18 This is the README file for the Interphase PCI ATM (i)Chip IA Linux driver
23     - A single VPI (VPI value of 0) is supported.
24     - Supports 4K VCs for the server board (with 512K control memory) and 1K
26     - UBR, ABR and CBR service categories are supported.
27     - Only AAL5 is supported.
28     - Supports setting of PCR on the VCs.
29     - Multiple adapters in a system are supported.
30     - All variants of Interphase ATM PCI (i)Chip adapter cards are supported,
35     - Only x86 platforms are supported.
36     - SMP is supported.
44 ------------
46 1. Installing the adapters in the system
48    To install the ATM adapters in the system, follow the steps below.
51        b. Shut down the system and power off the system.
52        c. Install one or more ATM adapters in the system.
53        d. Connect each adapter to a port on an ATM switch. The green 'Link'
54 	  LED on the front panel of the adapter will be on if the adapter is
55 	  connected to the switch properly when the system is powered up.
56        e. Power on and boot the system.
72        b. Change directory to /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/atm.
74 	  The yellow 'status' LED on the front panel of the adapter will blink
75 	  while the driver is loaded in the system.
87 	  You can also check the system log file /var/log/messages for messages
93     The (i)Chip boards have 3 different packet RAM size variants: 128K, 512K and
114 	    - RX_CNT = number of receive buffers in the range (1-128)
115 	    - RX_SIZE = size of receive buffers in the range (48-64K)
116 	    - TX_CNT = number of transmit buffers in the range (1-128)
117 	    - TX_SIZE = size of transmit buffers in the range (48-64K)
124 5.2 Turn on ia debug trace
130     The debug trace can be turn on through the insmod command line option, for
131     example, "insmod iphase.o IADebugFlag=0xffffffff" can turn on all the debug
136    For the PVC setup, the test machines can either be connected back-to-back or
144 	 ttcp_atm -r -a -s 0.100
148 	 ttcp_atm -t -a -s 0.100 -n 10000
150       Run "ttcp_atm -h" to display more options of the ttcp_atm tool.
155 	 -Pabr:max_pcr=<xxx>
159 	     xxx = the maximum peak cell rate, from 170 - 353207.
161       This option must be set on both the machines.
167 	 -Pcbr:max_pcr=<xxx>
171 	     xxx = the maximum peak cell rate, from 170 - 353207.
173       This option may only be set on the transmit machine.
