15.Tn DMV-11
16point-to-point communications device
17.Sh SYNOPSIS
18.Cd "device dmv0 at uba0 csr 167000 vector dmvrint dmvxint"
19.Sh DESCRIPTION
20The
21.Nm dmv
22interface provides access to a point-to-point communications
23device which runs at up to 56 Kb/s.
24.Tn DMV-11 Ns s
25communicate
26using the
27.Tn DEC
28.Tn DDCMP
29link layer protocol.
30.Pp
31The host's address must be specified with an
32.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
33.Xr ioctl 2 ,
34and the destination address specified with a
35.Dv SIOCSIFDSTADDR
36.Xr ioctl ,
37before the interface will transmit or receive any packets.
38.Sh ROUTING
39The driver places a
40.Tn HOST
41entry in the kernel routing tables for the
42address given in the
43.Dv SIOCSIFDSTADDR
44.Xr ioctl .
45To use the
46.Tn DMV
47as a
48link between local nets, the route to the remote net must be added manually
49with the
50.Xr route 8
51command, or by the use of the routing process
52.Xr routed 8
53on each end of the link.
