To install simply copy the devc-nt960pci and NT960PCI.hex files to the /usr/bin directory.

If necessary the driver itself can be located in any bin directory. The firmware file (NT960PCI.hex) is expected to be located in the /usr/bin path.
If this is not the case then the driver must be run with the f= option.

You can utilize the “use” command to obtain the driver command line options and syntax.

Please refer to the CTI product manual for proper hardware setup. Once the hardware is set up properly.
You many run the driver by entering the following at a root command prompt.

# devc-nt960pci &

The driver is stopped with the following command:

# slay devc-nt960pci

The ctty executable is a utility similar to stty and is used to enable special options for CTI serial devices.

Check #1 Make sure there are the right number of serial devices in device directory

Check #2 The driver registers the following name:
/dev/name/local/cti/devc-nt960pc

Check #3 There should be at least 3 threads belonging to the driver. The following command should reveal these threads:

# pidin | grep “devc-nt960pci”
