This release introduces Async operation on FarSync Flex, T4E, T4E+ and T4U cards that have been fitted with Async components. The Async functions can be accessed programmatically via standard tty function calls or through the FarSite Char API. The features supported in this release are:
The minicom terminal emulation application is able to open a session and operate over the async port.
The xmodem application is able to transfer files over the async port.
The Linux async PPP Daemon is able to use the FarSync async ports for ppp sessions.
More details about using the async port are available here.
This releases introduces support for the FarSync T4E+ card. This is an enhanced version of the T4E that includes support for Manchester encoding in addition to nrz.
The farmon utility is now installed as a command.
The farnetd utility is now available for most devices.
The T4E card supports generation of a large number of standard clock rates. The clock synthesiser on the T4E card can be set to generate almost any specific clock rate not available as standard through use of a new configuration parameter, "synth". For details on how to use this parameter see the configuration section of the documentation.
synth | data string supplied by FarSite | flow_control | hardware or software or none |
NRZIClocking | enable or disable | stop_bits | 1 or 1.5 or 2 |
termination | resistive or none | parity | odd or even or none |
lineMode | hdlc or transparent or async | word_len | 5 or 6 or 7 or 8 |
numRxBuffers | Same as numBuffers. It just allows rx to be configured individually | xon_char | |
numTxBuffers | Same as numBuffers. It just allows tx to be configured individually | xoff_char | |
sizeRxBuffers | Same as sizeBuffers. It just allows rx size to be configured individually | ||
sizeTxBuffers | Same as sizeBuffers. It just allows tx size to be configured individually | ||
encoding | the value of Manchester has been added to this parameter |
The FarSync OEM driver no longer connects to the syncppp module. Therefore the syncppp.c source file is no longer required in order to complete the OEM installation.
Introduce application backward compatibility.
