Tahoe
After entering these commands you should restart your system -
it will boot with the new kernel. If everything works fine, you can add a
line ‘default = Tahoe' to the /etc/lilo.conf file and type 'lilo', so the kernel
labeled 'Tahoe' will be the default one used at the system boot.

kernel: hdlc0: Tahoe972 node 0
kernel: hdlc1: Tahoe972 node 1
If the modules were permanently compiled into the kernel, then
such messages will appear during the system boot. You can review them
using the dmesg command.
Since now there are new interfaces available - hdlc0 and hdlc1 (or
hdlc0 alone in case of one-port cards).
The next step is to configure the card using the sethdlc utility
(described after the FreeBSD installation section)
3.2. FreeBSD drivers
The “freebsd” directory contains:
if_th.ko
¡- a kernel module
sethdlc-1.15t.tar.gz
¡- sethdlc source code
Copy the drivers from the CD-ROM and unpack them using
following command:
tar -zxvlf tahoe9xx-freebsd5.1.tar.gz
(instead 5.1 there may be 4.8 in case of FreeBSD 4.8 drivers)
Directory tahoe9xx-freebsd5.1 will be created, containing kernel
module and source code of sethdlc utility. To compile and install drivers
enter:
make install
Driver module if_th.ko will be installed in modules directory -
/boot/kernel in case of FreeBSD 5.1 or /modules in case of FreeBSD
3.2
3.1.2

4.8. Now it can be loaded using kldload if_th command or by bringing
the interface up: ifconfig th0 up. One interface - th0 - is added when
using one-port card and two interfaces - th0 and th1 - when using two-
port card.
Now the card sould be configured using the sethdlc utility.
3.3. Using sethdlc
The sethdlc utility is used to configure the WAN card. In case of
FreeBSD drivers it is compiled and installed along with the kernel
modules. In case of Linux drivers it is supplied in a separate file and
additional steps must be followed to install it:
root@linux /usr/src # tar -zxvf sethdlc-1.15t.tar.gz
root@linux /usr/src # cd sethdlc-1.15t
root@linux /usr/src/sethdlc-1.15t # make
root@linux /usr/src/sethdlc-1.15t # make install
3.3.1. WAN protocol choice
The sethdlc utility may be used to select the protocol used on the
WAN link. Some of the options are available in the Linux driver only.
Under Linux configure the hdlc0 and hdlc1 interfaces and under FreeBSD
- th0 and th1.
¡transparent HDLC (Linux driver only):
sethdlc hdlc0 hdlc [encoding] [parity]
where:
encoding nrz nrzi fm-mark fm-space manchester
¡is one of: , , , ,
parity no-parity crc16 crc16-pr0 crc16-itu crc16-
¡:,,,,
itu-pr0 crc32-itu
,
¡HDLC treated as an Ethernet interface (Linux driver only):
sethdlc hdlc0 hdlc-eth [encoding] [parity]
parameters same as above
®
¡Cisco HDLC:
sethdlc hdlc0 cisco [interval value] [timeout value]
where:
interval value
¡is the time between subsequent keepalive
packets sent through the interface
timeout value
¡is the time, after which in case of no reception
of keepalive frames the link is treated as unusable
¡Frame Relay:
sethdlc hdlc0 fr [lmi type [parameter]]
where:
type none ansi ccitt
¡is the LMI type: , ,
parameter dce (Linux
¡is a Frame Relay protocol parameter:
only) t391 value t392 value n391 value n392 value n393
,,,,,
value
Moreover in case of Frame Relay protocol you can create and
delete PVCs (Permanent Virtual Channels) with given DLCI values:
sethdlc hdlc0 create 99
sethdlc hdlc0 delete 99
After creating a PVC, a new interface is created. Under Linux
these interfaces have names pvc0, pvc1 and so on. Under FreeBSD
the name depends on the DLCI number. In the example above a
pvc99 interface would be created
¡Synchronous PPP:
sethdlc hdlc0 ppp
3.3.2. Timeslots selection
For a proper operation of the G.703 port you have to specify,
which timeslots are used for transmission. Timeslots can be given in two
ways - as a list of numbers (from 1 to 32) and ranges separated by
commas or as a string of zeros and ones (where '0' means an unused slot
and '1' - an used one, with the first slot at the beginning of the string):
¡sethdlc hdlc0 slotmap 2-8,20-21,25
¡sethdlc hdlc0 slotmap 01111111000000000001100010000000
Use of the first timeslot automaticaly enables unframed mode,
where whole 2048 kbps are used for data transfer. Otherwise the first
timeslot is used for framing synchronization. You can also enable the
unframed mode by typing:
sethdlc hdlc0 slotmap all
