UMCS(4)			    Kernel Interfaces Manual		       UMCS(4)

NAME
       umcs  --	 USB  support  for  serial  adapters  based on the MCS7820 and
       MCS7840 chips

SYNOPSIS
       To compile this driver into the kernel, place the  following  lines  in
       your kernel configuration file:

	     device usb
	     device ucom
	     device umcs

       Alternatively,  to  load	the driver as a	module at boot time, place the
       following line in loader.conf(5):

	     umcs_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION
       The umcs	driver provides	support	for various multiport serial  adapters
       based  on  the MosCom MCS7820 and MCS7840 chips.	 They are 2- or	4-port
       adapters	with full-featured 16550-compatible UARTs  and	very  flexible
       baud generators.	 Also, these chips support RS422/RS485 and IrDA	opera-
       tions.

       The device is accessed through the ucom(4) driver which makes it	behave
       like a tty(4).

       Different ports on device are presented as sub-units, like /dev/ttyU0.1
       and /dev/ttyU0.2.

HARDWARE
       The umcs	driver was tested on the following adapters:

          ST Lab U-360	two-port serial	USB adapter
          ST Lab U-400	four-port serial USB adapter

FILES
       /dev/ttyU*.*	  for callin ports
       /dev/ttyU*.*.init
       /dev/ttyU*.*.lock  corresponding	 callin	 initial-state	and lock-state
			  devices

       /dev/cuaU*.*	  for callout ports
       /dev/cuaU*.*.init
       /dev/cuaU*.*.lock  corresponding	callout	initial-state  and  lock-state
			  devices

SEE ALSO
       tty(4), ucom(4),	usb(4)

HISTORY
       The umcs	driver appeared	in ports since December	of 2010.

AUTHORS
       The umcs	driver was written by Lev Serebryakov <lev@FreeBSD.org>.

BUGS
       This  driver  doesn't  support  access  to any fine tunes of chip, like
       RS522/RS485 mode, non-standard baudrates, etc.
