Overview

The TS-RF2-Aero provides a UART connecti over PC104 to the AeroComm/Laird AC4790 RF device.

Driver

The driver is available here. You can install the module to your kernel module directory (usually /lib/modules/<kernel version>) and use modprobe, or run 'insmod ts-rf2.ko' with the absolute path of the module. If you receive a message that the symbols are invalid, you will have to compile that module with your kernel sources. The sources are available in the same directory as the binaries.

Once loaded, a new TS-UART device file will appear in /dev. The exact name of this file will depend on the the number of TS-UARTs already loaded on your system, but the name of the driver will be of the form ttyTSx for the TS-72XX series, or from tttsx where x is an integer denoting the order in which the driver was loaded. You can run dmesg after loading the driver to see where it is created.

Getting Started

Communication with the Aerocomm device defaults to transparent serial mode. If you have two units operational with a terminal emulation program running on both unit you should be able to verify operation by pointing both programs to use the appropriate ttyTS entry, and then typing on either side.
