Adapter Configuration in Linux
After the kernel modules (drivers) are assembled and installed, a startup module
launch and channel configuration command file will also be installed. Because different
Linux clones use a distinct startup procedure, for some systems this command file has to
be installed manually (also, modification of the command file itself may be required).
When prepared command file is used, to change the channel operation parameters the
/etc/cronyx.conf file has to be edited and the modules – restarted.
To set up the Tau-PCI/32 adapter modes, the sconfig utility (which is used for other
Cronyx adapters) is used in OS Linux. It is recommended to create a command file,
which sets the operation modes for the channels during the OS startup by using the
examples supplied in the distribution kit. To get brief help about the sconfig utility, you
can run the following command
sconfig help
A full description of the sconfig utility is supplied as part of the software
deliverables, see «
man sconfig
».
To understand the syntax of the /etc/cronyx.conf configuration file, you should also
refer to the description of the sconfig utility, which is largely similar to the syntax of this
utility’s parameters.
Adapter Configuration in OS FreeBSD
To set up the Tau-PCI/32 adapter modes, the sconfig utility, which is used for other
Cronyx adapters, is used in OS FreeBSD.
Typically, the modes are set during the operating system startup, e.g., from the /etc/rc
file, and remain the same in the future. To get brief help about the sconfig utility, you can
run the following command
sconfig help
A full description of the sconfig utility is supplied as part of the software
deliverables, see «
