|  | 2 | for many OEM cards using this chips. | 
|  | 3 | Additionally the driver has a special feature which makes it possible | 
|  | 4 | to read the echo-channel of the isdn bus. So all frames in both directions | 
|  | 5 | may be logged. | 
|  | 6 | When the echo logging feature is used the number of available B-channels | 
|  | 7 | for a HFC-PCI card is reduced to 1. Of course this is only relevant to | 
|  | 8 | the card, not to the isdn line. | 
|  | 9 | To activate the echo mode the following ioctls must be entered: | 
|  | 10 |  | 
|  | 11 | hisaxctrl <driver/cardname> 10 1 | 
|  | 12 |  | 
|  | 13 | This reduces the available channels to 1. There must not be open connections | 
|  | 14 | through this card when entering the command. | 
|  | 15 | And then: | 
|  | 16 |  | 
|  | 17 | hisaxctrl <driver/cardname> 12 1 | 
|  | 18 |  | 
|  | 19 | This enables the echo mode. If Hex logging is activated the isdnctrlx | 
|  | 20 | devices show a output with a line beginning of HEX: for the providers | 
|  | 21 | exchange and ECHO: for isdn devices sending to the provider. | 
|  | 22 |  | 
|  | 23 | If more than one HFC-PCI cards are installed, a specific card may be selected | 
|  | 24 | at the hisax module load command line. Supply the load command with the desired | 
|  | 25 | IO-address of the desired card. | 
|  | 26 | Example: | 
|  | 27 | There tree cards installed in your machine at IO-base addresses 0xd000, 0xd400 | 
|  | 28 | and 0xdc00 | 
|  | 29 | If you want to use the card at 0xd400 standalone you should supply the insmod | 
|  | 30 | or depmod with type=35 io=0xd400. | 
|  | 31 | If you want to use all three cards, but the order needs to be at 0xdc00,0xd400, | 
|  | 32 | 0xd000 you may give the parameters type=35,35,35 io=0xdc00,0xd400,0xd00 | 
|  | 33 | Then the desired card will be the initialised in the desired order. | 
|  | 34 | If the io parameter is used the io addresses of all used cards should be | 
|  | 35 | supplied else the parameter is assumed 0 and a auto search for a free card is | 
|  | 36 | invoked which may not give the wanted result. |
