NAME

       ctau — driver for synchronous Cronyx Tau WAN adapters

SYNOPSIS

       device ctau

       Additional options:
       device sppp
       options NETGRAPH
       options NETGRAPH_CRONYX

       In /boot/device.hints:
       hint.ctau.0.at="isa"
       hint.ctau.0.port="0x240"
       hint.ctau.0.irq="15"
       hint.ctau.0.drq="7"

DEPRECATION NOTICE

       The ctau driver is not present in FreeBSD 13.0 and later.

DESCRIPTION

       The  ctau  driver  needs  either  sppp(4)  or  netgraph(4).   Which  one  to  use  is  determined  by the
       NETGRAPH_CRONYX option.  If this option is present in your kernel configuration  file,  the  ctau  driver
       will be compiled with netgraph(4) support.  Otherwise, it will be compiled with sppp(4) support.

       The  base I/O port address specified in /boot/device.hints must match the port address set by the jumpers
       on the board.  The DMA I/O channel and interrupt request numbers are configured by  software  at  adapter
       initialization.  Legal values are:

       Port:  0x200,  0x220, 0x240, 0x260, 0x280, 0x2a0, 0x2c0, 0x2e0, 0x300, 0x320, 0x340, 0x360, 0x380, 0x3a0,
              0x3c0, 0x3e0
       IRQ:   3, 5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 15
       DMA:   5, 6, 7

       The ctau driver supports autodetection.  As for all non-PNP hardware, using autodetection could  lead  to
       some potential problems with other devices during the hardware detection process.  It is always better to
       specify hardware resources manually.

       Refer to sconfig(8) for information about the ctau adapter configuration.

HARDWARE

       The ctau driver supports the following cards:

       •   Cronyx Tau (RS-232/V.35)
       •   Cronyx Tau/R (RS-530/RS-449)
       •   Cronyx Tau/E1 (fractional E1)
       •   Cronyx Tau/G703 (unframed E1)

HISTORY

       The  ctau  driver  was  added  in FreeBSD 5.3 and FreeBSD 4.10.  The ctau driver for previous versions of
       FreeBSD is available from http://www.cronyx.ru/.
