Requirements - ------------ -1.1. Hardware - -------- - This driver supports the connection of the Gigaset 307x/417x family of - ISDN DECT bases via Gigaset M101 Data, Gigaset M105 Data or direct USB - connection. The following devices are reported to be compatible: - - Bases: - Siemens Gigaset 3070/3075 isdn - Siemens Gigaset 4170/4175 isdn - Siemens Gigaset SX205/255 - Siemens Gigaset SX353 - T-Com Sinus 45 [AB] isdn - T-Com Sinus 721X[A] [SE] - Vox Chicago 390 ISDN (KPN Telecom) - - RS232 data boxes: - Siemens Gigaset M101 Data - T-Com Sinus 45 Data 1 - - USB data boxes: - Siemens Gigaset M105 Data - Siemens Gigaset USB Adapter DECT - T-Com Sinus 45 Data 2 - T-Com Sinus 721 data - Chicago 390 USB (KPN) - - See also http://www.erbze.info/sinus_gigaset.htm and - http://gigaset307x.sourceforge.net/ - - We had also reports from users of Gigaset M105 who could use the drivers - with SX 100 and CX 100 ISDN bases (only in unimodem mode, see section 2.5.) - If you have another device that works with our driver, please let us know. - - Chances of getting an USB device to work are good if the output of - lsusb - at the command line contains one of the following: - ID 0681:0001 - ID 0681:0002 - ID 0681:0009 - ID 0681:0021 - ID 0681:0022 - -1.2. Software - -------- - The driver works with the Kernel CAPI subsystem as well as the old - ISDN4Linux subsystem, so it can be used with any software which is able - to use CAPI 2.0 or ISDN4Linux for ISDN connections (voice or data). - - There are some user space tools available at - http://sourceforge.net/projects/gigaset307x/ - which provide access to additional device specific functions like SMS, - phonebook or call journal. - - -2. How to use the driver - --------------------- -2.1. Modules - ------- - For the devices to work, the proper kernel modules have to be loaded. - This normally happens automatically when the system detects the USB - device (base, M105) or when the line discipline is attached (M101). It - can also be triggered manually using the modprobe(8) command, for example - for troubleshooting or to pass module parameters. - - The module ser_gigaset provides a serial line discipline N_GIGASET_M101 - which uses the regular serial port driver to access the device, and must - therefore be attached to the serial device to which the M101 is connected. - The ldattach(8) command (included in util-linux-ng release 2.14 or later) - can be used for that purpose, for example: - ldattach GIGASET_M101 /dev/ttyS1 - This will open the device file, attach the line discipline to it, and - then sleep in the background, keeping the device open so that the line - discipline remains active. To deactivate it, kill the daemon, for example - with - killall ldattach - before disconnecting the device. To have this happen automatically at - system startup/shutdown on an LSB compatible system, create and activate - an appropriate LSB startup script /etc/init.d/gigaset. (The init name - 'gigaset' is officially assigned to this project by LANANA.) - Alternatively, just add the 'ldattach' command line to /etc/rc.local. - - The modules accept the following parameters: - - Module Parameter Meaning - - gigaset debug debug level (see section 3.2.) - - startmode initial operation mode (see section 2.5.): - bas_gigaset ) 1=ISDN4linux/CAPI (default), 0=Unimodem - ser_gigaset ) - usb_gigaset ) cidmode initial Call-ID mode setting (see section - 2.5.): 1=on (default), 0=off - - Depending on your distribution you may want to create a separate module - configuration file like /etc/modprobe.d/gigaset.conf for these. - -2.2. Device nodes for user space programs - ------------------------------------ - The device can be accessed from user space (eg. by the user space tools - mentioned in 1.2.) through the device nodes: - - - /dev/ttyGS0 for M101 (RS232 data boxes) - - /dev/ttyGU0 for M105 (USB data boxes) - - /dev/ttyGB0 for the base driver (direct USB connection) - - If you connect more than one device of a type, they will get consecutive - device nodes, eg. /dev/ttyGU1 for a second M105. - - You can also set a "default device" for the user space tools to use when - no device node is given as parameter, by creating a symlink /dev/ttyG to - one of them, eg.: - - ln -s /dev/ttyGB0 /dev/ttyG - - The devices accept the following device specific ioctl calls - (defined in gigaset_dev.h): - - ioctl(int fd, GIGASET_REDIR, int *cmd); - If cmd==1, the device is set to be controlled exclusively through the - character device node; access from the ISDN subsystem is blocked. - If cmd==0, the device is set to be used from the ISDN subsystem and does - not communicate through the character device node. - - ioctl(int fd, GIGASET_CONFIG, int *cmd); - (ser_gigaset and usb_gigaset only) - If cmd==1, the device is set to adapter configuration mode where commands - are interpreted by the M10x DECT adapter itself instead of being - forwarded to the base station. In this mode, the device accepts the - commands described in Siemens document "AT-Kommando Alignment M10x Data" - for setting the operation mode, associating with a base station and - querying parameters like field strengh and signal quality. - Note that there is no ioctl command for leaving adapter configuration - mode and returning to