INSTALLATION PREREQUISITES

1. This guide assumes that you have already installed the
Windows NT operating system (OS) and that you understand
OS operation. This product was developed and tested
using Windows NT Release 3.51, Windows NT Release 4.0,
BackOffice 4.0, Terminal Server 4.0, and Citrix WinFrame
Release 1.7.

These instructions are based on Windows NT Release 4.0.
If you are using another version, adapt the instructions
as needed.

2. You must have at least one RocketPort or RocketModem
adapter installed before installing this driver. See the
hardware documentation for more information.

3. If you are using NT 3.51 or an early version of NT 4.0
with no service packs applied, and using the
RocketPort/RocketModem adapter to provide dial-in (RAS)
access to the NT server, verify that NetBEUI is installed
before installing RAS.

Under NT 4.0, RAS will not work properly unless you have
at least Service Pack 3 applied. For more information
about service packs and updates, contact Microsoft.

4. If you are installing the RocketPort/RocketModem in a
server without an existing network adapter (NIC), you
must install network services and the Microsoft Loopback
Adapter software first. See the Microsoft documentation
for more information.

5. Finally, if you are upgrading from an earlier version of
the RocketPort/RocketModem device driver software, you
must remove the old software before installing this new

-------------------------
OVERVIEW

To use an ISA-bus RocketPort or RocketModem board in an EISA
system, you may need to load the RocketPort/Modem configuration files
into your EISA configuration setup.

The following information describes these configuration files
and how to use them.

-------------------------
AUDIENCE

This file is for people who are installing Comtrol hardware
on EISA-bus systems only. It is not relevant to PCI or ISA-only
systems.

-------------------------
!RKT0101.CFG INFORMATION

The !RKT0101.CFG file is used to configure the *FIRST* RocketPort
/RocketModem controller installed in a system. It reserves the
required I/O address space for the first controller. It also
reserves a minimum amount of I/O space, above 400H, needed for
the future installation of additional RocketPort controllers.

See the RocketPort/ISA Hardware Reference Card or the RocketModem
Installation and Configuration Guide for more information on
setting the DIP switch for addressing information.

When !RKT0101.CFG is executed, it defaults to a base I/O address
of 180 hex. This is the factory default DIP switch setting for
the RocketPort ISA series.

When you install a RocketPort/RocketModem board, make note of the
starting I/O address, as you will need this information when
loading the device driver. If you change this from the default
value of 180h, you will need to consult your hardware reference
to determine the necessary changes to the DIP switches on the
first RocketPort ISA controller.

!RKT0101.CFG does not reserve an interrupt, but defaults to a
condition where the interrupt is disabled. Depending on the
operating system that you are using, you may need to configure
an interrupt manually in the system configuration. See the Device
Driver Installation instructions for your operating system to
determine whether an IRQ is required. In some operating systems,
you may also need an IRQ to run at baud rates above 230 Kbps.

Users of this software must accept this disclaimer of warranty: "This
software is supplied AS IS. Mark Becker disclaims all warranties, expressed
or implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of merchantability
and of fitness for any purpose. Mark Becker assumes no liability for
damages, direct or consequential, which may result from the use of this
software."
Purpose
-------

Write a disk image file to a floppy disk.
Equipment/Software Requirements
-------------------------------

* PC/XT/AT or 100% compatible with at least 256K of RAM and a floppy disk
drive.

* MS-DOS version 3.21 or greater.

* A formatted diskette.

This program uses well-documented generic low-level DOS and BIOS functions.
It should run on nearly every PC in existance. PS/2's should be able to run
RaWrite but this has not been tested.

CAVEAT
------

This program will write ANY disk file to a floppy, overwriting any previous
information that may have been present. If you wish to re-use a diskette
that has been written to by RaWrite then that diskette will probably need to
be reformatted; all MS-DOS specific information will have been erased.
Usage
-----

C> RAWRITE

And follow the prompts. All arguments are case-insensitive.

If the source and destination drives are the same, RaWrite will ask the user
to swap diskettes as required. Rawrite allocates a large buffer in RAM to
reduce the number of disk swaps.

