isdn: remove isdn4linux
With all isdn4linux hardware drivers gone, this is only a wrapper around CAPI to support old user space. However, from looking at the mailing list, it seems that the last time anyone asked about it was in 2014, when the upgrade from a linux-2.4 installation failed, and mISDN was suggested as a replacement. The largest public ISDN network (Deutsche Telekom) was supposed to be shut down 2018, which must have drastically reduced the number of legacy installations. When we last discussed removing i4l in 2016, Karsten Keil suggested revisiting this in 2018. I guess this is overdue.

-$Id: INTERFACE,v 1.15.8.2 2001/03/13 16:17:07 kai Exp $
-
-Description of the Interface between Linklevel and Hardwarelevel
- of isdn4linux:
-
-
- The Communication between Linklevel (LL) and Hardwarelevel (HL)
- is based on the struct isdn_if (defined in isdnif.h).
-
- An HL-driver can register itself at LL by calling the function
- register_isdn() with a pointer to that struct. Prior to that, it has
- to preset some of the fields of isdn_if. The LL sets the rest of
- the fields. All further communication is done via callbacks using
- the function-pointers defined in isdn_if.
-
- Changes/Version numbering:
-
- During development of the ISDN subsystem, several changes have been
- made to the interface. Before it went into kernel, the package
- had a unique version number. The last version, distributed separately
- was 0.7.4. When the subsystem went into kernel, every functional unit
- got a separate version number. These numbers are shown at initialization,
- separated by slashes:
-
- c.c/t.t/n.n/p.p/a.a/v.v
-
- where
-
- c.c is the revision of the common code.
- t.t is the revision of the tty related code.
- n.n is the revision of the network related code.
- p.p is the revision of the ppp related code.
- a.a is the revision of the audio related code.
- v.v is the revision of the V.110 related code.
-
- Changes in this document are marked with '***CHANGEx' where x representing
- the version number. If that number starts with 0, it refers to the old,
- separately distributed package. If it starts with one of the letters
- above, it refers to the revision of the corresponding module.
- ***CHANGEIx refers to the revision number of the isdnif.h
-
-1. Description of the fields of isdn_if:
-
- int channels;
-
- This field has to be set by the HL-driver to the number of channels
- supported prior to calling register_isdn(). Upon return of the call,
- the LL puts an id there, which has to be used by the HL-driver when
- invoking the other callbacks.
-
- int maxbufsize;
-
- ***CHANGE0.6: New since this version.
-
- Also to be preset by the HL-driver. With this value the HL-driver
- tells the LL the maximum size of a data-packet it will accept.
-
- unsigned long features;
-
- To be preset by the HL-driver. Using this field, the HL-driver
- announces the features supported. At the moment this is limited to
- report the supported layer2 and layer3-protocols. For setting this
- field the constants ISDN_FEATURE..., declared in isdnif.h have to be
- used.
-
- ***CHANGE0.7.1: The line type (1TR6, EDSS1) has to be set.
-
- unsigned short hl_hdrlen;
-
- ***CHANGE0.7.4: New field.
-
- To be preset by the HL-driver, if it supports sk_buff's. The driver
- should put here the amount of additional space needed in sk_buff's for
- its internal purposes. Drivers not supporting sk_buff's should
- initialize this field to 0.
-
- void (*rcvcallb_skb)(int, int, struct sk_buff *)
-
- ***CHANGE0.7.4: New field.
-
- This field will be set by LL. The HL-driver delivers received data-
- packets by calling this function. Upon calling, the HL-driver must
- already have its private data pulled off the head of the sk_buff.
-
- Parameter:
- int driver-Id
- int Channel-number locally to the driver. (starting with 0)
- struct sk_buff * Pointer to sk_buff, containing received data.
-
- int (*statcallb)(isdn_ctrl*);
-
- This field will be set by LL. This function has to be called by the
- HL-driver for signaling status-changes or other events to the LL.
-
- Parameter:
- isdn_ctrl*
-
- The struct isdn_ctrl also defined in isdn_if. The exact meanings of its
- fields are described together with the descriptions of the possible
- events. Here is only a short description of the fields:
-
- driver = driver Id.
- command = event-type. (one of the constants ISDN_STAT_...)
- arg = depends on event-type.
- num = depends on event-type.
-
- Returnvalue:
- 0 on success, else -1
-
- int (*command)(isdn_ctrl*);
-
- This field has to be preset by the HL-driver. It points to a function,
- to be called by LL to perform functions like dialing, B-channel
- setup, etc. The exact meaning of the parameters is described with the
- descriptions of the possible commands.
-
- Parameter:
- isdn_ctrl*
- driver = driver-Id
- command = command to perform. (one of the constants ISDN_CMD_...)
- arg = depends on command.
- num = depends on command.
-
- Returnvalue:
- >=0 on success, else error-code (-ENODEV etc.)
-
- int (*writebuf_skb)(int, int, int, struct sk_buff *)
-
- ***CHANGE0.7.4: New field.
- ***CHANGEI.1.21: New field.
-
- This field has to be preset by the HL-driver. The given function will
- be called by the LL for delivering data to be send via B-Channel.
-
-
- Parameter:
- int driver-Id ***CHANGE0.7.4: New parameter.
- int channel-number locally to the HL-driver. (starts with 0)
- int ack ***ChangeI1.21: New parameter
- If this is !0, the driver has to signal the delivery
- by sending an ISDN_STAT_BSENT. If this is 0, the driver
- MUST NOT send an ISDN_STAT_BSENT.
- struct sk_buff * Pointer to sk_buff containing data to be send via
- B-channel.
-
- Returnvalue:
- Length of data accepted on success, else error-code (-EINVAL on
- oversized packets etc.)
-
- int (*writecmd)(u_char*, int, int, int, int);
-
- This field has to be preset by the HL-driver. The given function will be
- called to perform write-requests on /dev/isdnctrl (i.e. sending commands
- to the card) The data-format is hardware-specific. This function is
- intended for debugging only. It is not necessary for normal operation
- and never will be called by the tty-emulation- or network-code. If
- this function is not supported, the driver has to set NULL here.
-
- Parameter:
- u_char* pointer to data.
- int length of data.
- int flag: 0 = call from within kernel-space. (HL-driver must use
- memcpy, may NOT use schedule())
- 1 = call from user-space. (HL-driver must use
- memcpy_fromfs, use of schedule() allowed)
- int driver-Id.
- int channel-number locally to the HL-driver. (starts with 0)
-
-***CHANGEI1.14: The driver-Id and channel-number are new since this revision.
-
- Returnvalue:
- Length of data accepted on success, else error-code (-EINVAL etc.)
-
- int (*readstat)(u_char*, int, int, int, int);
-
- This field has to be preset by the HL-driver. The given function will be
- called to perform read-requests on /dev/isdnctrl (i.e. reading replies
- from the card) The data-format is hardware-specific. This function is
- intended for debugging only. It is not necessary for normal operation
- and never will be called by the tty-emulation- or network-code. If
- this function is not supported, the driver has to set NULL here.
-
- Parameter:
- u_char* pointer to data.
- int length of data.
- int flag: 0 = call from within kernel-space. (HL-driver must use
- memcpy, may NOT use schedule())
- 1 = call from user-space. (HL-driver must use
- memcpy_fromfs, use of schedule() allowed)
- int driver-Id.
- int channel-number locally to the HL-driver. (starts with 0)
-
-***CHANGEI1.14: The driver-Id and channel-number are new since this revision.
-
- Returnvalue:
- Length of data on success, else error-code (-EINVAL etc.)
-
- char id[20];
- ***CHANGE0.7: New since this version.
-
- This string has to be preset by the HL-driver. Its purpose is for
- identification of the driver by the user. Eg.: it is shown in the
- status-info of /dev/isdninfo. Furthermore it is used as Id for binding
- net-interfaces to a specific channel. If a string of length zero is
- given, upon return, isdn4linux will replace it by a generic name. (line0,
- line1 etc.) It is recommended to make this string configurable during
- module-load-time. (copy a global variable to this string.) For doing that,
- modules 1.2.8 or newer are necessary.
-
-2. Description of the commands, a HL-driver has to support:
-
- All commands will be performed by calling the function command() described
- above from within the LL. The field command of the struct-parameter will
- contain the desired command, the field driver is always set to the
- appropriate driver-Id.
-
- Until now, the following commands are defined:
-
-***CHANGEI1.34: The parameter "num" has been replaced by a union "parm" containing
- the old "num" and a new setup_type struct used for ISDN_CMD_DIAL
- and ISDN_STAT_ICALL callback.
-
- ISDN_CMD_IOCTL:
-
- This command is intended for performing ioctl-calls for configuring
- hardware or similar purposes (setting port-addresses, loading firmware
- etc.) For this purpose, in the LL all ioctl-calls with an argument
- >= IIOCDRVCTL (0x100) will be handed transparently to this
- function after subtracting 0x100 and placing the result in arg.
- Example:
- If a userlevel-program calls ioctl(0x101,...) the function gets
- called with the field command set to 1.
-
- Parameter:
- driver = driver-Id.
- command = ISDN_CMD_IOCTL
- arg = Original ioctl-cmd - IIOCDRVCTL
- parm.num = first bytes filled with (unsigned long)arg

