NAME

sbni - Granch SBNI12 leased line modem driver

SYNOPSIS

device sbni

DESCRIPTION

The sbni driver provides support for leased line modems of
following models:
+o SBNI12-02, SBNI12D-02
+o SBNI12-04, SBNI12D-04
+o SBNI12-05, SBNI12D-05, ISA and PCI
+o SBNI12-10, SBNI12D-10, ISA and PCI
and a kit for data link over a voice band:
+o SBNI12-11, SBNI12D-11, ISA and PCI.
In addition to the standard port and IRQ specifications, the
sbni driver
also supports a number of flags which can set baud rate, re
ceive level,
and low three bytes of Ethernet MAC-address (high three are
always
00:ff:01), because Granch modems are presented to the system
as Ethernetlike network cards.
The high byte of the flags is a bit field, it is used to
specify SBNI
adapter receive level/baud rate:

Bits 0-3: receive level (0x00..0x0f)
Bits 4-5: baud rate number:

00 - 0 baud rate (2Mb in fast mode/500kb in
slow)
01 - 1 baud rate (1Mb/250kb)
10 - 2 baud rate (500kb/125kb)
11 - 3 baud rate (250kb/62.5kb)
Bit 6: use fixed receive level

if bit 6 is set then receive level will be
set according
to bits 0-3 value, otherwise receive level
will be
autodetected
Bit 7: use fixed baud rate

if bit 7 is set then baud rate will be set
according to
bits 4-5 value, otherwise baud rate is set
to 2Mb
