1.2. Software
--------
- The driver works with ISDN4linux and so can be used with any software
- which is able to use ISDN4linux for ISDN connections (voice or data).
- Experimental Kernel CAPI support is available as a compilation option.
+ 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/
- GIGVER_FWBASE: retrieve the firmware version of the base
Upon return, version[] is filled with the requested version information.
-2.3. ISDN4linux
- ----------
- This is the "normal" mode of operation. After loading the module you can
- set up the ISDN system just as you'd do with any ISDN card supported by
- the ISDN4Linux subsystem. Most distributions provide some configuration
- utility. If not, you can use some HOWTOs like
- http://www.linuxhaven.de/dlhp/HOWTO/DE-ISDN-HOWTO-5.html
- If this doesn't work, because you have some device like SX100 where
- 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
- you probably need to use unimodem mode. (see section 2.5.)
-
-2.4. CAPI
+2.3. CAPI
----
If the driver is compiled with CAPI support (kernel configuration option
- GIGASET_CAPI, experimental) it can also be used with CAPI 2.0 kernel and
- user space applications. For user space access, the module capi.ko must
- be loaded. The capiinit command (included in the capi4k-utils package)
- does this for you.
-
- The CAPI variant of the driver supports legacy ISDN4Linux applications
- via the capidrv compatibility driver. The kernel module capidrv.ko must
- be loaded explicitly with the command
+ 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.)
- The note about unimodem mode in the preceding section applies here, too.
-
-2.5. Unimodem mode
- -------------
- This is needed for some devices [e.g. SX100] as they have problems with
- the "normal" commands.
+ 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.
- 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
+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
- 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
- or /etc/modprobe.conf.local.
+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
to an appropriate module configuration file, like /etc/modprobe.d/gigaset
or /etc/modprobe.conf.local.
+ 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
+ or /etc/modprobe.conf.local.
+
2.6. Call-ID (CID) mode
------------------
Call-IDs are numbers used to tag commands to, and responses from, the
change its CID mode while the driver is loaded, eg.
echo 0 > /sys/class/tty/ttyGU0/cidmode
-2.7. Unregistered Wireless Devices (M101/M105)
+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