- the driver has to set this to the original length
- of the skb at the time of receiving it from the linklevel.
-
- ISDN_STAT_NODCH:
-
- With this call, the driver has to respond to a prior ISDN_CMD_DIAL, if
- no D-Channel is available.
-
- Parameter:
- driver = driver-Id
- command = ISDN_STAT_NODCH
- arg = channel-number, locally to the driver. (starting with 0)
- parm = unused.
-
- ISDN_STAT_ADDCH:
-
- This call is for HL-drivers, which are unable to check card-type
- or numbers of supported channels before they have loaded any firmware
- using ioctl. Those HL-driver simply set the channel-parameter to a
- minimum channel-number when registering, and later if they know
- the real amount, perform this call, allocating additional channels.
-
- Parameter:
- driver = driver-Id
- command = ISDN_STAT_ADDCH
- arg = number of channels to be added.
- parm = unused.
-
- ISDN_STAT_CAUSE:
-
- With this call, the HL-driver delivers CAUSE-messages to the LL.
- Currently the LL does not use this messages. Their contents is simply
- logged via kernel-messages. Therefore, currently the format of the
- messages is completely free. However they should be printable.
-
- Parameter:
- driver = driver-Id
- command = ISDN_STAT_NODCH
- arg = channel-number, locally to the driver. (starting with 0)
- parm.num = ASCII string containing CAUSE-message.
-
- ISDN_STAT_DISPLAY:
-
- With this call, the HL-driver delivers DISPLAY-messages to the LL.
- Currently the LL does not use this messages.
-
- Parameter:
- driver = driver-Id
- command = ISDN_STAT_DISPLAY
- arg = channel-number, locally to the driver. (starting with 0)
- para.display= string containing DISPLAY-message.
-
- ISDN_STAT_PROT:
-
- With this call, the HL-driver delivers protocol specific infos to the LL.
- The call is not implicitely bound to a connection.
-
- Parameter:
- driver = driver-Id
- command = ISDN_STAT_PROT
- arg = The lower 8 Bits define the addressed protocol as defined
- in ISDN_PTYPE..., the upper bits are used to differentiate
- the protocol specific STAT.
-
- para = protocol and function specific. See isdnif.h for detail.
-
- ISDN_STAT_DISCH:
-
- With this call, the HL-driver signals the LL to disable or enable the
- use of supplied channel and driver.
- The call may be used to reduce the available number of B-channels after
- loading the driver. The LL has to ignore a disabled channel when searching
- for free channels. The HL driver itself never delivers STAT callbacks for
- disabled channels.
- The LL returns a nonzero code if the operation was not successful or the
- selected channel is actually regarded as busy.
-
- Parameter:
- driver = driver-Id
- command = ISDN_STAT_DISCH
- arg = channel-number, locally to the driver. (starting with 0)
- parm.num[0] = 0 if channel shall be disabled, else enabled.
-
- ISDN_STAT_L1ERR:
-
- ***CHANGEI1.21 new status message.
- A signal can be sent to the linklevel if an Layer1-error results in
- packet-loss on receive or send. The field errcode of the cmd.parm
- union describes the error more precisely.
-
- Parameter:
- driver = driver-Id
- command = ISDN_STAT_L1ERR
- arg = channel-number, locally to the driver. (starting with 0)
- parm.errcode= ISDN_STAT_L1ERR_SEND: Packet lost while sending.

- For details refer to INTERFACE.fax
-
- Parameter:
- driver = driver-Id.
- command = ISDN_STAT_FAXIND
- arg = channel-number, locally to the driver. (starting with 0)

-
-Description of the fax-subinterface between linklevel and hardwarelevel of
- isdn4linux.
-
- The communication between linklevel (LL) and hardwarelevel (HL) for fax
- is based on the struct T30_s (defined in isdnif.h).
- This struct is allocated in the LL.
- In order to use fax, the LL provides the pointer to this struct with the
- command ISDN_CMD_SETL3 (parm.fax). This pointer expires in case of hangup
- and when a new channel to a new connection is assigned.
-
-
-Data handling:
- In send-mode the HL-driver has to handle the <DLE> codes and the bit-order
- conversion by itself.
- In receive-mode the LL-driver takes care of the bit-order conversion
- (specified by +FBOR)
-
-Structure T30_s description:
-
- This structure stores the values (set by AT-commands), the remote-
- capability-values and the command-codes between LL and HL.
-
- If the HL-driver receives ISDN_CMD_FAXCMD, all needed information
- is in this struct set by the LL.
- To signal information to the LL, the HL-driver has to set the
- parameters and use ISDN_STAT_FAXIND.
- (Please refer to INTERFACE)
-
-Structure T30_s:
-
- All members are 8-bit unsigned (__u8)
-
- - resolution
- - rate
- - width

- - r_length
- - r_compression
- - r_ecm
- - r_binary
- - r_scantime
- - r_id[]
- Remote faxmachine's parameters. To be set by HL-driver.
-
- - phase
- Defines the actual state of fax connection. Set by HL or LL
- depending on progress and type of connection.
- If the phase changes because of an AT command, the LL driver
- changes this value. Otherwise the HL-driver takes care of it, but
- only necessary on call establishment (from IDLE to PHASE_A).
- (one of the constants ISDN_FAX_PHASE_[IDLE,A,B,C,D,E])

