41.Tn DZ-11
42multiplexer device interface
43.Sh SYNOPSIS
44.Cd "device dz0 at uba0 csr 0160100 vector dzrint dzxint"
45.Sh DESCRIPTION
46A
47.Tn DZ-11
48provides 8 communication lines with partial modem control,
49adequate for
50.Tn UNIX
51dialup use.
52.Pp
53An optional argument
54.Ar flags
55may be supplied with the device specification
56in the config file indicating
57that the line corresponding to
58bit number
59.Ar i
60is not properly
61connected, and should be treated as hard-wired with carrier
62always present.  Thus specifying
63.Ql flags 0x04
64for
65.Li dz0
66would cause line
67.Pa tty02
68to be treated in this way.
69.Pp
70Normal I/O
71control parameters for individual lines are managed by
72.Xr ioctl 2
73calls.
74Line speeds may be initiated via
75the
76.Xr ttys 5
77file,
78.Xr stty 1
79or
80.Xr ifconfig 8
81to name a few,
82see
83.Xr tty 4 .
84.Pp
85The
86.Nm dz
87driver monitors the rate of input on each board,
88and switches between the use of character-at-a-time interrupts
89and input silos.
90While the silo is enabled during periods of high-speed input,
91the driver polls for input 30 times per second.

98.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
99.Bl -diag
100.It dz%d: silo overflow .
101The 64 character input silo overflowed
102before it could be serviced.  This can happen if a hard error occurs
103when the
104.Tn CPU
105is running with elevated priority, as the system will
106then print a message on the console with interrupts disabled.
107It is not serious.
