.TH "ASTRIBANK_ALLOW" "8" "29 March 2009" "" ""
.SH NAME
astribank_allow \- License Xorcom Astribank (xpp) capabilities.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B astribank_allow \-D \fIdevice-path\fR [ options ]
.B astribank_allow [\-h]
.SH DESCRIPTION
Modern Astribanks (with USB product id's 116x) contain capabilities
that may be licensed.
.B astribank_allow
is used to upload/download the licensing information to/from the device.
Uploading a valid license file to an Astribank, changes its capabilities.
The change becomes effective after a firmware reset (either by powering
the device off and on again, or via the \fBastribank_tool\fR full reset option).
Downloading license from the device, produces a valid license file for its
current capabilities. This may be backed up, so the device may be later
restored to its previous capabilities.
The license file contains both a human readable description of the
device capabilities for the end user and a hash of the licensing
information used by Xorcom to generate/modify licensed capabilities.
.SH OPTIONS
.B \-D
.I device-path
.RS
Required. The device to read from/write to. This is
\fIbus_num\fR/\fIdevice_num\fR, where \fIbus_num\fR and \fIdevice_num\fR
are the first two numbers in the output of lsusb(8) or dahdi_hardware(8).
On older versions of this tool you needed a complete path to the device,
which would be /dev/bus/usb/\fIbus_num\fR/\fIdevice_num\fR, or
/proc/bus/usb/\fIbus_num\fR/\fIdevice_num\fR.