-README for the ISDN-subsystem
-
-1. Preface
-
- 1.1 Introduction
-
- This README describes how to set up and how to use the different parts
- of the ISDN-subsystem.
-
- For using the ISDN-subsystem, some additional userlevel programs are
- necessary. Those programs and some contributed utilities are available
- at
-
- ftp.isdn4linux.de
-
- /pub/isdn4linux/isdn4k-utils-<VersionNumber>.tar.gz
-
-
- We also have set up a mailing-list:
-
- The isdn4linux-project originates in Germany, and therefore by historical
- reasons, the mailing-list's primary language is german. However mails
- written in english have been welcome all the time.
-
- to subscribe: write a email to majordomo@listserv.isdn4linux.de,
- Subject irrelevant, in the message body:
- subscribe isdn4linux <your_email_address>
-
- To write to the mailing-list, write to isdn4linux@listserv.isdn4linux.de
-
- This mailinglist is bidirectionally gated to the newsgroup
-
- de.alt.comm.isdn4linux
-
- There is also a well maintained FAQ in English available at
- https://www.mhessler.de/i4lfaq/
- It can be viewed online, or downloaded in sgml/text/html format.
- The FAQ can also be viewed online at
- https://www.isdn4linux.de/faq/i4lfaq.html
- or downloaded from
- ftp://ftp.isdn4linux.de/pub/isdn4linux/FAQ/
-
- 1.1 Technical details
-
- In the following Text, the terms MSN and EAZ are used.
-
- MSN is the abbreviation for (M)ultiple(S)ubscriber(N)umber, and applies
- to Euro(EDSS1)-type lines. Usually it is simply the phone number.
-
- EAZ is the abbreviation of (E)ndgeraete(A)uswahl(Z)iffer and
- applies to German 1TR6-type lines. This is a one-digit string,
- simply appended to the base phone number
-
- The internal handling is nearly identical, so replace the appropriate
- term to that one, which applies to your local ISDN-environment.
-
- When the link-level-module isdn.o is loaded, it supports up to 16
- low-level-modules with up to 64 channels. (The number 64 is arbitrarily
- chosen and can be configured at compile-time --ISDN_MAX in isdn.h).
- A low-level-driver can register itself through an interface (which is
- defined in isdnif.h) and gets assigned a slot.
- The following char-devices are made available for each channel:
-
- A raw-control-device with the following functions:
- write: raw D-channel-messages (format: depends on driver).
- read: raw D-channel-messages (format: depends on driver).
- ioctl: depends on driver, i.e. for the ICN-driver, the base-address of
- the ports and the shared memory on the card can be set and read
- also the boot-code and the protocol software can be loaded into
- the card.
-
- O N L Y !!! for debugging (no locking against other devices):
- One raw-data-device with the following functions:
- write: data to B-channel.
- read: data from B-channel.
-
- In addition the following devices are made available:
-
- 128 tty-devices (64 cuix and 64 ttyIx) with integrated modem-emulator:
- The functionality is almost the same as that of a serial device
- (the line-discs are handled by the kernel), which lets you run
- SLIP, CSLIP and asynchronous PPP through the devices. We have tested
- Seyon, minicom, CSLIP (uri-dip) PPP, mgetty, XCept and Hylafax.
-
- The modem-emulation supports the following:
- 1.3.1 Commands:
-
- ATA Answer incoming call.
- ATD<No.> Dial, the number may contain:
- [0-9] and [,#.*WPT-S]
- the latter are ignored until 'S'.
- The 'S' must precede the number, if
- the line is a SPV (German 1TR6).
- ATE0 Echo off.
- ATE1 Echo on (default).
- ATH Hang-up.
- ATH1 Off hook (ignored).
- ATH0 Hang-up.
- ATI Return "ISDN for Linux...".
- ATI0 "
- ATI1 "
- ATI2 Report of last connection.
- ATO On line (data mode).
- ATQ0 Enable result codes (default).
- ATQ1 Disable result codes (default).
- ATSx=y Set register x to y.
- ATSx? Show contents of register x.
- ATV0 Numeric responses.
- ATV1 English responses (default).
- ATZ Load registers and EAZ/MSN from Profile.
- AT&Bx Set Send-Packet-size to x (max. 4000)
- The real packet-size may be limited by the
- low-level-driver used. e.g. the HiSax-Module-
- limit is 2000. You will get NO Error-Message,
- if you set it to higher values, because at the
- time of giving this command the corresponding
- driver may not be selected (see "Automatic
- Assignment") however the size of outgoing packets
- will be limited correctly.
- AT&D0 Ignore DTR
- AT&D2 DTR-low-edge: Hang up and return to
- command mode (default).
- AT&D3 Same as AT&D2 but also resets all registers.
- AT&Ex Set the EAZ/MSN for this channel to x.
- AT&F Reset all registers and profile to "factory-defaults"
- AT&Lx Set list of phone numbers to listen on. x is a
- list of wildcard patterns separated by semicolon.
- If this is set, it has precedence over the MSN set
- by AT&E.
- AT&Rx Select V.110 bitrate adaption.
- This command enables V.110 protocol with 9600 baud
- (x=9600), 19200 baud (x=19200) or 38400 baud
- (x=38400). A value of x=0 disables V.110 switching
- back to default X.75. This command sets the following
- Registers:
- Reg 14 (Layer-2 protocol):
- x = 0: 0
- x = 9600: 7
- x = 19200: 8
- x = 38400: 9
- Reg 18.2 = 1
- Reg 19 (Additional Service Indicator):
- x = 0: 0
- x = 9600: 197
- x = 19200: 199
- x = 38400: 198
- Note on value in Reg 19:
- There is _NO_ common convention for 38400 baud.
- The value 198 is chosen arbitrarily. Users
- _MUST_ negotiate this value before establishing
- a connection.
- AT&Sx Set window-size (x = 1..8) (not yet implemented)
- AT&V Show all settings.
- AT&W0 Write registers and EAZ/MSN to profile. See also
- iprofd (5.c in this README).
- AT&X0 BTX-mode and T.70-mode off (default)
- AT&X1 BTX-mode on. (S13.1=1, S13.5=0 S14=0, S16=7, S18=7, S19=0)
- AT&X2 T.70-mode on. (S13.1=1, S13.5=1, S14=0, S16=7, S18=7, S19=0)
- AT+Rx Resume a suspended call with CallID x (x = 1,2,3...)
- AT+Sx Suspend a call with CallID x (x = 1,2,3...)
-
- For voice-mode commands refer to README.audio
-
- 1.3.2 Escape sequence:
- During a connection, the emulation reacts just like
- a normal modem to the escape sequence <DELAY>+++<DELAY>.
- (The escape character - default '+' - can be set in the
- register 2).
- The DELAY must at least be 1.5 seconds long and delay
- between the escape characters must not exceed 0.5 seconds.

