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.
|
