199 | ------------- Prepare to use the MOXA driver-------------------- | ||
200 | 3.4.1 Create tty device with correct major number | ||
201 | Before using MOXA driver, your system must have the tty devices | ||
202 | which are created with driver's major number. We offer one shell | ||
203 | script "msmknod" to simplify the procedure. | ||
204 | This step is only needed to be executed once. But you still | ||
205 | need to do this procedure when: | ||
206 | a. You change the driver's major number. Please refer the "3.7" | ||
207 | section. | ||
208 | b. Your total installed MOXA boards number is changed. Maybe you | ||
209 | add/delete one MOXA board. | ||
210 | c. You want to change the tty name. This needs to modify the | ||
211 | shell script "msmknod" | ||
212 | |||
213 | The procedure is: | ||
214 | # cd /moxa/mxser/driver | ||
215 | # ./msmknod | ||
216 | |||
217 | This shell script will require the major number for dial-in | ||
218 | device and callout device to create tty device. You also need | ||
219 | to specify the total installed MOXA board number. Default major | ||
220 | numbers for dial-in device and callout device are 30, 35. If | ||
221 | you need to change to other number, please refer section "3.7" | ||
222 | for more detailed procedure. | ||
223 | Msmknod will delete any special files occupying the same device | ||
224 | naming. | ||
225 | |||
226 | 3.4.2 Build the MOXA driver and utilities | ||
227 | Before using the MOXA driver and utilities, you need compile the | ||
228 | all the source code. This step is only need to be executed once. | ||
229 | But you still re-compile the source code if you modify the source | ||
230 | code. For example, if you change the driver's major number (see | ||
231 | "3.7" section), then you need to do this step again. | ||
232 | |||
233 | Find "Makefile" in /moxa/mxser, then run | ||
234 | |||
235 | # make clean; make install | ||
236 | |||
237 | !!!!!!!!!! NOTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | ||

249 | 3.4.3 Load the MOXA driver | ||
152 | 250 | ||
153 | to activate the modular driver. You may run "lsmod" to check | 251 | # modprobe mxser <argument> |
154 | if "mxser.o" is activated. | ||

156 | 2. Create special files by executing "msmknod". | 253 | will activate the module driver. You may run "lsmod" to check |
157 | # cd /moxa/mxser/driver | 254 | if "mxser" is activated. If the MOXA board is ISA board, the |
158 | # ./msmknod | 255 | <argument> is needed. Please refer to section "3.4.5" for more |
256 | information. | ||
257 | |||
258 | |||
259 | ------------- Load MOXA driver on boot -------------------- | ||
260 | 3.4.4 For the above description, you may manually execute | ||
261 | "modprobe mxser" to activate this driver and run | ||
262 | "rmmod mxser" to remove it. | ||
263 | However, it's better to have a boot time configuration to | ||
264 | eliminate manual operation. Boot time configuration can be | ||
265 | achieved by rc file. We offer one "rc.mxser" file to simplify | ||
266 | the procedure under "moxa/mxser/driver". | ||
159 | 267 | ||
160 | Default major numbers for dial-in device and callout device are | 268 | But if you use ISA board, please modify the "modprobe ..." command |
161 | 174, 175. Msmknod will delete any special files occupying the same | 269 | to add the argument (see "3.4.5" section). After modifying the |
162 | device naming. | 270 | rc.mxser, please try to execute "/moxa/mxser/driver/rc.mxser" |
271 | manually to make sure the modification is ok. If any error | ||
272 | encountered, please try to modify again. If the modification is | ||
273 | completed, follow the below step. | ||
163 | 274 | ||
164 | 3. Up to now, you may manually execute "insmod mxser" to activate | 275 | Run following command for setting rc files. |
165 | this driver and run "rmmod mxser" to remove it. However, it's | ||
166 | better to have a boot time configuration to eliminate manual | ||
167 | operation. | ||
168 | Boot time configuration can be achieved by rc file. Run following | ||
169 | command for setting rc files. | ||
170 | 276 | ||
171 | # cd /moxa/mxser/driver | 277 | # cd /moxa/mxser/driver |
172 | # cp ./rc.mxser /etc/rc.d | 278 | # cp ./rc.mxser /etc/rc.d |
173 | # cd /etc/rc.d | 279 | # cd /etc/rc.d |
174 | 280 | ||
175 | You may have to modify part of the content in rc.mxser to specify | 281 | Check "rc.serial" is existed or not. If "rc.serial" doesn't exist, |
176 | parameters for ISA board. Please refer to rc.mxser for more detail. | 282 | create it by vi, run "chmod 755 rc.serial" to change the permission. |
177 | Find "rc.serial". If "rc.serial" doesn't exist, create it by vi. | 283 | Add "/etc/rc.d/rc.mxser" in last line, |
178 | Add "rc.mxser" in last line. Next, open rc.local by vi | ||
179 | and append following content. | ||
180 | 284 | ||
181 | if [ -f /etc/rc.d/rc.serial ]; then | 285 | Reboot and check if moxa.o activated by "lsmod" command. |
