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 2.4.)
If you have another device that works with our driver, please let us know.
- For example, Gigaset SX205isdn/Sinus 721 X SE and Gigaset SX303isdn bases
- are just versions without answering machine of models known to work, so
- they should work just as well; but so far we are lacking positive reports
- on these.

---------------------
2.1. Modules
-------
- To get the device working, you have to load the proper kernel module. You
- can do this using
- modprobe modulename
- where modulename is usb_gigaset (M105) or bas_gigaset (direct USB
- connection to the base).
+ 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 drives the device through the regular serial line driver. It must
+ be attached to the serial line to which the M101 is connected with the
+ ldattach(8) command (requires util-linux-ng release 2.14 or later), 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.
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)
You can also use /sys/class/tty/ttyGxy/cidmode for changing the CID mode
setting (ttyGxy is ttyGU0 or ttyGB0).
+2.6. M105 Undocumented USB Requests
+ ------------------------------
+
+ The Gigaset M105 USB data box understands a couple of useful, but
+ undocumented USB commands. These requests are not used in normal
+ operation (for wireless access to the base), but are needed for access
+ to the M105's own configuration mode (registration to the base, baudrate
+ and line format settings, device status queries) via the gigacontr
+ utility. Their use is controlled by the kernel configuration option
+ "Support for undocumented USB requests" (CONFIG_GIGASET_UNDOCREQ). If you
+ encounter error code -ENOTTY when trying to use some features of the
+ M105, try setting that option to "y" via 'make {x,menu}config' and
+ recompiling the driver.
+
3. Troubleshooting
---------------
Solution:
Select Unimodem mode for all DECT data adapters. (see section 2.4.)
+ Problem:
+ You want to configure your USB DECT data adapter (M105) but gigacontr
+ reports an error: "/dev/ttyGU0: Inappropriate ioctl for device".
+ Solution:
+ Recompile the usb_gigaset driver with the kernel configuration option
+ CONFIG_GIGASET_UNDOCREQ set to 'y'. (see section 2.6.)
+
3.2. Telling the driver to provide more information
