#### OPT_PNP - Installation of isapnp tools

Sometimes ISDN PnP adaptors have to be configuered by using the tool isapnp. This is mainly relevant for types (ISDN_TYPE) 7, 12, 19, 24, 27 and 28 - but only, if it´s really a ISY PnP adaptor !

For the correct configuration it is necessary to generate a configuration file named : `etc/isapnp.conf` .

Short description for this procedure:

- Set variables OPT_PNP='yes' and MOUNT_BOOT='rw' in file `config.txt`
- boot FLI4L - PnP adaptor will not be recognised in most cases
- Enter on FLI4L console:

    pnpdump -c >/mnt/isapnp.conf
    umount /mnt

Now the ISA PnP configuration is stored on the floppy disk.

Continue on another PC/computer (Unix/Linux/Windows):

- Copy file `isapnp.conf` from floppy disk to `opt/etc/isapnp.conf` .
- Open `isapnp.conf` with some editor.
- Enter data for interrupt and i/o address (IRQ/IO) in file `config/isdn.txt` .
- Create new boot floppy disk.

Attention:

The automatically generated file (config.txt) is stored in UNIX format and does not contain any CRs (carriage returns). If you try to use Windows´ Notepad, it will show all lines as ONE line. To avoid this phenomenon, use DOS editor "edit" or Windows´ Wordpad. Then files will be stored as pure text files.

To put things right::

- Start DOS box
- Change to folder: `opt/etc`
- Enter:

    edit isapnp.conf

After this you may edit this file with Notepad.

CRs which had been added during editing will be filtered out during start-up of FLI4L. They will not affect functionality of FLI4L.

First of all you should try to get to a success without using OPT_PNP . Only if your adaptor will not be recognized by your system you should use the above mentioned procedure (isapnp...)

When updating to a more actual FLI4L version you may still use the former created file isapnp.conf.

Default setting: OPT_PNP='no'
