Overview + +From the CAPI 2.0 specification: +COMMON-ISDN-API (CAPI) is an application programming interface standard used +to access ISDN equipment connected to basic rate interfaces (BRI) and primary +rate interfaces (PRI). + +Kernel CAPI operates as a dispatching layer between CAPI applications and CAPI +hardware drivers. Hardware drivers register ISDN devices (controllers, in CAPI +lingo) with Kernel CAPI to indicate their readiness to provide their service +to CAPI applications. CAPI applications also register with Kernel CAPI, +requesting association with a CAPI device. Kernel CAPI then dispatches the +application registration to an available device, forwarding it to the +corresponding hardware driver. Kernel CAPI then forwards CAPI messages in both +directions between the application and the hardware driver. + +Format and semantics of CAPI messages are specified in the CAPI 2.0 standard. +This standard is freely available from http://www.capi.org. + + +2. Driver and Device Registration + +CAPI drivers optionally register themselves with Kernel CAPI by calling the +Kernel CAPI function register_capi_driver() with a pointer to a struct +capi_driver. This structure must be filled with the name and revision of the +driver, and optionally a pointer to a callback function, add_card(). The +registration can be revoked by calling the function unregister_capi_driver() +with a pointer to the same struct capi_driver. + +CAPI drivers must register each of the ISDN devices they control with Kernel +CAPI by calling the Kernel CAPI function attach_capi_ctr() with a pointer to a +struct capi_ctr before they can be used. This structure must be filled with +the names of the driver and controller, and a number of callback function +pointers which are subsequently used by Kernel CAPI for communicating with the +driver. The registration can be revoked by calling the function +detach_capi_ctr() with a pointer to the same struct capi_ctr. + +Before the device can be actually used, the driver must fill in the device +information fields 'manu', 'version', 'profile' and 'serial' in the capi_ctr +structure of the device, and signal its readiness by calling capi_ctr_ready(). +From then on, Kernel CAPI may call the registered callback functions for the +device. + +If the device becomes unusable for any reason (shutdown, disconnect ...), the +driver has to call capi_ctr_down(). This will prevent further calls to the +callback functions by Kernel CAPI. + + +3. Application Registration and Communication + +Kernel CAPI forwards registration requests from applications (calls to CAPI +operation CAPI_REGISTER) to an appropriate hardware driver by calling its +register_appl() callback function. A unique Application ID (ApplID, u16) is +allocated by Kernel CAPI and passed to register_appl() along with the +parameter structure provided by the application. This is analogous to the +open() operation on regular files or character devices. + +After a successful return from register_appl(), CAPI messages from the +application may be passed to the driver for the device via calls to the +send_message() callback function. Conversely, the driver may call Kernel +CAPI's capi_ctr_handle_message() function to pass a received CAPI message to +Kernel CAPI for forwarding to an application, specifying its ApplID. + +Deregistration requests (CAPI operation CAPI_RELEASE) from applications are +forwarded as calls to the release_appl() callback function, passing the same +ApplID as with register_appl(). After return from release_appl(), no CAPI +messages for that application may be passed to or from the device anymore. + + +4. Data Structures + +4.1 struct capi_driver + +This structure describes a Kernel CAPI driver itself. It is used in the +register_capi_driver() and unregister_capi_driver() functions, and contains +the following non-private fields, all to be set by the driver before calling +register_capi_driver(): + +char name[32] + the name of the driver, as a zero-terminated ASCII string +char revision[32] + the revision number of the driver, as a zero-terminated ASCII string +int (*add_card)(struct capi_driver *driver, capicardparams *data) + a callback function pointer (may be NULL) + + +4.2 struct capi_ctr + +This structure describes an ISDN device (controller) handled by a Kernel CAPI +driver.

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[].

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.).
