Linux Driver Installation Guide

3rd Draft

  

1. File Content

After you unzip the distribution zip file, you should have:

lib/pctel.o            Installable modem driver
lib/control.a          Relocatable object for Controller module
lib/dsp.a              Relocatable object for DSP module
lib/hal.a              Relocatable object for HAL module
lib/ptserial.a         Relocatable object for PTSERIAL module

src/module/Makefile    Makefile for linking all objects
src/module/ptmodule.c  Source file for linking all objects

2. Logging In

To have all rights to access all folders and do the necessary preparation to install the driver, you must log in as root.  Any other user will not have access to make nodes and make necessary changes.  


3. Make a Node for the modem (only one time)
     
If you don't already have a File Manager window open with path file:/root,
launch it by clicking on the Home icon on the task bar. Click on the "File" menu
on the title bar.  From the drop down list, select Open Terminal to open a working
terminal.  This will open another window.  

In the terminal window, type the following.  Make sure you type everything as it appears below. This will make a node for the modem, give access to everyone and make a link between that mode and /dev/modem. Linux is case sensitive.  This is done only once after a fresh installation of the OS.

mknod  /dev/ttyS15  c  62  79 
chgrp uucp  /dev/ttyS15
chmod 666  /dev/ttyS15
ln -s  /dev/ttyS15  /dev/modem


4. Load the driver

Open a terminal in the same folder you copied the pctel.o file. (see section 2 on how to open a terminal). In this terminal type,  insmod pctel.o. This will start the modem.  This needs to be done every time the system is rebooted.    Next, setup the communication application to verify modem is working. Linux comes with an application that's much like Hyper Terminal.  


5.  Set and report country code.

This driver takes a module parameter to setup the correct country code setting for various country's telephone networks and it also can report back the country code been set..

Here are the two versions for country_code selection and reporting:


VERSION #1:

To set country code:
"country_sel_rep   sel   7" will sets the country code to 7.

To query the driver for the currently set country code:
"country_sel_rep   rep" returns the current country code as the exit code.


VERSION #2:

To set country code: 
"country_sel   7" to set the country code to 7.

To query the driver for the currently set country code:
"country_rep" return the current country code as the exit code.

5. Setting up the Seyon Terminal 

To make sure the modem driver is installed correctly, you can run the application Seyon.  This is an application like Hyper Terminal that will allow you to make calls.  To run Seyon, click on the button with the letter "K" on the task bar.  A menu will pop up.  Click on Internet -> Seyon.  If Terminal Emulator comes up and you get a message "Modem is Available", then the modem driver is installed correctly.  The Seyon Command Center will appear on the bottom.  Click on  Set -> Baud and select 115200 and close.  In the terminal window, try to dial a number.  


6. Set up ISP

Click on the button with the letter "K" on the task bar.  A menu will pop up.  Click on Internet -> KPPP.  If using Red Hat, click on the start button (a foot icon), select KDE Menu -> Internet -> KPPP.  

You will need to unlock by commenting this lock.  To do so, open a terminal, change directory to /etc/ppp.  Use Emacs or any other editor to open the file options.  Find a line with the word lock.  Comment this line out by putting a # in front of it. Close and re open KPPP again.  A window with title "Recent Changes" will come up.  Click on Don't Show This Hint Again box and click on the OK button.  The KPPP Box will come up.  Click on the Setup button.  This will bring up the  KPPP Configuration window.  Click on the Accounts tab.  Click on New.  Another window will come up.  Click on the Dial tab.  Type Connection Name and phone number in the boxes provided. The connection name could be anything like the name of the ISP provider.  Phone number is the number of the ISP you would dial to connect.  Leave Authentication as either PAP or CHAP.  PAP is usually the default.  

Click on the DNS tab.  In the Domain Name section, give any name.  You will need two DNS addresses.  If you don't already know the DNS addresses of your ISP, you can call their tech support and find out.  Here are a couple of DNS addresses.  

If you are using Pacific Bell, you can use the following numbers.
Primary:   206.13.28.12
Secondary: 206.13.31.12
	
If you are using Earth Link, you can use the following numbers.
Primary:   207.217.77.82
Secondary: 207.217.120.82

After you enter the two DNS numbers, click on the OK button and get back to the KPPP window.  Click on Show Log Window check box.  Type Login ID and Password and click on the Connect button. After connection, launch  Netscape by clicking on the Netscape icon on the task bar.  


7. Important

You will have to start up (load) the modem every time the computer is booted. To do this, open a terminal in the same folder you have the file pctel.o is and type insmod pctel.o.
