			 Device	Driver Version V1.0.5d
	      AccelePort/DataFire RAS firmware release_80006691_J3
		   AccelePort Xp firmware release_80006858_A1

	  This	dgap  software	package	 includes  device  drivers for
	  Digi's  AccelePort  RAS,  Datafire  RAS  and	AccelePort  Xp
	  adapters.   The package also contains	Digi's Port Configura-
	  tion	Utility	 (PCU),	 Digi  Port  Authority	(DPA),	ditty,
	  dm_gui,  dmadmin,  dm_bb,  ras_trace and an agent for	Digi's
	  Port Assist Manager (PAM).

	   DGAP	V1.0.1d:

	  1. Supported Products

	  Digi AccelePort RAS 4	and 8 port adapters, Digi DataFire RAS
	  B4U,	B4ST,  PT1, PT2, PE1 and PE2 adapters and Digi Accele-
	  Port 2p, 4p, 8p and 16p adapters.

	  2. Enhancements

	  None

	  3. Bug Fixes

	  Fixed	a driver bug that caused a  kernel  panic  if  several
	  stty	or  ditty commands were	issued back to back for	a par-
	  ticular device.

	  4. Known Limitations

	  This package will link into the kernel even if there	is  no
	  supported  board  installed  in the system.  When the	system
	  boots	up, the	driver searches	for supported  adapters.   The
	  first	 board	detected  will get his devices assigned	first.
	  If there are multiple	boards of a particular type  installed
	  in  the  system, the lowest slot number is configured	first.
	  Therefore, board ordering is important to how	 the  adapters
	  are  configured.   As	 an example:  If you have 2 AccelePort
	  RAS 8	adapters that have been	configured in you system, then
	  you decide later to add an AccelePort	RAS 4, when the	system
	  boots	up, the	Acceleport RAS in the lowest slot number  will
	  be  assigned	the  first  set	 of  device  nodes, the	second



				      -	1 -






	  detected AccelePort RAS adapter will get the second  set  of
	  device  nodes,  and  the third detected adapter will get the
	  third	set of device nodes.  If the newly added  adapter  was
	  not  added  in  a  slot higher than the previous 2 adapters,
	  device mapping will now be incorrect.	 NOTE:	A message will
	  print	 to the	system console at boot time if there have been
	  any boards added or removed from the system that this	driver
	  package knows	about.

	  The  DataFire	RAS PT1, PT2, PE1 and PE2 adapters have	device
	  names	in the format "/dev/ttyh[x]_[yy]" where	"x" is the  -1
	  of  the  adapter  and	 "yy" is the port -1 from 01-24	(PT1),
	  01-48	(PT2), 01-30 (PE1) or 01-60 (PE2).  All	other adapters
	  have	the  naming of "/dev/ttyh[x][a-pA-P]" where "x"	is the
	  -1 of	the adapter.

	  The Port Assist agent	is turned off by default.  It  can  be
	  enabled  by  removing	 the comment from the only line	in the
	  script /etc/rc2.d/S95apras.

	  There	is a tool called "dmadmin" found in /usr/bin that will
	  allow	 you  to  configure  AccelePort	 RAS  and DataFire RAS
	  adapters.  There is a	man page "man dmadmin" that  describes
	  the programs usage.

	  There	 is a tool called "dm_gui" available under the graphi-
	  cal login that will allow you	to configure and  monitor  all
	  installed  adapters  that are	supported by this driver pack-
	  age.

	  There	is a tool called "ras_trace" found  in	/usr/bin  that
	  will allow you to trace serial, b-channel and	d-channel data
	  and status on	the supported adapters.	 There is a  man  page
	  "man ras_trace" that describes the programs usage.

	  The  tools dpa, pcu and ditty	can be found in	/usr/bin. They
	  can be used to assist	 you  in  configuring  and  monitoring
	  ports	that were configured through this package.

	  A   copy   of	  these	  release   notes   can	 be  found  in
	  "/etc/dgap/rnotes".
