I. Special requirements
  • To install this driver, you must be logged into Linux as the "root" user.
  • If you are upgrading from a previous Lucent modem driver, please uninstall the existing Lucent modem driver (according to the uninstall instructions for that driver) before installing the new one.
  • The modem driver package includes some source code that must be compiled against the Linux kernel. Although the installation script handles the compilation automatically, you must ensure that the source code for your Linux kernel is installed and accessible via the directory /usr/src/linux, and that the kernel source code and corresponding ".config" file match the kernel that you are running. Instructions for installing the kernel source code are beyond the scope of this document. However, you can refer to our Linux certification reports (http://www.linuxcare.com/labs/certs) for assistance.
  • Once installed, the Lucent modem can be accessed via the device /dev/ttyS14 or via the device /dev/modem. Configure your modem applications to use those devices.
 
II. Installation instructions
  1. Start Linux
  2. Download this package into a directory on your hard disk. For these instructions, we'll assume that you've downloaded the self-extracting package into the directory " /root ".
  3. Start a Linux command terminal (a.k.a. command prompt) as the "root" user.
  4. Change the current directory to "/usr/src": cd /usr/src
  5. Extract the files from this package into the "/usr/src/ltmodem595lus" directory: bash /root/ltmodem595lus.sh
  6. Change the current directory to "/usr/src/ltmodem595lus": cd /usr/src/ltmodem595lus
  7. Build and install the Lucent modem driver by running the "make" command: make install
  8. NOTE: If you notice compilation errors or an indication that the "make" procedure aborted, it is most likely the result of either the kernel source code not being installed correctly or the use of an unsupported version of the Linux kernel.
  9. Refer to the included readme.txt file for additional information.
 
III. Uninstall instructions
  1. Start Linux.
  2. Start a Linux command terminal (a.k.a. command prompt) as the "root" user.
  3. Change the current directory to "/usr/src/ltmodem595lus": cd /usr/src/ltmodem595lus
  4. Uninstall the driver by running the "ltuninst" command: ./ltuninst
  5. NOTE: This does not remove the files in the /usr/src/ltmodem595lus directory. To remove the /usr/src/ltmodem595lus directory and all of its contents, continue with step 6, otherwise stop here.
  6. Change the current directory to "/usr/src": cd /usr/src
  7. Remove the ltmodem595lus directory by using the "rm" command: rm -rf ltmodem595lus
