1.11 Installing the USB Driver on Linux

This driver supports Linux-2.4 kernels.
The Linux kernel sources can be download from:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/
The installed system should already have the kernel sources
installed in the /usr/src/linux directory. If they are not there,
try to get them off the installation disks for your distribution,
or download the latest Linux-2.4 kernel, and configure and
build that. One common problem while compiling modules
on a new kernel is not to create link /usr/src/linux which
should point to the relevent kernel source directory. On a
freshly installed system this link might not be present and

Clipper USB

needs to be created before the kernel or any driver module
can be compiled. There are lots of books and documents
available describing how to extract, configure and build the
kernel from it's sources.
The driver is compiled and tested for:

• RedHat 7.1 : kernels 2.4.2-2 using gcc 2.96

• RedHat 8.0 : kernel 2.4.18-14 using gcc 3.2

• RedHat 9.0 : kernel 2.4.20-8 using gcc 3.2

For Linux installation instructions, please refer to the text file
provided with your Linux driver’s package.

Configuring PC in Linux:

To enable LAN traffic over the ethernet interface:

% ifconfig eth2 192.168.1.200 up

You may also need to modify the netmask and route for the
interface. Refer to the manual pages for ifconfig and route
for more information.
To test the LAN connection is alive by pinging the remote
side: % ping 192.168.1.1
To disconnect the LAN interface: % ifconfig eth2 down

Configuring the Network Properties--- WAN
Adapter

The PPP daemon (pppd) talks to the driver over TTY
devices. Before the driver can be used, the devices
/dev/ttyG0 and /dev/cug0 need to be reated. This can be
performed by executing: % make devnodes

Clipper USB

1.12 Connection PPPoA/PPPoE
(Windows)

PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) provides access control in a
manner similar to dial-up services using PPP. It provides
access control and billing functionality in a manner similar to
dial-up services using PPP.
Double click on the Clipper Dial-up PPP connection icon
on the desktop. Then, the following window will appear.

Enter the User name and Password provided by your
ISP(Let the Phone number field be blank, in Windows 98SE/

1.15 Uninstalling the Clipper USB

Windows

The setup information for the Clipper is saved by Windows.
If you decide to permanently remove the driver and utility of
the Clipper from your system, you must run the
uninstallation program from the ISDN Utility program group
as follows:

• Open the Programs folder on the Start menu and
click the Clipper ADSL USB Modem item.

• Click the Uninstall item. The uninstallation program
will run.

before the system is rebooted.

Linux

To unload an unused module:
% rmmod ./GSPNModem (Command to be executed from
directory monaco_linux/ModemDrv)
You may need to exit or disconnect any program current
using the module before it will unload. If the module was
configured for LAN, shutdown the ethernet interface:
% ifconfig eth2 down
Note: If multiple ethernet interfaces are created then all the
ethernet interfaces need to be brought down before

Clipper USB

unloading the driver.
If the module was configured as a WAN device, you may
need to disconnect the PPP daemon (pppd) from the TTY
interfaces. Do this by terminating the PPP daemon:
% killall pppd

Mac OS9 / X

• Invoke the Uninstaller from the DSL Modem folder
(Application -> Clipper ADSL USB Modem -
>Uninstall)

• The “Uninstall” screen will appear. Select “Yes,
remove the software from my computer” and click
Next>

Type the administrator name and password at the

•

“Authenticate” screen and click OK.

Clipper USB
