35.Sh NAME
36.Nm dmv
37.Nd
38.Tn DEC
39.Tn DMV-11
40point-to-point serial communications device
41.Sh SYNOPSIS
42.Cd "dmv0 at uba0 csr 167000 vector dmvrint dmvxint"
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44NOTE: This driver has not been ported from
45.Bx 4.4
46yet.
47.Pp
48The
49.Nm dmv
50interface provides access to a point-to-point communications
51device which runs at up to 56 Kb/s.
52.Tn DMV-11 Ns s
53communicate
54using the
55.Tn DEC
56.Tn DDCMP
57link layer protocol.
58.Pp
59The host's address must be specified with an
60.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
61.Xr ioctl 2 ,
62and the destination address specified with a
63.Dv SIOCSIFDSTADDR
64.Xr ioctl 2 ,
65before the interface will transmit or receive any packets.
66.Sh ROUTING
67The driver places a
68.Tn HOST
69entry in the kernel routing tables for the
70address given in the
71.Dv SIOCSIFDSTADDR
72.Xr ioctl 2 .
73To use the
74.Tn DMV
75as a
76link between local nets, the route to the remote net must be added manually
77with the
78.Xr route 8
79command, or by the use of the routing process
80.Xr routed 8
81on each end of the link.
82.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
83.Bl -diag
84.It dmvprobe: can't start device.
85.It "dmvprobe: device init failed, bsel4=%o, bsel6=%o."
86The probe routine was unable to start the device.
87.It dmvinit: dmv%d not running.
88.It dmvrestart: can't start device.
89.It "dmv%d: device init failed, bsel4=%o, bsel6=%o."
90The initialization/restart routine was unable to start the device.
91.It dmv%d: far end on-line.
92The other end of the connection has come online.
93.It dmv%d: far end restart.
94The other end of the line has restarted.
95.It dmv%d: bad control %o.
96A bad parameter was passed to the
97.Em dmvload
98routine.
99.It "dmvxint: dmv%d bad rcv pkt addr 0x%x len 0x%x."
100A bad packet was received.
101.It "dmv%d: bad packet address 0x%x."
102An input packet was received which contained a type of
103address unknown to the driver.
104.It "dmvxint: dmv%d unallocated packet 0x%x."
105A protocol error has occurred with the board.
106.It "dmvoutput, dmv%d can't handle af%d."
107A packet for an unsupported address family has been sent.
108.It "dmv%d: output timeout, bsel0=%b bsel2=%b."
109A device timeout occurred.
110.El
111Numerous other device errors may be displayed.
