NAME
ttyI - ISDN character devices with modem emulator
DESCRIPTION
ttyI[0-63] are emulated tty devices of the Linux ISDN subsystem. These devices can be
used in the same way as the traditional serial devices ttySx. The official major device
numbers are 43 for ttyI . The minor device numbers start with 0 and end with 63.
The ISDN tty devices are equipped with a modem emulation implementing a set of traditional
and some special AT commands. This provides easy use together with almost all
communication software that uses modem commands: minicom(1), seyon(1), XCept(1),
uucico(8), mgetty(8), dip(8), pppd(8) and more. When enabled during kernel configuration,
the emulator is capable of a reduced set of commands to support audio. To use audio
features, an ISDN card with a audio-capable low-level driver is needed. Currently the only
audio-capable drivers are the teles and HiSax driver.
The line disciplines are handled by the kernel so that SLIP, CSLIP and asynchronous PPP
are possible.
The port speed of the ISDN tty devices is always 64000 bps.
AT COMMAND SET
The description of AT commands here does not cover audio related commands. For a
description of audio related commands, see isdn_audio(4). The following AT commands are
supported by ISDN tty devices:
ATA Answer an incoming call.
ATDnum Dial number num. Allowed are digits [0-9] and the characters ",", "#", ".", "*",
"W", "P", "T", "S", "-". The characters are ignored except of "S" which indicates a
SPV if it precedes the number (only German 1TR6 ISDN).
ATE0 Echo off.
ATE1 Echo on (default).
ATH Hang up.
ATH0 Hang up.
ATH1 Off hook (ignored).
ATI Return device Information ("ISDN for Linux...").
ATI0 Return device Information ("ISDN for Linux...").
ATI1 Return device Information ("ISDN for Linux...").
ATI2 Return Statistics of last connection.
ATO Return from command mode to online mode (data mode).
ATQ0 Enable result codes (default).
ATQ1 Disable result codes.
ATSx=y Set register x to value y.
ATSx? Show content of register x.
ATSx.y=z
Set register x, bit y to value z
ATSx.y?
Show bit y of register x.
ATV0 Print result code as number.
ATV1 Print result code as text (default).
ATZ Reset all registers and load profile values.
AT&Bx Set packet size of outgoing packets to value x (maximum 4000). The actual packet
size depends on the hardware driver and may be smaller than x (e.g. with the teles
driver). There will be no error message if the value is bigger than the hardware
driver can process. However the size of the outgoing packets will be set correctly.
AT&D2 DTR falling edge: hang up and return to command mode (default).
AT&D3 DTR falling edge: hang up, return to command mode and reset all registers.
AT&Ex Set MSN (Euro-ISDN, EDSS1) or EAZ (German 1TR6) to value x. For MSNs, x is a
string of digits representing the local phone number, while for EAZs x should be
only the last digit of the Number.
AT&F Set all registers and profile to "factory-defaults".
AT&Lplist
Set list of phone numbers to listen on. plist is a list of wildcard patterns
separated by semicolon. If this is set, it has precedence over the MSN set by AT&E.
AT&V Show current register settings.
AT&W0 Write registers and EAZ/MSN to profile. (You need to run iprofd(8) for making
changes permanent.)
AT&X0 Disable BTX-Mode (default).
AT&X1 Enable BTX-Mode.
ESCAPE SEQUENCE
During a data connection, the driver can be set to command mode by typing in
delay+++delay. The escape character (default "+") may be set via register 2. The delay
must be at least 1.5 seconds and between each escape character the pause must not exceed
0.5 seconds. ATO brings the modem emulation back to data mode.
REGISTERS

answering).

Counts and stores the number of rings from an incoming call.

Note: It is possible to set more than one bit. In this case, on outgoing calls, the
most significant 1-bit is chosen to select the outgoing service octet. On
incoming calls the selected services are accepted, contents of register 14

NOTE There used also be cui devices (major device number 44), but since the cua devices
for regular tty devices are no longer supported in the kernel, these are also no
longer supported for ISDN4linux.
