n_gsm.c GSM 0710 tty multiplexor HOWTO
 | 
						|
===================================================
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This line discipline implements the GSM 07.10 multiplexing protocol
 | 
						|
detailed in the following 3GPP document :
 | 
						|
http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/archive/07_series/07.10/0710-720.zip
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This document give some hints on how to use this driver with GPRS and 3G
 | 
						|
modems connected to a physical serial port.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
How to use it
 | 
						|
-------------
 | 
						|
1- initialize the modem in 0710 mux mode (usually AT+CMUX= command) through
 | 
						|
its serial port. Depending on the modem used, you can pass more or less
 | 
						|
parameters to this command,
 | 
						|
2- switch the serial line to using the n_gsm line discipline by using
 | 
						|
TIOCSETD ioctl,
 | 
						|
3- configure the mux using GSMIOC_GETCONF / GSMIOC_SETCONF ioctl,
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Major parts of the initialization program :
 | 
						|
(a good starting point is util-linux-ng/sys-utils/ldattach.c)
 | 
						|
#include <linux/gsmmux.h>
 | 
						|
#define N_GSM0710	21	/* GSM 0710 Mux */
 | 
						|
#define DEFAULT_SPEED	B115200
 | 
						|
#define SERIAL_PORT	/dev/ttyS0
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	int ldisc = N_GSM0710;
 | 
						|
	struct gsm_config c;
 | 
						|
	struct termios configuration;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	/* open the serial port connected to the modem */
 | 
						|
	fd = open(SERIAL_PORT, O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY | O_NDELAY);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	/* configure the serial port : speed, flow control ... */
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	/* send the AT commands to switch the modem to CMUX mode
 | 
						|
	   and check that it's successful (should return OK) */
 | 
						|
	write(fd, "AT+CMUX=0\r", 10);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	/* experience showed that some modems need some time before
 | 
						|
	   being able to answer to the first MUX packet so a delay
 | 
						|
	   may be needed here in some case */
 | 
						|
	sleep(3);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	/* use n_gsm line discipline */
 | 
						|
	ioctl(fd, TIOCSETD, &ldisc);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	/* get n_gsm configuration */
 | 
						|
	ioctl(fd, GSMIOC_GETCONF, &c);
 | 
						|
	/* we are initiator and need encoding 0 (basic) */
 | 
						|
	c.initiator = 1;
 | 
						|
	c.encapsulation = 0;
 | 
						|
	/* our modem defaults to a maximum size of 127 bytes */
 | 
						|
	c.mru = 127;
 | 
						|
	c.mtu = 127;
 | 
						|
	/* set the new configuration */
 | 
						|
	ioctl(fd, GSMIOC_SETCONF, &c);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	/* and wait for ever to keep the line discipline enabled */
 | 
						|
	daemon(0,0);
 | 
						|
	pause();
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
4- create the devices corresponding to the "virtual" serial ports (take care,
 | 
						|
each modem has its configuration and some DLC have dedicated functions,
 | 
						|
for example GPS), starting with minor 1 (DLC0 is reserved for the management
 | 
						|
of the mux)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
MAJOR=`cat /proc/devices |grep gsmtty | awk '{print $1}`
 | 
						|
for i in `seq 1 4`; do
 | 
						|
	mknod /dev/ttygsm$i c $MAJOR $i
 | 
						|
done
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
5- use these devices as plain serial ports.
 | 
						|
for example, it's possible :
 | 
						|
- and to use gnokii to send / receive SMS on ttygsm1
 | 
						|
- to use ppp to establish a datalink on ttygsm2
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
6- first close all virtual ports before closing the physical port.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Note that after closing the physical port the modem is still in multiplexing
 | 
						|
mode. This may prevent a successful re-opening of the port later. To avoid
 | 
						|
this situation either reset the modem if your hardware allows that or send
 | 
						|
a disconnect command frame manually before initializing the multiplexing mode
 | 
						|
for the second time. The byte sequence for the disconnect command frame is:
 | 
						|
0xf9, 0x03, 0xef, 0x03, 0xc3, 0x16, 0xf9.
 | 
						|
