30.Dt UMCS 4
31.Os
32.Sh NAME
33.Nm umcs
34.Nd USB support for serial adapters based on the MCS7820 and MCS7840 chips
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36To compile this driver into the kernel,
37place the following lines in your
38kernel configuration file:
39.Bd -ragged -offset indent
40.Cd "device usb"
41.Cd "device ucom"
42.Cd "device umcs"
43.Ed
44.Pp
45Alternatively, to load the driver as a
46module at boot time, place the following line in
47.Xr loader.conf 5 :
48.Bd -literal -offset indent
49umcs_load="YES"
50.Ed
51.Sh DESCRIPTION
52The
53.Nm
54driver provides support for various multiport serial adapters based on the MosCom
55MCS7820 and MCS7840 chips.
56They are 2- or 4-port adapters with full-featured
5716550-compatible UARTs and very flexible baud generators.
58Also, these chips
59support RS422/RS485 and IrDA operations.
60.Pp
61The device is accessed through the
62.Xr ucom 4
63driver which makes it behave like a
64.Xr tty 4 .
65.Pp
66Different ports on device are presented as sub-units, like
67.Pa /dev/ttyU0.1
68and
69.Pa /dev/ttyU0.2 .
70.Sh HARDWARE
71The
72.Nm
73driver was tested on the following adapters:

77ST Lab U-360 two-port serial USB adapter
78.It
79ST Lab U-400 four-port serial USB adapter

99.Sh HISTORY
100The
101.Nm
102driver
103appeared in ports since December of 2010.
104.Sh AUTHORS
105.An -nosplit
106The
107.Nm
108driver was written by
109.An Lev Serebryakov Aq Mt lev@FreeBSD.org .
110.Sh BUGS
111This driver doesn't support access to any fine tunes of
112chip, like RS522/RS485 mode, non-standard baudrates, etc.
