DIGICTL(8)		FreeBSD	System Manager's Manual		    DIGICTL(8)

NAME
     digictl --	control	Digiboard devices

SYNOPSIS
     digictl -a	disable	| enable | query device	...
     digictl [-d debug]	[-ir] ctrl-device ...

DESCRIPTION
     The digictl utility provides control of the Digiboard installed with the
     given ctrl-device name and	provides control of individual digiboard
     devices.  A digiboard ctrl-device is usually of the form /dev/digiN.ctl
     where N is	the card number	and starts at ``0'' for	the first attached
     card.  A digiboard	device is usually of the form /dev/cua[il]DN.P or
     /dev/tty[il]DN.P where N is the card number and P is the port number.

     The following flags are recognized:

     -a	disable	| enable | query
		 Disable, enable or query the ALTPIN settings for the given
		 port(s).

		 When ALTPIN is	enabled, the CD	and DSR	lines are logically
		 reversed.  This is useful when	wiring serial ports to an 8
		 way RJ45 cable	(full 10 way RJ45 cables are quite rare).

		 A single ALTPIN setting applies to both of the	callout	and
		 callin	devices.

     -d	debug	 If the	driver has been	compiled with DEBUG defined, the fol-
		 lowing	bits from the debug variable are used to enable	diag-
		 nostics in the	digiboard driver:

		 1 (INIT)      Diagnostics during card attach, detach and ini-
			       tialization.

		 2 (OPEN)      Diagnostics when	opening	a port.

		 4 (CLOSE)     Diagnostics when	closing	a port.

		 8 (SET)       Diagnostics when	setting	tty device flags.

		 16 (INT)      Diagnostics when	processing card	events.

		 32 (READ)     Reports return values from port reads.

		 64 (WRITE)    Reports return values from port writes.

		 128 (RX)      Reports receive queue flow control.

		 256 (TX)      Reports transmit	queue flow control.

		 512 (IRQ)     Diagnostics during interrupts (enable these
			       with care).

		 1024 (MODEM)  Diagnostics when	setting	modem status flags.

		 2048 (RI)     Reports when a RING is received.

     -i		 Display the card identification string	and type ID.

     -r		 Reinitialize the card.	 For boards with external port mod-
		 ules, it is possible to add or	remove modules and dynamically
		 reprobe the number of ports using this	switch.	 All ports on
		 the card must be closed in order to reinitialize the card.

		 It is preferable to reinitialize the card rather than reload
		 the entire digi module	as reinitialization only affects the
		 specified board rather	than affecting all attached boards.

BUGS
     It	should be possible to reinitialize a board without closing all of the
     existing ports.

HISTORY
     The digictl utility first appeared	in FreeBSD 5.0.

FreeBSD	11.1			 June 20, 2001			  FreeBSD 11.1