regular operation. In order to leave adapter - configuration mode, write the command ATO to the device. - - ioctl(int fd, GIGASET_BRKCHARS, unsigned char brkchars[6]); - (usb_gigaset only) - Set the break characters on an M105's internal serial adapter to the six - bytes stored in brkchars[]. Unused bytes should be set to zero. - - ioctl(int fd, GIGASET_VERSION, unsigned version[4]); - Retrieve version information from the driver. version[0] must be set to - one of: - - GIGVER_DRIVER: retrieve driver version - - GIGVER_COMPAT: retrieve interface compatibility version - - GIGVER_FWBASE: retrieve the firmware version of the base - Upon return, version[] is filled with the requested version information. - -2.3. CAPI - ---- - If the driver is compiled with CAPI support (kernel configuration option - GIGASET_CAPI) the devices will show up as CAPI controllers as soon as the - corresponding driver module is loaded, and can then be used with CAPI 2.0 - kernel and user space applications. For user space access, the module - capi.ko must be loaded. - - Legacy ISDN4Linux applications are supported via the capidrv - compatibility driver. The kernel module capidrv.ko must be loaded - explicitly with the command - modprobe capidrv - if needed, and cannot be unloaded again without unloading the driver - first. (These are limitations of capidrv.) - - Most distributions handle loading and unloading of the various CAPI - modules automatically via the command capiinit(1) from the capi4k-utils - package or a similar mechanism. Note that capiinit(1) cannot unload the - Gigaset drivers because it doesn't support more than one module per - driver. - -2.4. ISDN4Linux - ---------- - If the driver is compiled without CAPI support (native ISDN4Linux - variant), it registers the device with the legacy ISDN4Linux subsystem - after loading the module. It can then be used with ISDN4Linux - applications only. Most distributions provide some configuration utility - for setting up that subsystem. Otherwise you can use some HOWTOs like - http://www.linuxhaven.de/dlhp/HOWTO/DE-ISDN-HOWTO-5.html - - -2.5. Unimodem mode - ------------- - In this mode the device works like a modem connected to a serial port - (the /dev/ttyGU0, ... mentioned above) which understands the commands - - ATZ init, reset - => OK or ERROR - ATD - ATDT dial - => OK, CONNECT, - BUSY, - NO DIAL TONE, - NO CARRIER, - NO ANSWER - <pause>+++<pause> change to command mode when connected - ATH hangup - - You can use some configuration tool of your distribution to configure this - "modem" or configure pppd/wvdial manually. There are some example ppp - configuration files and chat scripts in the gigaset-VERSION/ppp directory - in the driver packages from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gigaset307x/. - Please note that the USB drivers are not able to change the state of the - control lines. This means you must use "Stupid Mode" if you are using - wvdial or you should use the nocrtscts option of pppd. - You must also assure that the ppp_async module is loaded with the parameter - flag_time=0. You can do this e.g. by adding a line like - - options ppp_async flag_time=0 - - to an appropriate module configuration file, like - /etc/modprobe.d/gigaset.conf. - - Unimodem mode is needed for making some devices [e.g. SX100] work which - do not support the regular Gigaset command set. If debug output (see - section 3.2.) shows something like this when dialing: - CMD Received: ERROR - Available Params: 0 - Connection State: 0, Response: -1 - gigaset_process_response: resp_code -1 in ConState 0 ! - Timeout occurred - then switching to unimodem mode may help. - - If you have installed the command line tool gigacontr, you can enter - unimodem mode using - gigacontr --mode unimodem - You can switch back using - gigacontr --mode isdn - - You can also put the driver directly into Unimodem mode when it's loaded, - by passing the module parameter startmode=0 to the hardware specific - module, e.g. - modprobe usb_gigaset startmode=0 - or by adding a line like - options usb_gigaset startmode=0 - to an appropriate module configuration file, like - /etc/modprobe.d/gigaset.conf - -2.6. Call-ID (CID) mode - ------------------ - Call-IDs are numbers used to tag commands to, and responses from, the - Gigaset base in order to support the simultaneous handling of multiple - ISDN calls. Their use can be enabled ("CID mode") or disabled ("Unimodem - mode"). Without Call-IDs (in Unimodem mode), only a very limited set of - functions is available. It allows outgoing data connections only, but - does not signal incoming calls or other base events. - - DECT cordless data devices (M10x) permanently occupy the cordless - connection to the base while Call-IDs are activated. As the Gigaset - bases only support one DECT data connection at a time, this prevents - other DECT cordless data devices from accessing the base. - - During active operation, the driver switches to the necessary mode - automatically. However, for the reasons above, the mode chosen when - the device is not in use (idle) can be selected by the user. - - If you want to receive incoming calls, you can use the default - settings (CID mode). - - If you have several DECT data devices (M10x) which you want to use - in turn, select Unimodem mode by passing the parameter "cidmode=0" to - the appropriate driver module (ser_gigaset or usb_gigaset). - - If you want both of these at once, you are out of luck. - - You can also use the tty class parameter "cidmode" of the device to - change its CID mode while the driver is loaded, eg. - echo 0 > /sys/class/tty/ttyGU0/cidmode - -2.7. Dialing Numbers - --------------- - The called party number provided by an application for dialing out must - be a public network number according to the local dialing plan, without - any dial prefix for getting an outside line. - - Internal calls can be made by providing an internal extension number - prefixed with "**" (two asterisks) as the called party number. So to dial - eg. the first registered DECT handset, give "**11" as the called party - number. Dialing "***" (three asterisks) calls all extensions - simultaneously (global call). - - This holds for both CAPI 2.0 and ISDN4Linux applications. Unimodem mode - does not support internal calls. - -2.8. Unregistered Wireless Devices (M101/M105) - ----------------------------------------- - The main purpose of the ser_gigaset and usb_gigaset drivers is to allow - the M101 and M105 wireless devices to be used as ISDN devices for ISDN - connections through a Gigaset base. Therefore they assume that the device - is registered to a DECT base. - - If the M101/M105 device is not registered to a base, initialization of - the device fails, and a corresponding error message is logged by the - driver. In that situation, a restricted set of functions is available - which includes, in particular, those necessary for registering the device - to a base or for switching it between Fixed Part and Portable Part - modes. See the gigacontr(8) manpage for details. - -3. Troubleshooting - --------------- -3.1. Solutions to frequently reported problems - ----------------------------------------- - Problem: - You have a slow provider and isdn4linux gives up dialing too early. - Solution: - Load the isdn module using the dialtimeout option. You can do this e.g. - by adding a line like - - options isdn dialtimeout=15 - - to /etc/modprobe.d/gigaset.conf or a similar file. - - Problem: - The isdnlog program emits error messages or just doesn't work. - Solution: - Isdnlog supports only the HiSax driver. Do not attempt to use it with - other drivers such as Gigaset. - - Problem: - You have two or more DECT data adapters (M101/M105) and only the - first one you turn on works. - Solution: - Select Unimodem mode for all DECT data adapters. (see section 2.5.) - - Problem: - Messages like this: - usb_gigaset 3-2:1.0: Could not initialize the device. - appear in your syslog. - Solution: - Check whether your M10x wireless device is correctly registered to the - Gigaset base. (see section 2.7.) - -3.2. Telling the driver to provide more information - ---------------------------------------------- - Building the driver with the "Gigaset debugging" kernel configuration - option (CONFIG_GIGASET_DEBUG) gives it the ability to produce additional - information useful for debugging. - - You can control the amount of debugging information the driver produces by - writing an appropriate value to /sys/module/gigaset/parameters/debug, e.g. - echo 0 > /sys/module/gigaset/parameters/debug - switches off debugging output completely, - echo 0x302020 > /sys/module/gigaset/parameters/debug - enables a reasonable set of debugging output messages. These values are - bit patterns where every bit controls a certain type of debugging output. - See the constants DEBUG_* in the source file gigaset.h for details. - - The initial value can be set using the debug parameter when loading the - module "gigaset", e.g. by adding a line - options gigaset debug=0 - to your module configuration file, eg. /etc/modprobe.d/gigaset.conf - - Generated debugging information can be found - - as output of the command - dmesg - - in system log files written by your syslog daemon, usually - in /var/log/, e.g. /var/log/messages. - -3.3. Reporting problems and bugs - --------------------------- - If you can't solve problems with the driver on your own, feel free to - use one of the forums, bug trackers, or mailing lists on - http://sourceforge.net/projects/gigaset307x - or write an electronic mail to the maintainers. - - Try to provide as much information as possible, such as - - distribution - - kernel version (uname -r) - - gcc version (gcc --version) - - hardware architecture (uname -m, ...) - - type and firmware version of your device (base and wireless module, - if any) - - output of "lsusb -v" (if using an USB device) - - error messages - - relevant system log messages (it would help if you activate debug - output as described in 3.2.) - - For help with general configuration problems not specific to our driver, - such as isdn4linux and network configuration issues, please refer to the - appropriate forums and newsgroups. - -3.4. Reporting problem solutions - --------------------------- - If you solved a problem with our drivers, wrote startup scripts for your - distribution, ... feel free to contact us (using one of the places - mentioned in 3.3.). We'd like to add scripts, hints, documentation - to the driver and/or the project web page. - - -4.