-
- Last but not least a (at the moment fairly primitive) device to request
- the line-status (/dev/isdninfo) is made available.
-
- Automatic assignment of devices to lines:
-
- All inactive physical lines are listening to all EAZs for incoming
- calls and are NOT assigned to a specific tty or network interface.
- When an incoming call is detected, the driver looks first for a network
- interface and then for an opened tty which:
-
- 1. is configured for the same EAZ.
- 2. has the same protocol settings for the B-channel.
- 3. (only for network interfaces if the security flag is set)
- contains the caller number in its access list.
- 4. Either the channel is not bound exclusively to another Net-interface, or
- it is bound AND the other checks apply to exactly this interface.
- (For usage of the bind-features, refer to the isdnctrl-man-page)
-
- Only when a matching interface or tty is found is the call accepted
- and the "connection" between the low-level-layer and the link-level-layer
- is established and kept until the end of the connection.
- In all other cases no connection is established. Isdn4linux can be
- configured to either do NOTHING in this case (which is useful, if
- other, external devices with the same EAZ/MSN are connected to the bus)
- or to reject the call actively. (isdnctrl busreject ...)
-
- For an outgoing call, the inactive physical lines are searched.
- The call is placed on the first physical line, which supports the
- requested protocols for the B-channel. If a net-interface, however
- is pre-bound to a channel, this channel is used directly.
-
- This makes it possible to configure several network interfaces and ttys
- for one EAZ, if the network interfaces are set to secure operation.
- If an incoming call matches one network interface, it gets connected to it.
- If another incoming call for the same EAZ arrives, which does not match
- a network interface, the first tty gets a "RING" and so on.
-
-2 System prerequisites:
-
- ATTENTION!
-
- Always use the latest module utilities. The current version is
- named in Documentation/Changes. Some old versions of insmod
- are not capable of setting the driver-Ids correctly.
-
-3. Lowlevel-driver configuration.
-
- Configuration depends on how the drivers are built. See the
- README.<yourDriver> for information on driver-specific setup.
-
-4. Device-inodes
-
- The major and minor numbers and their names are described in
- Documentation/admin-guide/devices.rst. The major numbers are:
-
- 43 for the ISDN-tty's.
- 44 for the ISDN-callout-tty's.
- 45 for control/info/debug devices.
-
-5. Application
-
- a) For some card-types, firmware has to be loaded into the cards, before
- proceeding with device-independent setup. See README.<yourDriver>
- for how to do that.
-
- b) If you only intend to use ttys, you are nearly ready now.
-
- c) If you want to have really permanent "Modem"-settings on disk, you
- can start the daemon iprofd. Give it a path to a file at the command-
- line. It will store the profile-settings in this file every time
- an AT&W0 is performed on any ISDN-tty. If the file already exists,
- all profiles are initialized from this file. If you want to unload
- any of the modules, kill iprofd first.
-
- d) For networking, continue: Create an interface:
- isdnctrl addif isdn0
-
- e) Set the EAZ (or MSN for Euro-ISDN):
- isdnctrl eaz isdn0 2
-
- (For 1TR6 a single digit is allowed, for Euro-ISDN the number is your
- real MSN e.g.: Phone-Number)
-
- f) Set the number for outgoing calls on the interface:
- isdnctrl addphone isdn0 out 1234567
- ... (this can be executed more than once, all assigned numbers are
- tried in order)
- and the number(s) for incoming calls:
- isdnctrl addphone isdn0 in 1234567
-
- g) Set the timeout for hang-up:
- isdnctrl huptimeout isdn0 <timeout_in_seconds>
-
- h) additionally you may activate charge-hang-up (= Hang up before
- next charge-info, this only works, if your isdn-provider transmits
- the charge-info during and after the connection):
- isdnctrl chargehup isdn0 on
-
- i) Set the dial mode of the interface:
- isdnctrl dialmode isdn0 auto
- "off" means that you (or the system) cannot make any connection
- (neither incoming or outgoing connections are possible). Use
- this if you want to be sure that no connections will be made.
- "auto" means that the interface is in auto-dial mode, and will
- attempt to make a connection whenever a network data packet needs
- the interface's link. Note that this can cause unexpected dialouts,
- and lead to a high phone bill! Some daemons or other pc's that use
- this interface can cause this.
- Incoming connections are also possible.
- "manual" is a dial mode created to prevent the unexpected dialouts.
- In this mode, the interface will never make any connections on its
- own. You must explicitly initiate a connection with "isdnctrl dial
- isdn0". However, after an idle time of no traffic as configured for
- the huptimeout value with isdnctrl, the connection _will_ be ended.
- If you don't want any automatic hangup, set the huptimeout value to 0.
- "manual" is the default.
-
- j) Setup the interface with ifconfig as usual, and set a route to it.
-
- k) (optional) If you run X11 and have Tcl/Tk-wish version 4.0, you can use
- the script tools/tcltk/isdnmon. You can add actions for line-status
- changes. See the comments at the beginning of the script for how to
- do that. There are other tty-based tools in the tools-subdirectory
- contributed by Michael Knigge (imon), Volker Götz (imontty) and
- Andreas Kool (isdnmon).
-
- l) For initial testing, you can set the verbose-level to 2 (default: 0).
- Then all incoming calls are logged, even if they are not addressed
- to one of the configured net-interfaces:
- isdnctrl verbose 2
-
- Now you are ready! A ping to the set address should now result in an
- automatic dial-out (look at syslog kernel-messages).
- The phone numbers and EAZs can be assigned at any time with isdnctrl.
- You can add as many interfaces as you like with addif following the
- directions above. Of course, there may be some limitations. But we have
- tested as many as 20 interfaces without any problem. However, if you
- don't give an interface name to addif, the kernel will assign a name
- which starts with "eth". The number of "eth"-interfaces is limited by
- the kernel.
-
-5. Additional options for isdnctrl:
-
- "isdnctrl secure <InterfaceName> on"
- Only incoming calls, for which the caller-id is listed in the access
- list of the interface are accepted. You can add caller-id's With the
- command "isdnctrl addphone <InterfaceName> in <caller-id>"
- Euro-ISDN does not transmit the leading '0' of the caller-id for an
- incoming call, therefore you should configure it accordingly.
- If the real number for the dialout e.g. is "09311234567" the number
- to configure here is "9311234567". The pattern-match function
- works similar to the shell mechanism.
-
- ? one arbitrary digit
- * zero or arbitrary many digits
- [123] one of the digits in the list
- [1-5] one digit between '1' and '5'
- a '^' as the first character in a list inverts the list
-
-
- "isdnctrl secure <InterfaceName> off"
- Switch off secure operation (default).
-
- "isdnctrl ihup <InterfaceName> [on|off]"
- Switch the hang-up-timer for incoming calls on or off.
-
- "isdnctrl eaz <InterfaceName>"
- Returns the EAZ of an interface.
-
- "isdnctrl delphone <InterfaceName> in|out <number>"
- Deletes a number from one of the access-lists of the interface.
-
- "isdnctrl delif <InterfaceName>"
- Removes the interface (and possible slaves) from the kernel.
- (You have to unregister it with "ifconfig <InterfaceName> down" before).
-
- "isdnctrl callback <InterfaceName> [on|off]"
- Switches an interface to callback-mode. In this mode, an incoming call
- will be rejected and after this the remote-station will be called. If
- you test this feature by using ping, some routers will re-dial very
- quickly, so that the callback from isdn4linux may not be recognized.
- In this case use ping with the option -i <sec> to increase the interval
- between echo-packets.
-
- "isdnctrl cbdelay <InterfaceName> [seconds]"
- Sets the delay (default 5 sec) between an incoming call and start of
- dialing when callback is enabled.
-
- "isdnctrl cbhup <InterfaceName> [on|off]"
- This enables (default) or disables an active hangup (reject) when getting an
- incoming call for an interface which is configured for callback.
-
- "isdnctrl encap <InterfaceName> <EncapType>"
- Selects the type of packet-encapsulation. The encapsulation can be changed
- only while an interface is down.
-
- At the moment the following values are supported:
-
- rawip (Default) Selects raw-IP-encapsulation. This means, MAC-headers
- are stripped off.
- ip IP with type-field. Same as IP but the type-field of the MAC-header
- is preserved.
- x25iface X.25 interface encapsulation (first byte semantics as defined in
- ../networking/x25-iface.txt). Use this for running the linux
- X.25 network protocol stack (AF_X25 sockets) on top of isdn.
- cisco-h A special-mode for communicating with a Cisco, which is configured
- to do "hdlc"
- ethernet No stripping. Packets are sent with full MAC-header.
- The Ethernet-address of the interface is faked, from its
- IP-address: fc:fc:i1:i2:i3:i4, where i1-4 are the IP-addr.-values.
- syncppp Synchronous PPP
-
- uihdlc HDLC with UI-frame-header (for use with DOS ISPA, option -h1)
-
-
- NOTE: x25iface encapsulation is currently experimental. Please
- read README.x25 for further details
-
-
- Watching packets, using standard-tcpdump will fail for all encapsulations
- except ethernet because tcpdump does not know how to handle packets
- without MAC-header. A patch for tcpdump is included in the utility-package
- mentioned above.
-
- "isdnctrl l2_prot <InterfaceName> <L2-ProtocolName>"
- Selects a layer-2-protocol.
- (With the ICN-driver and the HiSax-driver, "x75i" and "hdlc" is available.
- With other drivers, "x75ui", "x75bui", "x25dte", "x25dce" may be
- possible too. See README.x25 for x25 related l2 protocols.)
-
- isdnctrl l3_prot <InterfaceName> <L3-ProtocolName>
- The same for layer-3. (At the moment only "trans" is allowed)
-
- "isdnctrl list <InterfaceName>"
- Shows all parameters of an interface and the charge-info.
- Try "all" as the interface name.
-
- "isdnctrl hangup <InterfaceName>"
- Forces hangup of an interface.
-
- "isdnctrl bind <InterfaceName> <DriverId>,<ChannelNumber> [exclusive]"
- If you are using more than one ISDN card, it is sometimes necessary to
- dial out using a specific card or even preserve a specific channel for
- dialout of a specific net-interface. This can be done with the above
- command. Replace <DriverId> by whatever you assigned while loading the
- module. The <ChannelNumber> is counted from zero. The upper limit
- depends on the card used. At the moment no card supports more than
- 2 channels, so the upper limit is one.
-
- "isdnctrl unbind <InterfaceName>"
- unbinds a previously bound interface.
-
- "isdnctrl busreject <DriverId> on|off"
- If switched on, isdn4linux replies a REJECT to incoming calls, it
- cannot match to any configured interface.
- If switched off, nothing happens in this case.
- You normally should NOT enable this feature, if the ISDN adapter is not
- the only device connected to the S0-bus. Otherwise it could happen that
- isdn4linux rejects an incoming call, which belongs to another device on
- the bus.
-
- "isdnctrl addslave <InterfaceName> <SlaveName>
- Creates a slave interface for channel-bundling. Slave interfaces are
- not seen by the kernel, but their ISDN-part can be configured with
- isdnctrl as usual. (Phone numbers, EAZ/MSN, timeouts etc.) If more
- than two channels are to be bundled, feel free to create as many as you
- want. InterfaceName must be a real interface, NOT a slave. Slave interfaces
- start dialing, if the master interface resp. the previous slave interface
- has a load of more than 7000 cps. They hangup if the load goes under 7000
- cps, according to their "huptimeout"-parameter.
-
- "isdnctrl sdelay <InterfaceName> secs."
- This sets the minimum time an Interface has to be fully loaded, until
- it sends a dial-request to its slave.
-
- "isdnctrl dial <InterfaceName>"
- Forces an interface to start dialing even if no packets are to be
- transferred.
-
- "isdnctrl mapping <DriverId> MSN0,MSN1,MSN2,...MSN9"
- This installs a mapping table for EAZ<->MSN-mapping for a single line.
- Missing MSN's have to be given as "-" or can be omitted, if at the end
- of the commandline.
- With this command, it's now possible to have an interface listening to
- mixed 1TR6- and Euro-Type lines. In this case, the interface has to be
- configured to a 1TR6-type EAZ (one digit). The mapping is also valid
- for tty-emulation. Seen from the interface/tty-level the mapping
- CAN be used, however it's possible to use single tty's/interfaces with
- real MSN's (more digits) also, in which case the mapping will be ignored.
- Here is an example:
-
- You have a 1TR6-type line with base-nr. 1234567 and a Euro-line with
- MSN's 987654, 987655 and 987656. The DriverId for the Euro-line is "EURO".
-
- isdnctrl mapping EURO -,987654,987655,987656,-,987655
- ...
- isdnctrl eaz isdn0 1 # listen on 12345671(1tr6) and 987654(euro)
- ...
- isdnctrl eaz isdn1 4 # listen on 12345674(1tr6) only.
- ...
- isdnctrl eaz isdn2 987654 # listen on 987654(euro) only.
-
- Same scheme is used with AT&E... at the tty's.
-
-6. If you want to write a new low-level-driver, you are welcome.
- The interface to the link-level-module is described in the file INTERFACE.
- If the interface should be expanded for any reason, don't do it
- on your own, send me a mail containing the proposed changes and
- some reasoning about them.
- If other drivers will not be affected, I will include the changes
- in the next release.
- For developers only, there is a second mailing-list. Write to me
- (fritz@isdn4linux.de), if you want to join that list.
-
-Have fun!

