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 operations.

     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  de-
			vices

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

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.
