37.Sh NAME
38.Nm dmv
39.Nd
40.Tn DEC
41.Tn DMV-11
42point-to-point communications device
43.Sh SYNOPSIS
44.Cd "device dmv0 at uba0 csr 167000 vector dmvrint dmvxint"
45.Sh DESCRIPTION
46The
47.Nm dmv
48interface provides access to a point-to-point communications
49device which runs at up to 56 Kb/s.
50.Tn DMV-11 Ns s
51communicate
52using the
53.Tn DEC
54.Tn DDCMP
55link layer protocol.
56.Pp
57The host's address must be specified with an
58.Dv SIOCSIFADDR
59.Xr ioctl 2 ,
60and the destination address specified with a
61.Dv SIOCSIFDSTADDR
62.Xr ioctl ,
63before the interface will transmit or receive any packets.
64.Sh ROUTING
65The driver places a
66.Tn HOST
67entry in the kernel routing tables for the
68address given in the
69.Dv SIOCSIFDSTADDR
70.Xr ioctl .
71To use the
72.Tn DMV
73as a
74link between local nets, the route to the remote net must be added manually
75with the
76.Xr route 8
77command, or by the use of the routing process
78.Xr routed 8
79on each end of the link.
80.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
81.Bl -diag
82.It dmvprobe: can't start device.
83.It "dmvprobe: device init failed, bsel4=%o, bsel6=%o."
84The probe routine was unable to start the device.

87.It dmvrestart: can't start device.
88.It "dmv%d: device init failed, bsel4=%o, bsel6=%o."
89The initialization/restart routine was unable to start the device.
90.Pp
91.It dmv%d: far end on-line.
92The other end of the connection has come online.
93.Pp
94.It dmv%d: far end restart.
95The other end of the line has restarted.
96.Pp
97.It dmv%d: bad control %o.
98A bad parameter was passed to the
99.Em dmvload
100routine.
101.Pp
102.It "dmvxint: dmv%d bad rcv pkt addr 0x%x len 0x%x."
103A bad packet was received.
104.Pp
105.It "dmv%d: bad packet address 0x%x."
106An input packet was received which contained a type of
107address unknown to the driver.
108.Pp
109.It "dmvxint: dmv%d unallocated packet 0x%x."
110A protocol error has occured with the board.
111.Pp
112.It "dmvoutput, dmv%d can't handle af%d."
113A packet for an unsupported address family has been sent.
114.Pp
115.It "dmv%d: output timeout, bsel0=%b bsel2=%b."
116A device timeout occurred.
117.El