-ISDN subsystem for Linux.
- Description of audio mode.
-
-When enabled during kernel configuration, the tty emulator of the ISDN
-subsystem is capable of a reduced set of commands to support audio.
-This document describes the commands supported and the format of
-audio data.

- received from the application via phone line.
-General behavior and description of data formats/protocol.
- when a connection is made:
-
- On incoming calls, if the application responds to a RING
- with ATA, depending on the calling service, the emulator
- responds with either CONNECT (data call) or VCON (voice call).
-
- On outgoing voice calls, the emulator responds with VCON
- upon connection setup.
-
- Audio recording.
-
- When receiving audio data, a kind of bisync protocol is used.
- Upon AT+VRX command, the emulator responds with CONNECT, and
- starts sending audio data to the application. There are several
- escape sequences defined, all using DLE (0x10) as Escape char:
-
- <DLE><ETX> End of audio data. (i.e. caused by a
- hangup of the remote side) Emulator stops
- recording, responding with VCON.
- <DLE><DC4> Abort recording, (send by appl.) Emulator
- stops recording, sends DLE,ETX.
- <DLE><DLE> Escape sequence for DLE in data stream.
- <DLE>0 Touchtone "0" received.
- ...
- <DLE>9 Touchtone "9" received.
- <DLE># Touchtone "#" received.
- <DLE>* Touchtone "*" received.
- <DLE>A Touchtone "A" received.
- <DLE>B Touchtone "B" received.
- <DLE>C Touchtone "C" received.
- <DLE>D Touchtone "D" received.
-
- <DLE>q quiet. Silence detected after non-silence.
- <DLE>s silence. Silence detected from the
- start of recording.
-
- Currently unsupported DLE sequences:
-
- <DLE>c FAX calling tone received.
- <DLE>b busy tone received.
-
- Audio playback.
-
- When sending audio data, upon AT+VTX command, emulator responds with
- CONNECT, and starts transferring data from application to the phone line.
- The same DLE sequences apply to this mode.
-
- Full-Duplex-Audio:
-
- When _both_ commands for recording and playback are given in _one_
- AT-command-line (i.e.: "AT+VTX+VRX"), full-duplex-mode is selected.
- In this mode, the only way to stop recording is sending <DLE><DC4>
- and the only way to stop playback is to send <DLE><ETX>.

-Description of the "concap" encapsulation protocol interface
-============================================================
-
-The "concap" interface is intended to be used by network device
-drivers that need to process an encapsulation protocol.
-It is assumed that the protocol interacts with a linux network device by
-- data transmission
-- connection control (establish, release)
-Thus, the mnemonic: "CONnection CONtrolling eNCAPsulation Protocol".
-
-This is currently only used inside the isdn subsystem. But it might
-also be useful to other kinds of network devices. Thus, if you want
-to suggest changes that improve usability or performance of the
-interface, please let me know. I'm willing to include them in future
-releases (even if I needed to adapt the current isdn code to the
-changed interface).
-
-
-Why is this useful?
-===================
-
-The encapsulation protocol used on top of WAN connections or permanent
-point-to-point links are frequently chosen upon bilateral agreement.
-Thus, a device driver for a certain type of hardware must support
-several different encapsulation protocols at once.
-
-The isdn device driver did already support several different
-encapsulation protocols. The encapsulation protocol is configured by a
-user space utility (isdnctrl). The isdn network interface code then
-uses several case statements which select appropriate actions
-depending on the currently configured encapsulation protocol.
-
-In contrast, LAN network interfaces always used a single encapsulation
-protocol which is unique to the hardware type of the interface. The LAN
-encapsulation is usually done by just sticking a header on the data. Thus,
-traditional linux network device drivers used to process the
-encapsulation protocol directly (usually by just providing a hard_header()
-method in the device structure) using some hardware type specific support
-functions. This is simple, direct and efficient. But it doesn't fit all
-the requirements for complex WAN encapsulations.
-
-
- The configurability of the encapsulation protocol to be used
- makes isdn network interfaces more flexible, but also much more
- complex than traditional lan network interfaces.
-
-
-Many Encapsulation protocols used on top of WAN connections will not just
-stick a header on the data. They also might need to set up or release
-the WAN connection. They also might want to send other data for their
-private purpose over the wire, e.g. ppp does a lot of link level
-negotiation before the first piece of user data can be transmitted.
-Such encapsulation protocols for WAN devices are typically more complex
-than encapsulation protocols for lan devices. Thus, network interface
-code for typical WAN devices also tends to be more complex.
-
-
-In order to support Linux' x25 PLP implementation on top of
-isdn network interfaces I could have introduced yet another branch to
-the various case statements inside drivers/isdn/isdn_net.c.
-This eventually made isdn_net.c even more complex. In addition, it made
-isdn_net.c harder to maintain. Thus, by identifying an abstract
-interface between the network interface code and the encapsulation
-protocol, complexity could be reduced and maintainability could be
-increased.
-
-
-Likewise, a similar encapsulation protocol will frequently be needed by
-several different interfaces of even different hardware type, e.g. the
-synchronous ppp implementation used by the isdn driver and the
-asynchronous ppp implementation used by the ppp driver have a lot of
-similar code in them. By cleanly separating the encapsulation protocol
-from the hardware specific interface stuff such code could be shared
-better in future.
-
-
-When operating over dial-up-connections (e.g. telephone lines via modem,
-non-permanent virtual circuits of wide area networks, ISDN) many
-encapsulation protocols will need to control the connection. Therefore,
-some basic connection control primitives are supported. The type and
-semantics of the connection (i.e the ISO layer where connection service
-is provided) is outside our scope and might be different depending on
-the encapsulation protocol used, e.g. for a ppp module using our service
-on top of a modem connection a connect_request will result in dialing
-a (somewhere else configured) remote phone number. For an X25-interface
-module (LAPB semantics, as defined in Documentation/networking/x25-iface.txt)
-a connect_request will ask for establishing a reliable lapb
-datalink connection.
-
-
-The encapsulation protocol currently provides the following
-service primitives to the network device.
-
-- create a new encapsulation protocol instance
-- delete encapsulation protocol instance and free all its resources
-- initialize (open) the encapsulation protocol instance for use.
-- deactivate (close) an encapsulation protocol instance.
-- process (xmit) data handed down by upper protocol layer
-- receive data from lower (hardware) layer
-- process connect indication from lower (hardware) layer
-- process disconnect indication from lower (hardware) layer
-
-
-The network interface driver accesses those primitives via callbacks
-provided by the encapsulation protocol instance within a
-struct concap_proto_ops.
-
-struct concap_proto_ops{
-
- /* create a new encapsulation protocol instance of same type */
- struct concap_proto * (*proto_new) (void);
-
- /* delete encapsulation protocol instance and free all its resources.
- cprot may no longer be referenced after calling this */
- void (*proto_del)(struct concap_proto *cprot);
-
- /* initialize the protocol's data. To be called at interface startup
- or when the device driver resets the interface. All services of the
- encapsulation protocol may be used after this*/
- int (*restart)(struct concap_proto *cprot,
- struct net_device *ndev,
- struct concap_device_ops *dops);
-
- /* deactivate an encapsulation protocol instance. The encapsulation
- protocol may not call any *dops methods after this. */
- int (*close)(struct concap_proto *cprot);
-
- /* process a frame handed down to us by upper layer */
- int (*encap_and_xmit)(struct concap_proto *cprot, struct sk_buff *skb);
-
- /* to be called for each data entity received from lower layer*/
- int (*data_ind)(struct concap_proto *cprot, struct sk_buff *skb);
-
- /* to be called when a connection was set up/down.
- Protocols that don't process these primitives might fill in
- dummy methods here */
- int (*connect_ind)(struct concap_proto *cprot);
- int (*disconn_ind)(struct concap_proto *cprot);
-};
-
-
-The data structures are defined in the header file include/linux/concap.h.
-
-
-A Network interface using encapsulation protocols must also provide
-some service primitives to the encapsulation protocol:
-
-- request data being submitted by lower layer (device hardware)
-- request a connection being set up by lower layer
-- request a connection being released by lower layer
-
-The encapsulation protocol accesses those primitives via callbacks
-provided by the network interface within a struct concap_device_ops.
-
-struct concap_device_ops{
-
- /* to request data be submitted by device */
- int (*data_req)(struct concap_proto *, struct sk_buff *);
-
- /* Control methods must be set to NULL by devices which do not
- support connection control. */
- /* to request a connection be set up */
- int (*connect_req)(struct concap_proto *);
-
- /* to request a connection be released */
- int (*disconn_req)(struct concap_proto *);
-};
-
-The network interface does not explicitly provide a receive service
-because the encapsulation protocol directly calls netif_rx().
-
-
-
-
-An encapsulation protocol itself is actually the
-struct concap_proto{
- struct net_device *net_dev; /* net device using our service */
- struct concap_device_ops *dops; /* callbacks provided by device */
- struct concap_proto_ops *pops; /* callbacks provided by us */
- int flags;
- void *proto_data; /* protocol specific private data, to
- be accessed via *pops methods only*/
- /*
- :
- whatever
- :
- */
-};
-
-Most of this is filled in when the device requests the protocol to
-be reset (opend). The network interface must provide the net_dev and
-dops pointers. Other concap_proto members should be considered private
-data that are only accessed by the pops callback functions. Likewise,
-a concap proto should access the network device's private data
-only by means of the callbacks referred to by the dops pointer.
-
-
-A possible extended device structure which uses the connection controlling
-encapsulation services could look like this:
-
-struct concap_device{
- struct net_device net_dev;
- struct my_priv /* device->local stuff */
- /* the my_priv struct might contain a
- struct concap_device_ops *dops;
- to provide the device specific callbacks
- */
- struct concap_proto *cprot; /* callbacks provided by protocol */
-};
-
-
-
-Misc Thoughts
-=============
-
-The concept of the concap proto might help to reuse protocol code and
-reduce the complexity of certain network interface implementations.
-The trade off is that it introduces yet another procedure call layer
-when processing the protocol. This has of course some impact on
-performance. However, typically the concap interface will be used by
-devices attached to slow lines (like telephone, isdn, leased synchronous
-lines). For such slow lines, the overhead is probably negligible.
-This might no longer hold for certain high speed WAN links (like
-ATM).
-
-
-If general linux network interfaces explicitly supported concap
-protocols (e.g. by a member struct concap_proto* in struct net_device)
-then the interface of the service function could be changed
-by passing a pointer of type (struct net_device*) instead of
-type (struct concap_proto*). Doing so would make many of the service
-functions compatible to network device support functions.
-
-e.g. instead of the concap protocol's service function
-
- int (*encap_and_xmit)(struct concap_proto *cprot, struct sk_buff *skb);
-
-we could have
-
- int (*encap_and_xmit)(struct net_device *ndev, struct sk_buff *skb);
-
-As this is compatible to the dev->hard_start_xmit() method, the device
-driver could directly register the concap protocol's encap_and_xmit()
-function as its hard_start_xmit() method. This would eliminate one
-procedure call layer.
-
-
-The device's data request function could also be defined as
-
- int (*data_req)(struct net_device *ndev, struct sk_buff *skb);
-
-This might even allow for some protocol stacking. And the network
-interface might even register the same data_req() function directly
-as its hard_start_xmit() method when a zero layer encapsulation
-protocol is configured. Thus, eliminating the performance penalty
-of the concap interface when a trivial concap protocol is used.
-Nevertheless, the device remains able to support encapsulation
-protocol configuration.

