Installation and Setup This section discusses the following topics: • Audience • Product overview. • Installing the hardware. • Configuring the network settings on the ATS-LNX. • Setting up remote management.
Initial Hardware Installation to Configure the ATS-LNX Initial Hardware Installation to Configure the ATSLNX 1. Place the DeviceMaster ATS-LNX on a stable surface or attach it to a suitable surface using the mounting brackets shipped with the device. 2. Verify that the compact flash is fully inserted. When installed correctly, the compact flash is recessed into the ATS-LNX and the eject button protrudes about 1/4 inch.
Connecting Optional Devices to the ATS-LNX • Connecting Optional Devices to the ATSLNX eth1: 192.168.250.251 (port labeled Ethernet #1) Connect the devices appropriate for how you plan to use the ATS-LNX: 1. To dial-in and manage the ATS-LNX through a modem, connect an external modem to the AUX A connector of the ATS-LNX. If you want to connect a serial device (other than a modem) to this port, see Using the AUX A Port as a Standard tty Port on Page 22 to change the default port set up. 2.
Webmin 6. Change the default system password. dm-ats:~# passwd Enter new UNIX password: [enter new_password] Retype new UNIX password: [retype new_password] passwd: password updated successfully dm-ats:~# 7. Run the ./newsshkeys.sh shell script in the user root home directory, which automatically generates a new SSH key. Note: All ATS-LNX units are shipped with the same default SSH key. If you do not change the key, somebody else will be able to decrypt your SSH traffic. 8. Run the ./netconfig.
Webmin 3. Under the Webmin tab, select Webmin Users. 4. In the left column of the user list, select root. 5. Enter a new password in the Password field and select the Save button at bottom of page. Note: If you want to remove Webmin you can use the shell script uninstall-webmin.sh found in the user root home directory. When removing Webmin (or other packages) you can ignore warnings about non-empty directories.
Hints and Tips This section discusses the following topics: • Telnet and ftp (servers and clients) • Parallel port information • Installing and adding packages • Default device names Telnet and FTP The ATS-LNX is shipped with telnet and ftp client and server packages installed. However, the telnet and ftp servers and the ftp client have been disabled since the ssh package provides the same functionality in a much more secure manner. Note: The ftp client is enabled by default.
Windows SSH Client Windows SSH Client You can use PuTTY as a Windows ssh or telnet client, which can be found at: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ The http://linux.rice.edu/help/tips-ssh.html page also has links to various SSH clients. Installing and Adding Packages To install packages from the main Debian archive at ftp://ftp.debian.org: 1. Verify that the network is configured (including DNS server) so that you have http access to the server ftp.debian.
PC104 RocketPort Option The PC104 RocketPort serial card is optional in the DeviceMaster ATS-LNX. Note: This option can only be installed by Comtrol. This section discusses the following topics: • Configuring the serial ports for your serial devices. • Connecting your serial devices to the ATS-LNX. • RocketPort quad- or octacable: - • Connector pinouts Building loopback plugs Building cables (null-modem and straight-through). Testing PC104 serial ports.
Connecting Serial Devices config.flags &= ~ROCKET_MODE_MASK; config.flags |= ROCKET_MODE_RS485; ioctl(fd, RCKP_SET_CONFIG, &config); } For a more detailed example, see the setrocket source code available in the Linux driver at ftp://ftp.comtrol.com/RPort/Drivers/PC104/Linux. Connecting Serial Devices There is a remote possibility that connecting a peripheral using the wrong configuration (RS-232 device connected to a RS-422 configured port) could damage the peripheral.

PCMCIA Network Cards The ATS-LNX includes drivers for a variety of ethernet cards, and a driver for modem and serial port cards. All modems should work with the supplied driver. For overall PCMCIA information, refer to: http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/. Network Card Installation and Configuration 1. Configure IP address information as describe below. 2. For 802.11 wireless cards, configure ESSID and Key as described below. 3. Insert PCMCIA network card. 4. Examine /var/log/daemon.
IP Configuration (802.11 and Ethernet) The /etc/pcmcia/network.opts file looks something like this: # Network adapter configuration # # The address format is "scheme,socket,instance,hwaddr". # # the "network address" here is NOT the same as the IP address. # See the Networking HOWTO. In short, the network address is the IP # address masked by the netmask. # case "$ADDRESS" in *,*,*,*) logger -p daemon.info "network.