RaWrite may be aborted at any time by typing ^C or CTRL-Break.

RocketPort and RocketModem
Driver Installation for Linux

Installation Procedure
Use this procedure to install the driver.
1. If you have not done so already, install the hardware using the Hardware
Installation documentation.
2. If necessary, download the current device driver, copy and extract the files to
the /usr/src directory on the Linux system. For example:
Change to the /usr/src directory and use the untar command.
cd /usr/src
tar xzvf filename.tar.gz
A subdirectory of /usr/src now exists called comtrol. This contains the
RocketPort/RocketModem driver and associated files.
3. Recompile the RocketPort/RocketModem driver.
Note: This is not always necessary, depending on the version of your kernel,
but it is safe to do.
make clean
make
4. Install the RocketPort/RocketModem driver as root:
make install
5. If you are using more than one ISA RocketPort/RocketModem board, or have
installed an ISA RocketPort or RocketModem board at a non-standard
address, you will need to set up the file /etc/rocketport.conf. The /usr/src/comtrol
directory contains a sample rocketport.conf file. Copy it to the /etc directory and
edit it according to the comments contained in the file.
Note: This step is NOT necessary, if you are using only PCI RocketPort or
RocketModem boards.
6. Optionally, edit your /etc/rc.d/rc.S file (or other appropriate boot-up script) so
that the rc.rocket script runs automatically each time your system boots. This
is done for you automatically if you are using a system with System V init files,
such as is used in the RedHat or Debian releases.
7. Either reboot to load the driver into the currently running system, or
manually load the driver running the rc.rocket script with the start argument.
For example:
/rc.rocket start
8. Configure your applications and/or your getty scripts as appropriate for your
application.
Note: The RocketModem looks to Linux like a RocketPort card with modems
attached; you can refer to the RocketModem AT command set on the
Comtrol CD or ftp/web sites.
9. For PCI-ONLY installation:
Edit the rocketport.conf script to remove or comment out the boardx=0xxx"
statement.
10. Optionally, edit your /etc/rc.d/rc.S† file so that the rc.rocket script runs
automatically each time the system boots. For example:
/bin/sh /etc/rc.d/rc.rocket
†This file may have a different file name, depending upon the Linux
distribution type.
Note: The rc.rocket script requires that setrocket be installed in the /bin
directory. The setrocket program creates the ttyRx devices (where x is a
number designating the port). The setrocket program is structured much
like the familiar setserial program, and performs a similar function.

RocketPort and RocketPort RA Series
Setting the DIP Switch Reference

Setting the DIP Switch
To prepare your controller for installation, you may
need to set the I/O address DIP switch. The default I/O
address range is 180 through 1C3.
For the first controller, select a 68-byte I/O address
range. For subsequent controllers, select a 64-byte
range.
RocketPort controllers use I/O address ranges at 400
hexadecimal (hex) intervals above the I/O range. Most
peripherals use I/O address ranges between 0 and 3FF
hex. If you have peripherals installed above 400h, you
may experience an I/O conflict. The first controller
determines the settings for additional controllers.
If connecting a system with an interface box:
a. Attach the male end of the RocketPort or
RocketPort RA cable to the controller and the
female end to the connector on the interface
box labeled Host.
Note: If you have a RocketPort 32 or RocketPort RA32,
the connector labelled J1 corresponds to ports 0
through 15 on the interface box and the connector
labeled J2 (closest to the bus) corresponds to ports
16 through 31.
b. Connect the peripherals to the interface box.
If connecting a system with an Octacable:
a. Attach the male end of the Octacable to the
controller.
b. Connect the Octacable to the peripherals.
Note: If you need pinout information, see the Hardware
Reference Card that came with your controller.

Installing the Controller
After you set the I/O DIP switch, you are ready to
install the controller. Use the following steps to install
the controller:
1. Turn the power switch for the system unit to the
OFF position.
2. Remove the system unit cover.
3. Select a slot to install the controller.
4. Remove the expansion slot cover.
5. Insert the controller in the expansion slot, make
sure that it is properly seated.
6. Attach the controller to the chassis with the
expansion slot screw.
7. Replace the cover on the system unit.

