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 ------- |
c69c6d107 gigaset: document... |
64 65 66 67 68 |
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. |
2869b23e4 [PATCH] drivers/i... |
69 70 |
The module ser_gigaset provides a serial line discipline N_GIGASET_M101 |
64f16603e gigaset: document... |
71 72 73 74 75 |
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 |
c69c6d107 gigaset: document... |
76 77 78 79 |
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 |
64f16603e gigaset: document... |
80 |
killall ldattach |
c69c6d107 gigaset: document... |
81 82 83 84 85 |
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 /etc/modprobe.d/gigaset for these, or add them to a custom file like /etc/modprobe.conf.local. |
27d1ac2ef [PATCH] isdn4linu... |
102 103 104 105 |
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: |
2869b23e4 [PATCH] drivers/i... |
106 |
- /dev/ttyGS0 for M101 (RS232 data boxes) |
27d1ac2ef [PATCH] isdn4linu... |
107 108 |
- /dev/ttyGU0 for M105 (USB data boxes) - /dev/ttyGB0 for the base driver (direct USB connection) |
64f16603e gigaset: document... |
109 110 111 112 |
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 |
27d1ac2ef [PATCH] isdn4linu... |
113 114 |
no device node is given as parameter, by creating a symlink /dev/ttyG to one of them, eg.: |
64f16603e gigaset: document... |
115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 |
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 |
7bb5fdc2f gigaset: add Kern... |
152 153 |
---- If the driver is compiled with CAPI support (kernel configuration option |

154 155 156 157 158 159 160 161 |
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 |
64f16603e gigaset: document... |
162 163 164 |
modprobe capidrv if needed, and cannot be unloaded again without unloading the driver first. (These are limitations of capidrv.) |
d9bed6bbd isdn/gigaset: rem... |
165 166 167 168 169 |
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. |

171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 |
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 |

202 |
Please note that the USB drivers are not able to change the state of the |

27d1ac2ef [PATCH] isdn4linu... |
205 206 207 208 |
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 |
64f16603e gigaset: document... |
209 210 |
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 |
27d1ac2ef [PATCH] isdn4linu... |
237 238 239 240 241 242 243 244 245 246 247 248 249 250 251 252 253 254 255 256 |
------------------ 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 |
64f16603e gigaset: document... |
257 |
the appropriate driver module (ser_gigaset or usb_gigaset). |
27d1ac2ef [PATCH] isdn4linu... |
258 259 |
If you want both of these at once, you are out of luck. |
64f16603e gigaset: document... |
260 261 262 |
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) |

280 281 282 283 284 285 286 287 288 289 290 |
----------------------------------------- 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 |

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, |
2ac2ed5f2 gigaset: small do... |
336 337 |
echo 0x302020 > /sys/module/gigaset/parameters/debug enables a reasonable set of debugging output messages. These values are |
27d1ac2ef [PATCH] isdn4linu... |
338 339 340 341 342 343 |
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 |
64f16603e gigaset: document... |

to your module configuration file, eg. /etc/modprobe.d/gigaset or /etc/modprobe.conf.local. |

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.
