PBXDA-xx series PCI serial adapters
Table of Contents
General description
CHARON-AXP supports emulation of PBXDA-xx family PCI serial adapter based on DIGI AccelePort serial adapters via CHARON PCI Pass Through mode (using a specific CHARON PCI Pass Through driver) and by direct virtualization.
CHARON PCI Pass Through mode enables connection between the virtual PBXDA-xx PCI serial adapter and the physical DIGI AccelePort PCI serial adapter plugged into a hosting server PCI bus whether as the direct virtualization may address the host serial port or TCP/IP port.
Virtual PBXDA-xx PCI serial adapter
Loading virtual PBXDA-xx serial lines adapter
Syntax for loading PBXDA (AccelePort 2r 920) serial lines adapter:
load PBXDA/DIGI <name>
Syntax for loading PBXDA_BA (AccelePort 4r 920) serial lines adapter:
load PBXDA_BA/DIGI <name>
Syntax for loading PBXDA_BB (AccelePort 8r 920) serial lines adapter:
load PBXDA_BB/DIGI <name>
Syntax for loading PBXDA_AC (AccelePort Xem) serial lines adapter:
load PBXDA_AC/DIGI <name>
Example:
load PBXDA/DIGI TXA
The adapter instance name ("TXA" in the example above) is used then for parametrization, for example:
set TXA line[2]="COM1:"
The numbers in the square brackets represent line number on the virtual PBXDA-xx adapter starting from 0.
Controller type | Maximum number of lines |
|---|---|
PBXDA | 2 |
PBXDA_BA | 4 |
PBXDA_BB | 8 |
PBXDA_AC | 16 |
DIGI drivers for OpenVMS and Tru64 are sensitive to PBXDA-xx location on PCI, therefore it is recommended to fix PBXDA-xx location with explicit configuration.
Example:
load PBXDA TXA bus=pci_1 device=4 function=0
