<p align="Center"> (Appendix 5) </p>
<pre> If you plan to use DRSI-card with this software, you must make some changes.<br>Before you start FBB, you must load the DRSI-driver that comes with the DRSI-<br>card. This must be TNCTSR-R or TNCTSR-L with a version-number higher or equal<br>to 2.1.<br><br> The first DRSI-card (MultCh 0 and 1) must be at address 300.<br> The second DRSI-card (MultCh 2 and 3) must be at address 310.<br> The third DRSI-card (MultCh 4 and 5) must be at address 308.<br> The fourth DRSI-card (MultCh 6 and 7) must be at address 318.<br><br> Before installing cards in the PC, use the program CHKADDR to verify that<br>the addresses corresponding to the cards have a value of FF. If there is a<br>problem, check your configuration to find what peripheral is already using<br>this address. Install just one card at the time, and verify each cards<br>presence with CHKADDR.<br><br> When all cards are ok, configure the driver by means of the TAILORnn program<br>(depending of the version). TNCTSR-S will be ok if you use only a few<br>channels, while TNCTSR-L should be used for big configurations, up to 32<br>channels.<br><br> One problem: What DRSI calls DRSI-PORT, is what we call MultCh in FBB ! What<br>DRSI calls PORT, is what FBB calls port or TNC ! We always use FBB-names<br>here...<br><br> Each DRSI-card works like 2 radio-ports. The first DRSI-card is always<br>MultCh 0 and 1, and the forth card is MultCh 6 and 7. If one radio-port is<br>used on HF, that port must be the second port on the card.<br><br> All the DRSI-cards together, work like only one COM. And this COM-port does<br>not need to exist in the PC. You may call that port COM 7 or COM 8 and keep<br>free the already existing COMS.<br><br> Baud-rate does not matter, but should be set to a standard value, to avoid<br>error-messages.<br><br> Here is an example of PORT.SYS with 2 DRSI-cards (4 radios) :<br><br> #<br> #Ports TNCs<br> 1 4<br> #<br><br> #<br> #Com Interface Address (Hex) Baud<br> 7 4 0 4800<br> #<br><br> #<br> #TNC NbCh Com MultCh Pacl Maxfr NbFwd MxBloc M/P-Fwd Mode Freq<br> 1 8 7 0 230 4 1 10 30/60 UDYW 433.650<br> 2 1 7 1 80 2 1 5 12/30 GDW 15/20m<br> 3 8 7 2 230 4 1 10 36/60 UDYW 433.650<br> 4 8 7 3 230 4 1 5 10/30 GDW 145.300<br> #<br><br> If you are using DRSI-card, you also must change the INITTNC1.SYS. You will<br>need only ONE file for all the ports.<br><br> Example of INITTNC1.SYS that initializes 4 ports:<br> MUIS<br> U0<br> p0 1 64 10 4 4 10 100 18000 30 2 0<br> p1 1 64 10 4 1 16 100 18000 30 1 0<br> p2 1 64 10 4 4 10 100 18000 30 2 0<br> p3 1 64 10 4 4 10 100 18000 30 2 0<br><br><br><br><br> The same goes for MAINT1.SYS, only 1 file is needed for all 4 ports, like<br>this:<br><br><br> Y 1<br> U 1 BBS ($c) was shut down for service $d $T.<br><br><br> In FORWARD.SYS there is no changes. Use standard syntax.<br><br> Well, I think that should be all (for DRSI). Oh, bye the way: DRSI cannot<br>limit the number of connections per radio-port. But in FBB we still can have<br>NbCh set to for example 1. When a station then connects to the BBS on that<br>radio-port, and there already is one user connected there, the BBS will send<br>a message to him: "Sorry, no more channels available" and disconnect him.<br><br><br>