IP Configuration (802.11 and Ethernet) start_fn () { return; } # Extra stuff to do before shutting down the interface stop_fn () { return; } # Card eject policy options NO_CHECK=n NO_FUSER=n ;; esac If no configuration is found in /etc/pcmicia/network.opts, the system will try to use configuration information found in /etc/network/interfaces. This method has not proved successful with wireless cards (though it seems to work with normal Ethernet cards). If you put IP configuration in /etc/pcmcia/network.
AUX A Port This section discusses the following topics: • How to change the default function of the AUX A port from the default configuration to a standard RS-232 serial port. • The default modem initialization string. By default, AUX A (ttyS1) is configured for use with a modem. Using the AUX A Port as a Standard tty Port To disable the dial-in support on the AUX port, use a # character to comment out the ttyS1 line in the /etc/inittab file.
CONSOLE Port This section contains information about how to use the CONSOLE port. In addition, this section discusses how to change the default configuration and use it as a standard RS-232 serial port. By default, the CONSOLE (ttyS0) port is configured for serial console administration. Using the CONSOLE Port as a Standard TTY Port To disable the login prompt on the CONSOLE port, comment out the ttyS0 line in the /etc/inittab file.
Troubleshooting and Technical Support This section contains troubleshooting information for your Comtrol device.

Notices • Xircom CBE-10/100 CardBus The following vendors have assisted in the development of the Linux PCMCIA driver package by contributing hardware and/or technical documentation about their products. It could be inferred that since these vendors support Linux development and have provided technical help, that their cards are likely to be better supported under Linux.
Important Safety Information Important Safety Information To avoid contact with electrical current: • • • Never install electrical wiring Warning during an electrical storm. Never install the power plug in wet locations. Use a screwdriver and other tools with insulated handles. Appendix B.
Appendix C. lcom(1) Name lcom(1) - multi-port serial I/O test program. Synopsis lcom [options] [dev [...]] Description lcom is a program that can open multiple serial ports or TCP/IP connections and exercise them in different ways. lcom uses ncurses to provide a text-mode windowed user interface. Each open channel (tty device or TCP/IP connection is displayed in its own window.
lcom(1) -q -v -m mode -f flow -w csize -p parity -b baud -d device Command Line Examples Enable quiet operation. Serial data will not be displayed, though data counters and throughput values will. Depending on the terminal connection being used, displaying data at high baud rates may not be practical or may use up an undesirable amount of CPU time. Verify received data against the transmitted data against the expected test pattern. Specifies the channel mode.
lcom(1) This example runs a stream of ASCII data with software flow control. You must have a loopback plug installed on the port for this test to pass. lcom -m tput -f sw /dev/ttyR0 Channel Window Below is a typical lcom screenshot showing two open channels: +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |S1 [term] CD DTR DSR RI RTS CTS 163/163 0.0/0.
lcom(1) Modem Shows the state of the six modem control lines [only shown for tty devices]. Uppercase means the signal is active, lowercase means inactive. TxCnt The total number of bytes transmitted since the port was opened or restarted. RxCnt The total number of bytes received since the port was opened or restarted. TxThr The transmit throughput in bytes/second. Updated once every 5 seconds. RxThr The receive throughput in bytes/second. Updated once every 5 seconds.
lcom(1) S D R h i I q Q e x X Size window Resizes the active window using the cursor keys. Toggles DTR Toggles RTS Shows help screen Displays the keyboard->command mapping. The information displayed is authoritative. In case of disagreement between the help display and this man page, don't believe the man page. Reinitialize channel Stops and re-initializes the test running in the active window (clears error, zeros counters and throughput numbers).
Appendix D. Changing the WatchDog Timer The hardware watch-dog timer is not supported by the installed Linux kernel. However, it may be accessed directly by user applications if desired. The Watch-Dog Timer is a device used to ensure that standalone systems can reset themselves and recover from catastrophic conditions that cause the CPU to hang or crash. The Watch-Dog Timer is a countdown timer that will reset the CPU when it times out. The Watch-Dog Timer is enabled by reading port 443H.
Changing the WatchDog Timer The Watch-Dog Timer is activated by reading the value at address 443H. To ensure that a reset condition does not occur, the timer must be periodically reset to restart the countdown at the beginning of the defined interval before the time out period has expired. This is achieved by first disabling the timer by reading address 843H and then re-enabling it by reading the value at 443H before the timer reaches zero. Refer to the example of the assembly program below.
Appendix E. Default System Values This subsection contains the following information: • Device names • System I/O address map • First MB memory map Default Device Names Use the following table if you need the default device names.
