NAME sbni - Granch SBNI12 leased line modem driver
SYNOPSIS device sbni
DESCRIPTION The sbni driver provides support for leased line modems of following models:
o SBNI12-02, SBNI12D-02 o SBNI12-04, SBNI12D-04 o SBNI12-05, SBNI12D-05, ISA and PCI o SBNI12-10, SBNI12D-10, ISA and PCI
and a kit for data link over a voice band:
o SBNI12-11, SBNI12D-11, ISA and PCI.
In addition to the standard port and IRQ specifications, the sbni driver also supports a number of flags which can set baud rate, receive level, and low three bytes of Ethernet MAC-address (high three are always 00:ff:01), because Granch modems are presented to the system as Ethernet- like network cards.
The high byte of the flags is a bit field, it is used to specify SBNI adapter receive level/baud rate:
Bits 0-3: receive level (0x00..0x0f)
Bits 4-5: baud rate number:
00 - 0 baud rate (2Mb in fast mode/500kb in slow) 01 - 1 baud rate (1Mb/250kb) 10 - 2 baud rate (500kb/125kb) 11 - 3 baud rate (250kb/62.5kb)
Bit 6: use fixed receive level
if bit 6 is set then receive level will be set according to bits 0-3 value, otherwise receive level will be autodetected
Bit 7: use fixed baud rate
if bit 7 is set then baud rate will be set according to bits 4-5 value, otherwise baud rate is set to 2Mb
FILES The sources for the driver reside in:

SBNI12 hardware was designed by Alexey V. Chirkov.
