6 ttyI - ISDN character devices with modem emulator
7
9 ttyI[0-63] are emulated tty devices of the Linux ISDN subsystem. These
10 devices can be used in the same way as the traditional serial devices
11 ttySx. The official major device numbers are 43 for ttyI . The minor
12 device numbers start with 0 and end with 63.
13
14 The ISDN tty devices are equipped with a modem emulation implementing a
15 set of traditional and some special AT commands. This provides easy use
16 together with almost all communication software that uses modem com‐
17 mands: minicom(1), seyon(1), XCept(1), uucico(8), mgetty(8), dip(8),
18 pppd(8) and more. When enabled during kernel configuration, the emula‐
19 tor is capable of a reduced set of commands to support audio. To use
20 audio features, an ISDN card with a audio-capable low-level driver is
21 needed. Currently the only audio-capable drivers are the teles and
22 HiSax driver.
23
24 The line disciplines are handled by the kernel so that SLIP, CSLIP and
25 asynchronous PPP are possible.
26
27 The port speed of the ISDN tty devices is always 64000 bps.
28

31 The description of AT commands here does not cover audio related com‐
32 mands. For a description of audio related commands, see isdn_audio(4).
33 The following AT commands are supported by ISDN tty devices:
34
35 ATA Answer an incoming call.
36
37 ATDnum Dial number num. Allowed are digits [0-9] and the characters
38 ",", "#", ".", "*", "W", "P", "T", "S", "-". The characters are
39 ignored except of "S" which indicates a SPV if it precedes the
40 number (only German 1TR6 ISDN).
41
42 ATE0 Echo off.
43
44 ATE1 Echo on (default).
45
46 ATH Hang up.
47
48 ATH0 Hang up.
49
50 ATH1 Off hook (ignored).
51
52 ATI Return device Information ("ISDN for Linux...").
53
54 ATI0 Return device Information ("ISDN for Linux...").
55
56 ATI1 Return device Information ("ISDN for Linux...").
57
58 ATI2 Return Statistics of last connection.
59
60 ATO Return from command mode to online mode (data mode).
61
62 ATQ0 Enable result codes (default).
63
64 ATQ1 Disable result codes.
65
66 ATSx=y Set register x to value y.
67
68 ATSx? Show content of register x.
69
70 ATSx.y=z
71 Set register x, bit y to value z
72
73 ATSx.y?
74 Show bit y of register x.
75
76 ATV0 Print result code as number.
77
78 ATV1 Print result code as text (default).
79
80 ATZ Reset all registers and load profile values.
81
82 AT&Bx Set packet size of outgoing packets to value x (maximum 4000).
83 The actual packet size depends on the hardware driver and may be
84 smaller than x (e.g. with the teles driver). There will be no
85 error message if the value is bigger than the hardware driver
86 can process. However the size of the outgoing packets will be
87 set correctly.
88
89 AT&D2 DTR falling edge: hang up and return to command mode (default).
90
91 AT&D3 DTR falling edge: hang up, return to command mode and reset all
92 registers.
93
94 AT&Ex Set MSN (Euro-ISDN, EDSS1) or EAZ (German 1TR6) to value x. For
95 MSNs, x is a string of digits representing the local phone num‐
96 ber, while for EAZs x should be only the last digit of the Num‐
97 ber.
98
99 AT&F Set all registers and profile to "factory-defaults".
100
101 AT&Lplist
102 Set list of phone numbers to listen on. plist is a list of
103 wildcard patterns separated by semicolon. If this is set, it has
104 precedence over the MSN set by AT&E.
105
106 AT&V Show current register settings.
107
108 AT&W0 Write registers and EAZ/MSN to profile. (You need to run
109 iprofd(8) for making changes permanent.)
110
111 AT&X0 Disable BTX-Mode (default).
112
113 AT&X1 Enable BTX-Mode.
114
116 During a data connection, the driver can be set to command mode by typ‐
117 ing in delay+++delay. The escape character (default "+") may be set
118 via register 2. The delay must be at least 1.5 seconds and between each
119 escape character the pause must not exceed 0.5 seconds. ATO brings the
120 modem emulation back to data mode.
121
123 0 (default 0)
124 Number of rings on which the "modem" will answer. (S0=0 will
125 disable auto answering).