-1. Features of the i4l diversion services
- (Or what can the i4l diversion services do for me)
-
- The i4l diversion services offers call forwarding and logging normally
- only supported by isdn phones. Incoming calls may be diverted
- unconditionally (CFU), when not reachable (CFNR) or on busy condition
- (CFB).
- The diversions may be invoked statically in the providers exchange
- as normally done by isdn phones. In this case all incoming calls
- with a special (or all) service identifiers are forwarded if the
- forwarding reason is met. Activated static services may also be
- interrogated (queried).
- The i4l diversion services additionally offers a dynamic version of
- call forwarding which is not preprogrammed inside the providers exchange
- but dynamically activated by i4l.
- In this case all incoming calls are checked by rules that may be
- compared to the mechanism of ipfwadm or ipchains. If a given rule matches
- the checking process is finished and the rule matching will be applied
- to the call.
- The rules include primary and secondary service identifiers, called
- number and subaddress, callers number and subaddress and whether the rule
- matches to all filtered calls or only those when all B-channel resources
- are exhausted.
- Actions that may be invoked by a rule are ignore, proceed, reject,
- direct divert or delayed divert of a call.
- All incoming calls matching a rule except the ignore rule a reported and
- logged as ASCII via the proc filesystem (/proc/net/isdn/divert). If proceed
- is selected the call will be held in a proceeding state (without ringing)
- for a certain amount of time to let an external program or client decide
- how to handle the call.
-
-
-2. Required hard- and software
-
- For using the i4l diversion services the isdn line must be of a EURO/DSS1
- type. Additionally the i4l services only work together with the HiSax
- driver for passive isdn cards. All HiSax supported cards may be used for
- the diversion purposes.
- The static diversion services require the provider having static services
- CFU, CFNR, CFB activated on an MSN-line. The static services may not be
- used on a point-to-point connection. Further the static services are only
- available in some countries (for example germany). Countries requiring the
- keypad protocol for activating static diversions (like the netherlands) are
- not supported but may use the tty devices for this purpose.
- The dynamic diversion services may be used in all countries if the provider
- enables the feature CF (call forwarding). This should work on both MSN- and
- point-to-point lines.
- To add and delete rules the additional divertctrl program is needed. This
- program is part of the isdn4kutils package.
-
-3. Compiling, installing and loading/unloading the module
- Tracing calling and diversion information
-
-
- To compile the i4l code with diversion support you need to say yes to the
- DSS1 diversion services when selecting the i4l options in the kernel
- config (menuconfig or config).
- After having properly activated a make modules and make modules_install all
- required modules will be correctly installed in the needed modules dirs.
- As the diversion services are currently not included in the scripts of most
- standard distributions you will have to add a "insmod dss1_divert" after
- having loaded the global isdn module.
- The module can be loaded without any command line parameters.
- If the module is actually loaded and active may be checked with a
- "cat /proc/modules" or "ls /proc/net/isdn/divert". The divert file is
- dynamically created by the diversion module and removed when the module is
- unloaded.
-
-
-4. Tracing calling and diversion information
-
- You also may put a "cat /proc/net/isdn/divert" in the background with the
- output redirected to a file. Then all actions of the module are logged.
- The divert file in the proc system may be opened more than once, so in
- conjunction with inetd and a small remote client on other machines inside
- your network incoming calls and reactions by the module may be shown on
- every listening machine.
- If a call is reported as proceeding an external program or client may
- specify during a certain amount of time (normally 4 to 10 seconds) what
- to do with that call.
- To unload the module all open files to the device in the proc system must
- be closed. Otherwise the module (and isdn.o) may not be unloaded.
-
-5. Format of the divert device ASCII output
-
- To be done later

-Fax with isdn4linux
-===================
-
-When enabled during kernel configuration, the tty emulator
-of the ISDN subsystem is capable of the Fax Class 2 commands.
-
-This only makes sense under the following conditions :
-
-- You need the commands as dummy, because you are using
- hylafax (with patch) for AVM capi.
-- You want to use the fax capabilities of your isdn-card.
- (supported cards are listed below)
-
-
-NOTE: This implementation does *not* support fax with passive
- ISDN-cards (known as softfax). The low-level driver of
- the ISDN-card and/or the card itself must support this.
-
-
-Supported ISDN-Cards
---------------------
-
-Eicon DIVA Server BRI/PCI
- - full support with both B-channels.
-
-Eicon DIVA Server 4BRI/PCI
- - full support with all B-channels.
-
-Eicon DIVA Server PRI/PCI
- - full support on amount of B-channels
- depending on DSPs on board.
-
-
-
-The command set is known as Class 2 (not Class 2.0) and
-can be activated by AT+FCLASS=2
-
-
-The interface between the link-level-module and the hardware-level driver
-is described in the files INTERFACE.fax and INTERFACE.

