NAME
       avmcapictrl - Add, reset or remove active AVM cards and load firmware

SYNOPSIS
       avmcapictrl add   
       avmcapictrl load  [ [
	   [P2P | : [:]]]]
       avmcapictrl reset [contrnr]
       avmcapictrl remove [contrnr]

       avmcapictrl addcard    [  [  ]
       ]

DESCRIPTION
       avmcapictrl is used to register active AVM ISA cards kernelcapi system
       and  therewith  to  the	isdn  system.  You need it also to upload the
       firmware to any active AVM card. If an error occure please also	check
       the kernel error messages by using the command dmesg(8).


COMMANDS
       add   
	    is	used  to  add  a  ISA card to the kernel-capi2.0 system.  The
	    portbase can have the values 0x150, 0x250, 0x300  and  0x340  for
	    the	 B1  ISA cards, look at the jumper on the card.	 For a T1-ISA
	    (HEMA) card you can select an wide range of ports.
	    irq can be selected from the following values:
	    3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 15.
	    type can be B1 or T1.


       load  [ [
	    [P2P | :  [:]]]]  is  used	to  load  the
	    firmware  to a card bootcode is a t4-file. The actual versions of
	    the t4-files for the different d-channel protocols can  be	found
	    at ftp://ftp.avm.de/cardware/b1/linux/firmware.
	    You	 need  different  t4-files for different d channel protocols:
	    b1-1tr6.t4 for 1TR6, b1.t4 for DSS1 and
	    b1-usa.t4 for 5ESS and NI1 (DSS1 is also supported).
	    For M1/M2 PCMCIA cards you need m1-s10.t4 or  m1-s4.t4  depending
	    on the handy type used.
	    contrnr is the number of the controller (card) starting from 1.
	    protocol can be DSS1, CT1, VN3, AUSTEL, 5ESS or NI1.
	    P2P point to point
	    DN1:SPID1 DN2:SPID2 is for the american protocols 5ESS and NI1.


       reset [contrnr]
	    is	used  to  reset	 a card if loading has failed.	This function
	    only make sence if card is not successfully loaded.
	    contrnr is the number of the controller (card) starting from 1.


       remove [contrnr]
	    is used to remove a card previous  added.  You  can	 also  remove
	    automatic added cards (for example a B1-PCI card).
	    contrnr is the number of the controller (card) starting from 1.


       trace [contrnr] [off|short|on|full|shortnodata|nodata]
	    is used to trace CAPI2.0 messages. The trace will be done as ker-
	    nel messages, see dmesg(8).
	    contrnr is the number of the controller (card) starting from 1.
	    off switch traceing off
	    short switch one line per CAPI2.0 message tracing on
	    on | full switch on full decode tracing
	    shortnodata switch on line per CAPI2.0 message  tracing  on,  but
	    exclude DATA_B3_IND and DATA_B3_REQ messages.
	    on	| full switch on full decode tracing, but exclude DATA_B3_IND
	    and DATA_B3_REQ messages.


       addcard    [  [  ] ]
	    is used to add a card, this is more generic than add.
	    driver currently b1isa or t1isa
	    portbase can have the values 0x150, 0x250, 0x300  and  0x340  for
	    the	 b1isa	driver,	 look  at  the jumper on the card.  For t1isa
	    driver you can select an wide range of ports.
	    irq can be selected from the following values: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,  9,
	    10, 11, 12 and 15.
	    membase memory address if needed by driver
	    cardnr only usefull with driver t1isa
