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) de-
     vices.  The packet interface is exposed as a network interface.

     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	individ-
     ual  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 interface and can
     not be used to control the device.  Other ports features an AT command  in-
     terface that can be used for normal device control.

HARDWARE
     The  uhso	driver should work with most devices from Option.  The following
     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).

EXAMPLES
     Establishing a packet interface connection using the AT  command  interface
     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
