SYNOPSIS
lmcconfig interface [-abBcCdDeEfgGhiLmMpPsStTuUvVwxXyY?] lmcconfig interface -1 [-aABcdeEfFgiIlLpPstTuUxX] lmcconfig interface -3 [-aABcefFlLsSV]
DESCRIPTION
The lmcconfig utility is the configuration program for the lmc(4) wide- area network device driver. It sets control values, such as T3 framing format, and it displays status, such as that of integrated modems, which are beyond the scope of ifconfig(8). The lmcconfig utility displays the interface status when no parameters are specified; see the EXAMPLES section. For this case only, if no interface is specified, it defaults to ``lmc0''. Only the super-user may modify the configuration of a network interface. The following options are available: interface This is the name of the interface; the default is ``lmc0''. -1 All parameters after this apply to the T1E1 card. -3 All parameters after this apply to the T3 card. Parameters for all cards The following parameters apply to more then one card type. -a number Set Transmitter clock source to number. 1 TxClk from modem T1E1, HSSI (default) 2 Internal source T1E1, HSSI 3 RxClk from modem T1E1, HSSIc (loop timed) 4 External connector T1E1, HSSIc An HSSI card normally takes its Tx clock from the modem connector (it is a DTE) but can use the PCI bus clock (typ- ically 33 MHz) for loopback and null modem testing; values 3 and 4 are only applicable to a few rare CompactPCI/HSSI cards. A T1E1 card uses an on-board synthesized oscillator if the value is 1 or 2; it loop times (uses the clock recovered by the receiver as the transmitter clock) if the value is 3; and it uses a clock from a header connector on the card if the value is 4. TxClk source is not applicable to other card types. -b Read BIOS ROM. Print the first 256 locations. The BIOS ROM is not used and not present on some cards. -B Write BIOS ROM. Write the first 256 locations with an address pattern. -c Use HDLC's 16-bit Cyclic Redundancy Checksum (CRC). -C Use HDLC's 32-bit Cyclic Redundancy Checksum (CRC). -d Clear the driver-level debug flag. Non-critical log mes- sages are suppressed. -D Set the driver-level debug flag. The driver generates more log messages. The driver also generates more log messages if the interface-level debug flag is set by ifconfig(8). -e Set DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) mode (default). An SSI card transmitter uses the Tx clock signal from the modem connector and receives the Data Carrier Detect pin (DCD). DTE/DCE is not applicable to other card types except a few rare CompactPCI/HSSI cards. -E Set DCE (Data Communication Equipment) mode. An SSI card transmitter uses an on-board synthesized oscillator and drives the Data Carrier Detect pin (DCD). -f number Set the frequency of the built-in synthesized oscillator to number bits/second. The nearest frequency that the synthe- sizer can generate will be used. Only SSI cards and a few rare CompactPCI/HSSI cards have synthesizers. -g Load gate array microcode from on-board ROM; see also -U. -G filename Load gate array microcode from filename; see also -U. -h Print help (usage message). -i Set interface name (e.g. ``lmc0''). -L number Set loopback mode to number. 1 none default 2 payload outward thru framer T1E1. T3 3 line outward thru line if T1E1, T3 4 other inward thru line if T1E1, T3 5 inward inward thru framer T1E1, T3 6 dual inward and outward T1E1, T3 16 tulip inward thru Tulip chip all cards 17 pins inward thru drvrs/rcvrs SSI 18 LA/LL assert LA/LL modem pin HSSI, SSI 19 LB/RL assert LB/RL modem pin HSSI, SSI -m Read Tulip MII registers. Print the 32 16-bit registers in the Media Independent Interface. -M addr data Write Tulip MII register. Write data into register addr. -p Read Tulip PCI configuration registers. Print the first 16 32-bit registers in the PCI configuration space. -P addr data Write Tulip PCI configuration register. Write data into register addr. -s Read Tulip SROM.

Initializes the Tulip SROM to card type number. 3 HSSI 4 T3 5 SSI 6 T1E1 7 HSSIc 8 SDSL 0 auto-set from uCode type If number is zero, then the card type is computed from the gate array microcode version field in the MII PHYID regis- ter. CAUTION: if the SROM is incorrect, the card will be unusable! This command is so dangerous that lmcconfig must be edited and recompiled to enable it. -t Read Tulip CSRs. Print the 16 32-bit Control and Status Registers. -T addr data Write Tulip CSR. Write data into register addr. Note that addr is a CSR number (0-15) not a byte offset into CSR space. -u Reset event counters to zero. The driver counts events like packets in and out, errors, discards, etc. The time when the counters are reset is remembered. -U Reset gate array microcode. -v Set verbose mode: print more stuff. -V Print the card configuration; see the EXAMPLES section. -x number Set the line control protocol to number.