-The driver for the HFC-PCI and HFC-PCI-A chips from CCD may be used
-for many OEM cards using this chips.
-Additionally the driver has a special feature which makes it possible
-to read the echo-channel of the isdn bus. So all frames in both directions
-may be logged.
-When the echo logging feature is used the number of available B-channels
-for a HFC-PCI card is reduced to 1. Of course this is only relevant to
-the card, not to the isdn line.
-To activate the echo mode the following ioctls must be entered:
-
-hisaxctrl <driver/cardname> 10 1
-
-This reduces the available channels to 1. There must not be open connections
-through this card when entering the command.
-And then:
-
-hisaxctrl <driver/cardname> 12 1
-
-This enables the echo mode. If Hex logging is activated the isdnctrlx
-devices show a output with a line beginning of HEX: for the providers
-exchange and ECHO: for isdn devices sending to the provider.
-
-If more than one HFC-PCI cards are installed, a specific card may be selected
-at the hisax module load command line. Supply the load command with the desired
-IO-address of the desired card.
-Example:
-There tree cards installed in your machine at IO-base addresses 0xd000, 0xd400
-and 0xdc00
-If you want to use the card at 0xd400 standalone you should supply the insmod
-or depmod with type=35 io=0xd400.
-If you want to use all three cards, but the order needs to be at 0xdc00,0xd400,
-0xd000 you may give the parameters type=35,35,35 io=0xdc00,0xd400,0xd00
-Then the desired card will be the initialised in the desired order.
-If the io parameter is used the io addresses of all used cards should be
-supplied else the parameter is assumed 0 and a auto search for a free card is
-invoked which may not give the wanted result.

-Some additional information for setting up a syncPPP
-connection using network interfaces.
----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-You need one thing beside the isdn4linux package:
-
- a patched pppd .. (I called it ipppd to show the difference)
-
-Compiling isdn4linux with sync PPP:
------------------------------------
-To compile isdn4linux with the sync PPP part, you have
-to answer the appropriate question when doing a "make config"
-Don't forget to load the slhc.o
-module before the isdn.o module, if VJ-compression support
-is not compiled into your kernel. (e.g if you have no PPP or
-CSLIP in the kernel)
-
-Using isdn4linux with sync PPP:
--------------------------------
-Sync PPP is just another encapsulation for isdn4linux. The
-name to enable sync PPP encapsulation is 'syncppp' .. e.g:
-
- /sbin/isdnctrl encap ippp0 syncppp
-
-The name of the interface is here 'ippp0'. You need
-one interface with the name 'ippp0' to saturate the
-ipppd, which checks the ppp version via this interface.
-Currently, all devices must have the name ipppX where
-'X' is a decimal value.
-
-To set up a PPP connection you need the ipppd .. You must start
-the ipppd once after installing the modules. The ipppd
-communicates with the isdn4linux link-level driver using the
-/dev/ippp0 to /dev/ippp15 devices. One ipppd can handle
-all devices at once. If you want to use two PPP connections
-at the same time, you have to connect the ipppd to two
-devices .. and so on.
-I've implemented one additional option for the ipppd:
- 'useifip' will get (if set to not 0.0.0.0) the IP address
- for the negotiation from the attached network-interface.
-(also: ipppd will try to negotiate pointopoint IP as remote IP)
-You must disable BSD-compression, this implementation can't
-handle compressed packets.
-
-Check the etc/rc.isdn.syncppp in the isdn4kernel-util package
-for an example setup script.
-
-To use the MPPP stuff, you must configure a slave device
-with isdn4linux. Now call the ipppd with the '+mp' option.
-To increase the number of links, you must use the
-'addlink' option of the isdnctrl tool. (rc.isdn.syncppp.MPPP is
-an example script)
-
-enjoy it,

-X.25 support within isdn4linux
-==============================
-
-This is alpha/beta test code. Use it completely at your own risk.
-As new versions appear, the stuff described here might suddenly change
-or become invalid without notice.
-
-Keep in mind:
-
-You are using several new parts of the 2.2.x kernel series which
-have not been tested in a large scale. Therefore, you might encounter
-more bugs as usual.
-
-- If you connect to an X.25 neighbour not operated by yourself, ASK the
- other side first. Be prepared that bugs in the protocol implementation
- might result in problems.
-
-- This implementation has never wiped out my whole hard disk yet. But as
- this is experimental code, don't blame me if that happened to you.
- Backing up important data will never harm.
-
-- Monitor your isdn connections while using this software. This should
- prevent you from undesired phone bills in case of driver problems.
-
-
-
-
-How to configure the kernel
-===========================
-
-The ITU-T (former CCITT) X.25 network protocol layer has been implemented
-in the Linux source tree since version 2.1.16. The isdn subsystem might be
-useful to run X.25 on top of ISDN. If you want to try it, select
-
- "CCITT X.25 Packet Layer"
-
-from the networking options as well as
-
- "ISDN Support" and "X.25 PLP on Top of ISDN"
-
-from the ISDN subsystem options when you configure your kernel for
-compilation. You currently also need to enable
-"Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers" from the
-"Code maturity level options" menu. For the x25trace utility to work
-you also need to enable "Packet socket".
-
-For local testing it is also recommended to enable the isdnloop driver
-from the isdn subsystem's configuration menu.
-
-For testing, it is recommended that all isdn drivers and the X.25 PLP
-protocol are compiled as loadable modules. Like this, you can recover
-from certain errors by simply unloading and reloading the modules.
-
-
-
-What's it for? How to use it?
-=============================
-
-X.25 on top of isdn might be useful with two different scenarios:
-
-- You might want to access a public X.25 data network from your Linux box.
- You can use i4l if you were physically connected to the X.25 switch
- by an ISDN B-channel (leased line as well as dial up connection should
- work).
-
- This corresponds to ITU-T recommendation X.31 Case A (circuit-mode
- access to PSPDN [packet switched public data network]).
-
- NOTE: X.31 also covers a Case B (access to PSPDN via virtual
- circuit / packet mode service). The latter mode (which in theory
- also allows using the D-channel) is not supported by isdn4linux.
- It should however be possible to establish such packet mode connections
- with certain active isdn cards provided that the firmware supports X.31
- and the driver exports this functionality to the user. Currently,
- the AVM B1 driver is the only driver which does so. (It should be
- possible to access D-channel X.31 with active AVM cards using the
- CAPI interface of the AVM-B1 driver).
-
-- Or you might want to operate certain ISDN teleservices on your linux
- box. A lot of those teleservices run on top of the ISO-8208
- (DTE-DTE mode) network layer protocol. ISO-8208 is essentially the
- same as ITU-T X.25.
-
- Popular candidates of such teleservices are EUROfile transfer or any
- teleservice applying ITU-T recommendation T.90.
-
-To use the X.25 protocol on top of isdn, just create an isdn network
-interface as usual, configure your own and/or peer's ISDN numbers,
-and choose x25iface encapsulation by
-
- isdnctrl encap <iface-name> x25iface.
-
-Once encap is set like this, the device can be used by the X.25 packet layer.
-
-All the stuff needed for X.25 is implemented inside the isdn link
-level (mainly isdn_net.c and some new source files). Thus, it should
-work with every existing HL driver. I was able to successfully open X.25
-connections on top of the isdnloop driver and the hisax driver.
-"x25iface"-encapsulation bypasses demand dialing. Dialing will be
-initiated when the upper (X.25 packet) layer requests the lapb datalink to
-be established. But hangup timeout is still active. Whenever a hangup
-occurs, all existing X.25 connections on that link will be cleared
-It is recommended to use sufficiently large hangup-timeouts for the
-isdn interfaces.
-
-
-In order to set up a conforming protocol stack you also need to
-specify the proper l2_prot parameter:
-
-To operate in ISO-8208 X.25 DTE-DTE mode, use
-
- isdnctrl l2_prot <iface-name> x75i
-
-To access an X.25 network switch via isdn (your linux box is the DTE), use
-
- isdnctrl l2_prot <iface-name> x25dte
-
-To mimic an X.25 network switch (DCE side of the connection), use
-
- isdnctrl l2_prot <iface-name> x25dce
-
-However, x25dte or x25dce is currently not supported by any real HL
-level driver. The main difference between x75i and x25dte/dce is that
-x25d[tc]e uses fixed lap_b addresses. With x75i, the side which
-initiates the isdn connection uses the DTE's lap_b address while the
-called side used the DCE's lap_b address. Thus, l2_prot x75i might
-probably work if you access a public X.25 network as long as the
-corresponding isdn connection is set up by you. At least one test
-was successful to connect via isdn4linux to an X.25 switch using this
-trick. At the switch side, a terminal adapter X.21 was used to connect
-it to the isdn.
-
-
-How to set up a test installation?
-==================================
-
-To test X.25 on top of isdn, you need to get
-
-- a recent version of the "isdnctrl" program that supports setting the new
- X.25 specific parameters.
-
-- the x25-utils-2.X package from
- ftp://ftp.hes.iki.fi/pub/ham/linux/ax25/x25utils-*
- (don't confuse the x25-utils with the ax25-utils)
-
-- an application program that uses linux PF_X25 sockets (some are
- contained in the x25-util package).
-
-Before compiling the user level utilities make sure that the compiler/
-preprocessor will fetch the proper kernel header files of this kernel
-source tree. Either make /usr/include/linux a symbolic link pointing to
-this kernel's include/linux directory or set the appropriate compiler flags.
-
-When all drivers and interfaces are loaded and configured you need to
-ifconfig the network interfaces up and add X.25-routes to them. Use
-the usual ifconfig tool.
-
-ifconfig <iface-name> up
-
-But a special x25route tool (distributed with the x25-util package)
-is needed to set up X.25 routes. I.e.
-
-x25route add 01 <iface-name>
-
-will cause all x.25 connections to the destination X.25-address
-"01" to be routed to your created isdn network interface.
-
-There are currently no real X.25 applications available. However, for
-tests, the x25-utils package contains a modified version of telnet
-and telnetd that uses X.25 sockets instead of tcp/ip sockets. You can
-use those for your first tests. Furthermore, you might check
-ftp://ftp.hamburg.pop.de/pub/LOCAL/linux/i4l-eft/ which contains some
-alpha-test implementation ("eftp4linux") of the EUROfile transfer
-protocol.
-
-The scripts distributed with the eftp4linux test releases might also
-provide useful examples for setting up X.25 on top of isdn.
-
-The x25-utility package also contains an x25trace tool that can be
-used to monitor X.25 packets received by the network interfaces.
-The /proc/net/x25* files also contain useful information.

