A101/102/104c Device Driver

The A101c, A102c and A104c cards are affordable 1-, 2- and 4-span E1/T1/J1 cards manufactured by Sangoma.

The A100C driver provides SS7, ISDN and voice channel support for these cards. The driver provides the following interfaces:

Local Management Interface (LMI)

Signalling Data Link Interface (SDLI)

Signalling Data Terminal Interface (SDTI)

Signalling Link Interface (SLI)

Data Link Provider Interface (DLPI)

Multiplex Interface (MXI)

Channel Interface (CHI)

For more information on card specifications see our hardware page for the card here.

Work on this driver was started in October 2004.

The A100C driver is in the Codingstage.

Sangoma has graciously provided an A101c card for testing of the software driver.

This component depends upon the following interfaces:

Local Management Interface (LMI)

Signalling Data Link Interface (SDLI)

Signalling Data Terminal Interface (SDTI)

Signalling Link Interface (SLI)

Data Link Provider Interface (DLPI)

Multiplex Interface (MXI)

Channel Interface (CHI)

This device driver is a Linux 2.4.x loadable module which depends upon the PCI facilities of the Linux 2.4.x kernel series.