Some T3 cards can offset the transmitter frequency from 44.736 MHz. Number is in the range (0..4095); 2048 is zero offset; step size is about 3 Hz. A number is written to a Digital-Analog Converter (DAC) which connects to a Voltage Controlled Crystal Oscillator (VCXO). Event Counters The device driver counts many interesting events such as packets in and out, errors and discards. The table below lists the event counters and describes what they count. Rx bytes Bytes received in packets with good ending status. Tx bytes Bytes transmitted in packets with good ending status. Rx packets Packets received with good ending status. Tx packets Packets transmitted with good ending status. Rx errors Packets received with bad ending status. Tx errors Packets transmitted with bad ending status. Rx drops Packets received but discarded by software because the input queue was full or the link was down. Rx missed Packets that were missed by hardware because the receiver was enabled but had no DMA descriptors. Tx drops Packets presented for transmission but discarded by software because the output queue was full or the link was down. Rx fifo overruns Packets that started to arrive, but were aborted because the card was unable to DMA data to memory fast enough to prevent the receiver fifo from overflowing. This is reported in the ending status of DMA descrip- tors. Rx overruns Rx Fifo overruns reported by the Tulip chip in the Status CSR. The driver stops the receiver and restarts it to work around a potential hardware hangup. Tx fifo underruns Packets that started to transmit but were aborted because the card was unable to DMA data from memory fast enough to prevent the transmitter fifo from underflowing. This is reported in the ending status of DMA descriptors. Tx underruns Tx Fifo underruns reported by the Tulip chip in the Status CSR. The driver increases the transmitter threshold, requiring more bytes to be in the fifo before the transmitter is started. Rx FDL pkts Packets received on the T1 Facility Data Link. Rx CRC Cyclic Redundancy Checksum errors detected by the CRC-6 in T1 Extended SuperFrames (ESF) or the CRC-4 in E1 frames. Rx line code Line Coding Violation errors: Alternate Mark Inversion (AMI) errors for T1-SF, Bipolar 8-Zero Substitution (B8ZS) errors for T1-ESF, or High Density Bipolar with 3-Zero Substitution (HDB3) errors for E1 or Bipolar 3-Zero Substitution (B3ZS) errors for T3. Rx F-bits T1 or T3 bit errors in the frame alignment signal. Rx FEBE Far End Block Errors: T1 or T3 bit errors detected by the device at the far end of the link. Rx P-parity T3 bit errors detected by the hop-by-hop parity mecha- nism. Rx C-parity T3 bit errors detected by the end-to-end parity mecha- nism. Rx M-bits T3 bit errors in the multi-frame alignment signal. If driver debug mode is enabled, more event counters are displayed. Rx no bufs Failure to allocate a replacement packet buffer for an incoming packet. The buffer allocation is retried later. Tx no descs Failure to allocate a DMA descriptor for an outgoing packet. The descriptor allocation is retried later. Lock watch The watchdog routine conflicted with an IOCTL syscall. Lock intr A CPU tried to enter the interrupt handler while another CPU was already inside. The second CPU simply walks away. Spare1-4 Nameless events of interest to the device driver main- tainer. Transmit Speed The hardware counts transmit clocks divided by 2048. The software com- putes ``Tx speed'' from this (see EXAMPLES below). The transmit clock is the bit rate of the circuit divided by two if the circuit is idle and divided by four if the circuit is carrying a packet. So an empty circuit reports a Tx speed equal to its bit rate, and a full circuit reports a Tx speed equal to half its bit rate. This ``bit rate'' does not include circuit-level overhead bits (such as T1 or T3 frame bits) but does include HDLC stuff bits. An idle T1 cir- cuit with a raw bit rate of 1544000 and a bit-rate-minus-overhead of 1536000 will report a ``Tx speed'' of ((1536000 bitand 4095) plus or minus 4096). Sometimes it will even get the correct answer of 1536000, and if the link is fully loaded it will report about 768000 bits/sec. It is not a perfect bit rate meter (the circuit must be idle), but it is a useful circuit utilization meter if you know the circuit bit rate and do some arithmetic. Software recalculates Tx speed once a second; the measurement period has some jitter.
