39.Sh NAME
40.Nm dmz
41.Nd
42.Tn DMZ-32
43serial terminal multiplexor
44.Sh SYNOPSIS
45.Cd "dmz0 at uba? csr 0160540" "vector dmzrinta dmzxinta dmzrintb dmzxintb dmzrintc dmzxintc"
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47NOTE: This driver has not been ported from
48.Bx 4.4
49yet.
50.Pp
51The
52.Nm dmz
53device provides 24 lines of asynchronous serial line support.
54Modem control on all ports is available
55as an option for the H3014 distribution panel.
56.Pp
57An optional argument
58.Ar flags
59may be supplied with the device specification for
60.Nm dmz
61in the config file indicating
62that the line corresponding to
63bit number
64.Ar i
65is not properly
66connected, and should be treated as hard-wired with carrier
67always present.  Thus specifying
68.Ql flags 0x000004
69for
70.Li dmz0
71would cause line
72.Pa ttya2
73to be treated in this way.
74.Pp
75Normal
76.Tn I/O
77control parameters for individual lines are managed by
78.Xr ioctl 2
79calls.
80Line speeds (there are 16 choices for the
81.Tn DMZ )
82may be initiated via
83.Xr getty 8
84and
85.Xr stty 1
86or may be communicated by other programs which
87utilize
88.Xr ioctl 2
89such as
90.Xr ifconfig 8 ,
91see
92.Xr tty 4  .
93.Pp
94The
95.Nm dmz
96driver normally enables the input silos with a short timeout
97(30 milliseconds); this allows multiple characters to be received
98per interrupt during periods of high-speed input.

103.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
104.Bl -diag
105.It dmz%d: NXM line %d.
106No response from the
107.Tn UNIBUS
108on a
109.Tn DMA
110transfer
111within a timeout period.  This is often followed by a
112.Tn UNIBUS
113adapter
114error.  This occurs most frequently when the
115.Tn UNIBUS
116is heavily loaded
117and when devices which hog the bus (such as
118.Tn RK07 Ns s )
119are present.
120It is not serious.
121.Pp
122.It dmz%d: silo overflow.
123The character input silo overflowed
124before it could be serviced.  This can happen if a hard error occurs
125when the
126.Tn CPU
127is running with elevated priority, as the system will
128then print a message on the console with interrupts disabled.
129It is not serious.

132.Xr tty 4
133.Sh HISTORY
134The
135.Nm
136driver appeared in
137.Bx 4.3 .
138.Sh BUGS
139It should be possible to set the silo timeout with a configuration file option,
140as the value is a trade-off between efficiency and response time for flow
141control and character echo.
