UHSO(4)			    Kernel Interfaces Manual		       UHSO(4)

NAME
       uhso -- support for several HSxPA devices from Option N.V.

SYNOPSIS
       The  module can be loaded at boot time by placing the following line in
       loader.conf(5):

	     uhso_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION
       The uhso	driver provides	support	for several HSxPA devices from	Option
       N.V.  that  are based on	their packet interface.	 Each device has a set
       of serial ports and a raw IP packet interface.  The serial ports	of the
       device are accessed through the ucom(4) driver which makes them	behave
       like  tty(4) devices.  The packet interface is exposed as a network in-
       terface.

       Establishing a connection on the	packet interface is achieved by	 using
       the  proprietary	 AT commands "AT_OWANCALL" and "AT_OWANDATA" on	any of
       the available serial ports.

       The network interface must be configured	manually using the data	obtain
       from these calls.

       Each device usually have	at least two or	more serial ports, their indi-
       vidual purpose can be identified	through	sysctl(8).   Ports  identified
       as "Modem" features a normal modem interface that can be	used with PPP.
       Ports  identified  as  "Diagnostic" uses	a proprietary binary interface
       used for	firmware upgrades, this	port does not have a AT	command	inter-
       face and	can not	be used	to control the device.	Other  ports  features
       an AT command interface that can	be used	for normal device control.

HARDWARE
       The uhso	driver should work with	most devices from Option.  The follow-
       ing devices have	been verified to work

          Option GlobeSurfer iCON 7.2 (new firmware)
          Option GlobeTrotter Max 7.2 (new firmware)
          Option iCON 225
          Option iCON 452
          Option iCON 505

       The  device  features  a	 mass  storage device referred to as "Zero-CD"
       which contains drivers for Microsoft Windows; this is the default  mode
       for the device.	The uhso driver	automatically switches the device from
       "Zero-CD" mode to modem mode.  This behavior can	be disabled by setting
       hw.usb.uhso.auto_switch to 0 using sysctl(8).

FILES
       /dev/cuaU?.?

EXAMPLES
       Establishing  a packet interface	connection using the AT	command	inter-
       face available at one of	the serial ports

	     AT+CGDCONT=1,,"apn.provider"
	     AT_OWANCALL=1,1,1
	     OK
	     _OWANCALL=1,1

	     AT_OWANDATA=1
	     _OWANDATA:	1, 10.11.12.13,	0.0.0.0, 10.2.3.4, 10.2.3.5, \
		     0.0.0.0, 0.0.0.0, 72000

       Configuring the interface

	     ifconfig uhso0 10.11.12.13	up
	     route add default -interface uhso0
	     echo "nameserver 10.2.3.4"	> /etc/resolv.conf
	     echo "nameserver 10.2.3.5"	>> /etc/resolv.conf

       The connection can be terminated	with

	     AT_OWANCALL=1,0,1