Hardware Installation Card

Installing the RocketModem
This RocketModem card has a DIP switch that is used to set
the I/O address. The factory default value is 180
(hexadecimal).
You will need to change the DIP switch setting on the card,
if:
• Existing peripherals in the system overlap or use the
default I/O value (180h).
• You are installing more than one RocketModem ISA.
You must change the DIP switch setting on the second
and subsequent cards.
To install a single RocketModem, follow these steps:
Note: For best results, we recommend installing
RocketModem cards one at a time to simplify the
configuration process.
1. Determine if you need to change the DIP switches from
the default value of 180h. To reset the DIP switch, see
the Setting I/O Address DIP Switches section.

Setting I/O Address DIP Switches
This RocketModem (and the ISA-bus RocketPort series)
use I/O address ranges at 40h (hex) intervals above the
base I/O range. If you are mixing RocketModem and
RocketPort ISA cards, you treat the cards the same for the
purpose of setting the I/O switch.
The first card requires a 68-byte I/O address range.
Subsequent cards use a 64-byte range. Most peripherals
use I/O address ranges between 0 and 3FF hex. If you have
peripherals installed above 400h, you may experience an
I/O conflict and will need to reset the DIP to an available
address for your system.
The first card installed determines the switch settings for
subsequent cards.

1. If you are installing one RocketModem, set the DIP
switch as shown in this table.
2. If you are installing two RocketModem cards, follow
Step 1 for the first card, then set the DIP switches on
the second card to be the same as the switches on the
first card, except that switch 5 is off.
3. If you are installing three RocketModem cards,
follow Steps 1 and 2 for the first and second card,
then set the DIP switches on the third card to be the
same as the switches on the first card, except that
switch 6 is off.
4. If you are installing four RocketModem cards,

Novell Driver Assembly
History
20 Mar 2000 - 5.05
Updated AIORCKT.DOC

11 Feb 00 - V5.04
Update the driver to support the PCI RocketModem boards. Also added support for PCI detection by making the driver NBI aware. The FINDRCKT DOS utility has been removed and its functionality has been moved inside the driver and can be used by entering 'LOAD AIORCKT FINDPCI'. With The PCI detection now in the driver the method of loading the driver for a PCI board has been changed to 'LOAD AIORCKT PCI'. A simple terminal utility, 'RCKTTERM.NLM', has been added. It provides a way of selecting a board and a port or ports for LOOPBACK testing or a method of talking directly to a modem.
-WRD

11 Feb 99 - V5.03
Modify FINDRCKT to identify RP 4RJ, fix 32port bug.
-FABA

20 May 98 - V5.02
Recompile AIORCKT using SDK 2.0c for 3.12 compatibility. Add 56K V.90 RocketModem definitions.
Tinker with AcquirePort to reject HYPERBAUD attempts on non-HYPERBAUD (i.e., non-921) boards.
-FABA

14 Apr 98 - V5.01
NWCCON fails to complete initialization of ports associated with modems defined as 'United Kingdom' or 'United States'. Altered modem descriptions to 'UK' and 'USA'.
-FABA

1 Apr 98 - V5.00
Added international RocketModem support. Added error and info code numbers.
-FABA

9/30/97 - V4.02
This release adds support for the Ring Indicator status bit on the RocketPort Plus (921) board. It also fixes a problem with NOVELLs 'GetPortsRollCall'. It returned 0 for the 'external status' and 'changed external status' fields.
-WRD

8/13/97 - V4.01
This release is essentially the same as V4.00. It was necessary to change the revision because of the way the files are grouped when the driver is shipped. The problem was in INETCFG. It was impossible to select the HYPERBAUD option for the 921 board. This required changes to the AIORCKT.ADI file. To keep revisions straight it became necessary to rev the driver. This driver did ship on the RocketModem diskette (6550).
