1Linux Quicknet-Drivers-Howto
2Quicknet Technologies, Inc. (www.quicknet.net)
3Version 0.3.4 December 18, 1999
4
51.0 Introduction
6
7This document describes the first GPL release version of the Linux
8driver for the Quicknet Internet PhoneJACK and Internet LineJACK
9cards. More information about these cards is available at
10www.quicknet.net. The driver version discussed in this document is
110.3.4.
12
13These cards offer nice telco style interfaces to use your standard
14telephone/key system/PBX as the user interface for VoIP applications.
15The Internet LineJACK also offers PSTN connectivity for a single line
16Internet to PSTN gateway. Of course, you can add more than one card
17to a system to obtain multi-line functionality. At this time, the
18driver supports the POTS port on both the Internet PhoneJACK and the
19Internet LineJACK, but the PSTN port on the latter card is not yet
20supported.
21
22This document, and the drivers for the cards, are intended for a
23limited audience that includes technically capable programmers who
24would like to experiment with Quicknet cards. The drivers are
25considered in ALPHA status and are not yet considered stable enough
26for general, widespread use in an unlimited audience.
27
28That's worth saying again:
29
30THE LINUX DRIVERS FOR QUICKNET CARDS ARE PRESENTLY IN A ALPHA STATE
31AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED AS READY FOR NORMAL WIDESPREAD USE.
32
33They are released early in the spirit of Internet development and to
34make this technology available to innovators who would benefit from
35early exposure.
36
37When we promote the device driver to "beta" level it will be
38considered ready for non-programmer, non-technical users. Until then,
39please be aware that these drivers may not be stable and may affect
40the performance of your system.
41
42
431.1 Latest Additions/Improvements
44
45The 0.3.4 version of the driver is the first GPL release. Several
46features had to be removed from the prior binary only module, mostly
47for reasons of Intellectual Property rights. We can't release
48information that is not ours - so certain aspects of the driver had to
49be removed to protect the rights of others.
50
51Specifically, very old Internet PhoneJACK cards have non-standard
52G.723.1 codecs (due to the early nature of the DSPs in those days).
53The auto-conversion code to bring those cards into compliance with
54today's standards is available as a binary only module to those people
55needing it. If you bought your card after 1997 or so, you are OK -
56it's only the very old cards that are affected.
57
58Also, the code to download G.728/G.729/G.729a codecs to the DSP is
59available as a binary only module as well. This IP is not ours to
60release.
61
62Hooks are built into the GPL driver to allow it to work with other
63companion modules that are completely separate from this module.

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

1151.5 Mailing List
116
117Quicknet operates a mailing list to provide a public forum on using
118these drivers.
119
120To subscribe to the linux-sdk mailing list, send an email to:
121
122 majordomo@linux.quicknet.net
123
124In the body of the email, type:
125
126 subscribe linux-sdk <your-email-address>
127
128Please delete any signature block that you would normally add to the
129bottom of your email - it tends to confuse majordomo.
130
131To send mail to the list, address your mail to
132
133 linux-sdk@linux.quicknet.net
134
135Your message will go out to everyone on the list.

1472.0 Requirements
148
1492.1 Quicknet Card(s)
150
151You will need at least one Internet PhoneJACK or Internet LineJACK
152cards. These are ISA or PCI bus devices that use Plug-n-Play for
153configuration, and use no IRQs. The driver will support up to 16
154cards in any one system, of any mix between the two types.
155
156Note that you will need two cards to do any useful testing alone, since
157you will need a card on both ends of the connection. Of course, if
158you are doing collaborative work, perhaps your friends or coworkers
159have cards too. If not, we'll gladly sell them some!
160
161
1622.2 ISAPNP
163
164Since the Quicknet cards are Plug-n-Play devices, you will need the
165isapnp tools package to configure the cards, or you can use the isapnp
166module to autoconfigure them. The former package probably came with
167your Linux distribution. Documentation on this package is available
168online at:
169
170http://mailer.wiwi.uni-marburg.de/linux/LDP/HOWTO/Plug-and-Play-HOWTO.html
171
172The isapnp autoconfiguration is available on the Quicknet website at:
173
174 http://www.quicknet.net/develop.htm
175
176though it may be in the kernel by the time you read this.
177
178
1793.0 Card Configuration
180
181If you did not get your drivers as part of the linux kernel, do the
182following to install them:
183
184 a. untar the distribution file. We use the following command:
185 tar -xvzf ixj-0.x.x.tgz
186
187This creates a subdirectory holding all the necessary files. Go
