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.

All the parameters described in the "Placement of peripheral devices on PCI bus" chapter, such as "bus", "device", "function", "irq", "irq_bus" are applicable for PBXDA-xx controller.

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.

For example:

 

Configuration parameters

The PBXDA-xx serial lines adapter emulation has the following configuration parameters:

port

Parameter
