Configuration Procedure
The eiconcfg program stores most parameter settings in the Eiconcard configuration file. The
default name for this file is /opt/dialogic/c4l/ec.cfg.
The following steps outline the configuration process. References are made to several
configuration screens. For information on using configuration screens, see
Using the
Configuration Screens on page 20.
1. Create a backup copy of the ec.cfg configuration file in case you need to restore the original
version. Whenever you save the ec.cfg file, its previous version is saved to ec.bak.
Subsequent saves will overwrite the backup file.
2. Select the Eiconcard Services Protocol Configuration option from the main eiconcfg menu.
3. Type the name of the Eiconcard configuration file that you want to modify and press Enter.
To see a list of available configuration files, type *.cfg and press Enter. Use the cursor
keys to highlight the file that you wish to configure and press F4.
4. If you want to save the *.cfg settings to an ASCII text file, select an Eiconcard configuration
file in the Files box and press the F9 Print key. The ASCII text filename is *.prt, so if the
configuration file was ec.cfg, then the ASCII text file will be saved to ec.prt in the current
directory.
5. Press F4 Config to display the Hardware Configuration screen.
6. Select appropriate values in the Number of ports and Auto activate ports fields for each
Eiconcard in your system. Use the Spacebar to scroll through the available options in each
box, and use the cursor keys (), Tab key, or Enter key to move between boxes. If you are
configuring more than one Eiconcard, move to the appropriate column to change the values
for each Eiconcard. If an entry you select is invalid, then that entry will flash until you
change it (on X-terminals, the incorrect entry is simply highlighted).
7. Press F4 Config to display the Protocol Configuration screen for the Eiconcard selected.
Note: If there is an invalid entry anywhere on the current screen, you cannot continue to
the next configuration screen. You can use F10 Quit or the Esc key to cancel the entire
configuration operation.
8. Move the cursor to the Line Protocol Module box, and press the Spacebar until you see
the option you want. Press F4 Config to configure that option. When you are finished,
press F3 Prev to return to the main Protocol Configuration screen.
9. To change the Dialer Selection, move the cursor to the Dialer Selection box, and press the
Spacebar until you see the option you want. Press F4 Config to configure that option.
10. If you have additional Eiconcards to configure, press F6 NxtCrd. The message "Card n"
appears in the top right corner of the screen. Configure each Eiconcard as you did the first
by modifying the necessary Line-protocol module and Dialer-selection parameters.
11. Press F2 Save to save all parameter settings for all cards to the Eiconcard configuration
file you selected on the Eiconcard Connections for Linux Protocol Configuration screen.
12. Press F10 Quit to exit the configuration program.
13. Reload the Eiconcard(s) when prompted.
