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

99.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
100.Bl -diag
101.It dmz%d: NXM line %d.
102No response from the
103.Tn UNIBUS
104on a
105.Tn DMA
106transfer
107within a timeout period.  This is often followed by a
108.Tn UNIBUS
109adapter
110error.  This occurs most frequently when the
111.Tn UNIBUS
112is heavily loaded
113and when devices which hog the bus (such as
114.Tn RK07 Ns s )
115are present.
116It is not serious.
117.Pp
118.It dmz%d: silo overflow.
119The character input silo overflowed
120before it could be serviced.  This can happen if a hard error occurs
121when the
122.Tn CPU
123is running with elevated priority, as the system will
124then print a message on the console with interrupts disabled.
125It is not serious.

127.Sh SEE ALSO
128.Xr tty 4
129.Sh HISTORY
130The
131.Nm
132driver appeared in
133.Bx 4.3 .
134.Sh BUGS
135It should be possible to set the silo timeout with a configuration file option,
136as the value is a trade-off between efficiency and response time for flow
137control and character echo.
