35.Sh NAME

38.Tn DHU-11/DHV-11
39serial communications multiplexer
40.Sh SYNOPSIS
41.Cd "dhu0 at uba0 csr 0160440"
42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43A
44.Tn DHU-11
45provides 16 communication lines.
46.Pp
47Normal I/O
48control parameters for individual lines are managed by
49.Xr ioctl 2
50calls.
51Individual
52.Tn DHU-11
53lines may be configured to run at any of 13 speeds
54(50, 200 and 38400 baud are not available);
55the speed may be set via
56.Xr getty 8
57or
58.Xr stty 1
59or may be communicated by other programs which
60use
61.Xr ioctl 2
62such as
63.Xr ifconfig 8 ,
64see
65.Xr tty 4 .
66.Pp
67The
68.Tn DHU-11
69driver normally uses input silos
70and delays receiver interrupts by 20 milliseconds
71rather than taking an interrupt on each input character.

76.Sh NOTES
77The driver currently does not make full use of the hardware
78capabilities of the
79.Tn DHU-11 ,
80for dealing with
81.Tn XON/XOFF
82flow-control or hard-wired
83lines for example.
84.Pp
85Although the devices are not the same, a
86.Tn DHU-11
87can convince the
88.Tn DH-11
89autoconfiguration code that it is a
90.Tn DH-11 .
91.Pp
92The 4 40-way cables are a pain.
93.Sh SEE ALSO
94.Xr tty 4
95.Sh HISTORY
96The
97.Nm
98driver appeared in
99.Bx 4.3 .
100.Pp
101A new
102.Nm
103driver showed up in
104.Nx 1.2 .
105.Sh BUGS
106Even if the
107.Nm
108hardware supports
109.Tn DMA ,
110the driver cannot make use of this capability.