-Q10: I wanna use dynamic IP address assignment
-Q11: I can't connect. How can I check where the problem is.
-Q12: How can I reduce login delay?
-
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Q01: pppd, ipppd, syncPPP, asyncPPP .. what is that ?
- what should I use?
-A: The pppd is for asynchronous PPP .. asynchronous means
- here, the framing is character based. (e.g when
- using ttyI* or tty* devices)
-
- The ipppd handles PPP packets coming in HDLC
- frames (bit based protocol) ... The PPP driver
- in isdn4linux pushes all IP packets direct
- to the network layer and all PPP protocol
- frames to the /dev/ippp* device.
- So, the ipppd is a simple external network
- protocol handler.
-
- If you login into a remote machine using the
- /dev/ttyI* devices and then enable PPP on the
- remote terminal server -> use the 'old' pppd
-
- If your remote side immediately starts to send
- frames ... you probably connect to a
- syncPPP machine .. use the network device part
- of isdn4linux with the 'syncppp' encapsulation
- and make sure, that the ipppd is running and
- connected to at least one /dev/ippp*. Check the
- isdn4linux manual on how to configure a network device.
-
---
-
-Q02: when I start the ipppd .. I only get the
- error message "this system lacks PPP support"
-A: check that at least the device 'ippp0' exists.
- (you can check this e.g with the program 'ifconfig')
- The ipppd NEEDS this device under THIS name ..
- If this device doesn't exists, use:
- isdnctrl addif ippp0
- isdnctrl encap ippp0 syncppp
- ... (see isdn4linux doc for more) ...
-A: Maybe you have compiled the ipppd with another
- kernel source tree than the kernel you currently
- run ...
-
---
-
-Q03: when I list the netdevices with ifconfig I see, that
- my ISDN interface has a HWaddr and IRQ=0 and Base
- address = 0
-A: The device is a fake ethernet device .. ignore IRQ and baseaddr
- You need the HWaddr only for ethernet encapsulation.
-
---
-
-Q04: MPPP?? What's that and how can I use it ...
-
-A: MPPP or MP or MPP (Warning: MP is also an
- acronym for 'Multi Processor') stands for
- Multi Point to Point and means bundling
- of several channels to one logical stream.
- To enable MPPP negotiation you must call the
- ipppd with the '+mp' option.
- You must also configure a slave device for
- every additional channel. (see the i4l manual
- for more)
- To use channel bundling you must first activate
- the 'master' or initial call. Now you can add
- the slave channels with the command:
- isdnctrl addlink <device>
- e.g:
- isdnctrl addlink ippp0
- This is different from other encapsulations of
- isdn4linux! With syncPPP, there is no automatic
- activation of slave devices.
-
---
-
-Q05: I tried MPPP but it doesn't work .. the ipppd
- writes in the debug log something like:
- .. rcvd [0][proto=0x3d] c0 00 00 00 80 fd 01 01 00 0a ...
- .. sent [0][LCP ProtRej id=0x2 00 3d c0 00 00 00 80 fd 01 ...
-
-A: you forgot to compile MPPP/RFC1717 support into the
- ISDN Subsystem. Recompile with this option enabled.
-
---
-
-Q06: can I use asynchronous PPP encapsulation
- over the network interface of isdn4linux ..
-
-A: No .. that's not possible .. Use the standard
- PPP package over the /dev/ttyI* devices. You
- must not use the ipppd for this.
-
---
-
-Q07: A SunISDN machine tries to connect my i4l system,
- which doesn't work.
- Checking the debug log I just saw garbage like:
-!![ ... fill in the line ... ]!!
-
-A: The Sun tries to talk asynchronous PPP ... i4l
- can't understand this ... try to use the ttyI*
- devices with the standard PPP/pppd package
-
-A: (from Alexanter Strauss: )
-!![ ... fill in mail ]!!
-
---
-
-Q08: I wanna talk to remote machines, which need
- a different configuration. The only way
- I found to do this is to kill the ipppd and
- start a new one with another config to connect
- to the second machine.
-
-A: you must bind a network interface explicitly to
- an ippp device, where you can connect a (for this
- interface) individually configured ipppd.
-
---
-
-Q09: When I start the ipppd I only get error messages
- from the i4l driver ..
-
-A: When starting, the ipppd calls functions which may
- trigger a network packet. (e.g gethostbyname()).
- Without the ipppd (at this moment, it is not
- fully started) we can't handle this network request.
- Try to configure hostnames necessary for the ipppd
- in your local /etc/hosts file or in a way, that
- your system can resolve it without using an
- isdn/ippp network-interface.
-
---
-
-Q10: I wanna use dynamic IP address assignment ... How
- must I configure the network device.
-
-A: At least you must have a route which forwards
- a packet to the ippp network-interface to trigger
- the dial-on-demand.
- A default route to the ippp-interface will work.
- Now you must choose a dummy IP address for your
- interface.
- If for some reason you can't set the default
- route to the ippp interface, you may take any
- address of the subnet from which you expect your
- dynamic IP number and set a 'network route' for
- this subnet to the ippp interface.
- To allow overriding of the dummy address you
- must call the ipppd with the 'ipcp-accept-local' option.
-
-A: You must know, how the ipppd gets the addresses it wanna
- configure. If you don't give any option, the ipppd
- tries to negotiate the local host address!
- With the option 'noipdefault' it requests an address
- from the remote machine. With 'useifip' it gets the
- addresses from the net interface. Or you set the address
- on the option line with the <a.b.c.d:e.f.g.h> option.
- Note: the IP address of the remote machine must be configured
- locally or the remote machine must send it in an IPCP request.
- If your side doesn't know the IP address after negotiation, it
- closes the connection!
- You must allow overriding of address with the 'ipcp-accept-*'
- options, if you have set your own or the remote address
- explicitly.
-
-A: Maybe you try these options .. e.g:
-
- /sbin/ipppd :$REMOTE noipdefault /dev/ippp0
-
- where REMOTE must be the address of the remote machine (the
- machine, which gives you your address)

-Q11: I can't connect. How can I check where the problem is.
-
-A: A good help log is the debug output from the ipppd...
- Check whether you can find there:
- - only a few LCP-conf-req SENT messages (less then 10)
- and then a Term-REQ:
- -> check whether your ISDN card is well configured
- it seems, that your machine doesn't dial
- (IRQ,IO,Proto, etc problems)
- Configure your ISDN card to print debug messages and
- check the /dev/isdnctrl output next time. There
- you can see, whether there is activity on the card/line.
- - there are at least a few RECV messages in the log:
- -> fine: your card is dialing and your remote machine
- tries to talk with you. Maybe only a missing
- authentication. Check your ipppd configuration again.
- - the ipppd exits for some reason:
- -> not good ... check /var/adm/syslog and /var/adm/daemon.
- Could be a bug in the ipppd.

-Q12: How can I reduce login delay?
-
-A: Log a login session ('debug' log) and check which options
- your remote side rejects. Next time configure your ipppd
- to not negotiate these options. Another 'side effect' is, that
- this increases redundancy. (e.g your remote side is buggy and
- rejects options in a wrong way).
