| 1 | Linux Quicknet-Drivers-Howto | ||
| 2 | Quicknet Technologies, Inc. (www.quicknet.net) | ||
| 3 | Version 0.3.4 December 18, 1999 | ||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | 1.0 Introduction | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | This document describes the first GPL release version of the Linux | ||
| 8 | driver for the Quicknet Internet PhoneJACK and Internet LineJACK | ||
| 9 | cards. More information about these cards is available at | ||
| 10 | www.quicknet.net. The driver version discussed in this document is | ||
| 11 | 0.3.4. | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | These cards offer nice telco style interfaces to use your standard | ||
| 14 | telephone/key system/PBX as the user interface for VoIP applications. | ||
| 15 | The Internet LineJACK also offers PSTN connectivity for a single line | ||
| 16 | Internet to PSTN gateway. Of course, you can add more than one card | ||
| 17 | to a system to obtain multi-line functionality. At this time, the | ||
| 18 | driver supports the POTS port on both the Internet PhoneJACK and the | ||
| 19 | Internet LineJACK, but the PSTN port on the latter card is not yet | ||
| 20 | supported. | ||
| 21 | |||
| 22 | This document, and the drivers for the cards, are intended for a | ||
| 23 | limited audience that includes technically capable programmers who | ||
| 24 | would like to experiment with Quicknet cards. The drivers are | ||
| 25 | considered in ALPHA status and are not yet considered stable enough | ||
| 26 | for general, widespread use in an unlimited audience. | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | That's worth saying again: | ||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | THE LINUX DRIVERS FOR QUICKNET CARDS ARE PRESENTLY IN A ALPHA STATE | ||
| 31 | AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED AS READY FOR NORMAL WIDESPREAD USE. | ||
| 32 | |||
| 33 | They are released early in the spirit of Internet development and to | ||
| 34 | make this technology available to innovators who would benefit from | ||
| 35 | early exposure. | ||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | When we promote the device driver to "beta" level it will be | ||
| 38 | considered ready for non-programmer, non-technical users. Until then, | ||
| 39 | please be aware that these drivers may not be stable and may affect | ||
| 40 | the performance of your system. | ||
| 41 | |||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | 1.1 Latest Additions/Improvements | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | The 0.3.4 version of the driver is the first GPL release. Several | ||
| 46 | features had to be removed from the prior binary only module, mostly | ||
| 47 | for reasons of Intellectual Property rights. We can't release | ||
| 48 | information that is not ours - so certain aspects of the driver had to | ||
| 49 | be removed to protect the rights of others. | ||
| 50 | |||
| 51 | Specifically, very old Internet PhoneJACK cards have non-standard | ||
| 52 | G.723.1 codecs (due to the early nature of the DSPs in those days). | ||
| 53 | The auto-conversion code to bring those cards into compliance with | ||
| 54 | today's standards is available as a binary only module to those people | ||
| 55 | needing it. If you bought your card after 1997 or so, you are OK - | ||
| 56 | it's only the very old cards that are affected. | ||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | Also, the code to download G.728/G.729/G.729a codecs to the DSP is | ||
| 59 | available as a binary only module as well. This IP is not ours to | ||
| 60 | release. | ||
| 61 | |||
| 62 | Hooks are built into the GPL driver to allow it to work with other | ||
| 63 | companion modules that are completely separate from this module. | ||

| 85 | accurate, the information contained here may be unreliable and there | ||
| 86 | are likely a number of errors in this document. Please let the | ||

| 98 | 1.3 Future Plans: You Can Help | ||
| 99 | |||
| 100 | Please let the maintainer know of any errors in facts, opinions, | ||
| 101 | logic, spelling, grammar, clarity, links, etc. But first, if the date | ||
| 102 | is over a month old, check to see that you have the latest | ||
| 103 | version. Please send any info that you think belongs in this document. | ||
| 104 | |||
| 105 | You can also contribute code and/or bug-fixes for the sample | ||
| 106 | applications. | ||
| 107 | |||

| 114 | |||
| 115 | 1.5 Mailing List | ||
| 116 | |||
| 117 | Quicknet operates a mailing list to provide a public forum on using | ||
| 118 | these drivers. | ||
| 119 | |||
| 120 | To subscribe to the linux-sdk mailing list, send an email to: | ||
| 121 | |||
| 122 | majordomo@linux.quicknet.net | ||
| 123 | |||
| 124 | In the body of the email, type: | ||
| 125 | |||
| 126 | subscribe linux-sdk <your-email-address> | ||
| 127 | |||
| 128 | Please delete any signature block that you would normally add to the | ||
| 129 | bottom of your email - it tends to confuse majordomo. | ||
| 130 | |||
| 131 | To send mail to the list, address your mail to | ||
| 132 | |||
| 133 | linux-sdk@linux.quicknet.net | ||
| 134 | |||
| 135 | Your message will go out to everyone on the list. | ||

| 147 | 2.0 Requirements | ||
| 148 | |||
| 149 | 2.1 Quicknet Card(s) | ||
| 150 | |||
| 151 | You will need at least one Internet PhoneJACK or Internet LineJACK | ||
| 152 | cards. These are ISA or PCI bus devices that use Plug-n-Play for | ||
| 153 | configuration, and use no IRQs. The driver will support up to 16 | ||
| 154 | cards in any one system, of any mix between the two types. | ||
| 155 | |||
| 156 | Note that you will need two cards to do any useful testing alone, since | ||
| 157 | you will need a card on both ends of the connection. Of course, if | ||
| 158 | you are doing collaborative work, perhaps your friends or coworkers | ||
| 159 | have cards too. If not, we'll gladly sell them some! | ||
| 160 | |||
| 161 | |||
| 162 | 2.2 ISAPNP | ||
| 163 | |||
| 164 | Since the Quicknet cards are Plug-n-Play devices, you will need the | ||
| 165 | isapnp tools package to configure the cards, or you can use the isapnp | ||
| 166 | module to autoconfigure them. The former package probably came with | ||
| 167 | your Linux distribution. Documentation on this package is available | ||
| 168 | online at: | ||
| 169 | |||
| 170 | http://mailer.wiwi.uni-marburg.de/linux/LDP/HOWTO/Plug-and-Play-HOWTO.html | ||
| 171 | |||
| 172 | The isapnp autoconfiguration is available on the Quicknet website at: | ||
| 173 | |||
| 174 | http://www.quicknet.net/develop.htm | ||
| 175 | |||
| 176 | though it may be in the kernel by the time you read this. | ||
| 177 | |||
| 178 | |||
| 179 | 3.0 Card Configuration | ||
| 180 | |||
| 181 | If you did not get your drivers as part of the linux kernel, do the | ||
| 182 | following to install them: | ||
| 183 | |||
| 184 | a. untar the distribution file. We use the following command: | ||
| 185 | tar -xvzf ixj-0.x.x.tgz | ||
| 186 | |||
| 187 | This creates a subdirectory holding all the necessary files. Go | ||
