GSM0710MUXD(8)						      System Manager's Manual						    GSM0710MUXD(8)

NAME

       gsm0710muxd - a gsm 07.10 muxer

SYNOPSIS

       gsm0710muxd [options]

DESCRIPTION

       A  gsm  muxer is needed to keep a ppp/gprs up & running while sms and calls are still signaled on another channel. Some modems even support
       using gprs while a call is active, others suspend gprs during calls.

       The muxer supports various options to change the behaviour for different modems. Use -h to see a brief help screen.

       All logging is done through syslog, see the syslog for errors and warnings.

COMMAND-LINE OPTIONS
       -d   Fork, get a daemon (default: no)

       -v   Verboser logging (give twice for even more verbose)

       -s <serial port name>
	    Serial port device to connect to (default: /dev/modem)

       -t <timeout>
	    reset modem after this number of seconds of silence (default: 0)

       -P <pin-code>
	    PIN code to unlock SIM (default: <not set>). This is normally not needed but some modems need the pin before enabling the muxer mode.

       -p <number>
	    use ping and reset modem after this number of unanswered pings (default: 0)

       -l <filename>
	    set logfile name (default: <not set>)

       -x <dir>
	    power managment base dir (default: <not set>)

       -a <mode>
	    additional_functionality (default: 0). This is a bit-set enabling quirks for different modem. The quirks are: WAKEUP_WITH_SYSFS  =	1,
	    WAKEUP_WITH_SEQUENCE = 2, SIEMENS_C35 = 4, ENFORA = 8, SHORT_INIT = 16.

       -b <baudrate>
	    muxer-mode baudrate (default: 115200)

       -B <baudrate>
	    serial port baudrate (default: 115200)

       -m <mode>
	    Mode (basic, advanced) (default: advanced)

       -f <framsize>
	    Frame size (default: 64)

       -h   Show a help message and display current settings.

HISTORY

       The name 'gsm0710muxd' was choosen because the gsm specs describe this method in document 7.10.

BUGS
/LIMITATIONS
       gsm0710muxd There may accure bufferoverruns and thus missing data between muxer and client under certain situations.

       Some  settings  could be determined by a AT-command at startup. This wouldn't be much reliable because modems often lie so i did not invest
       to much work in this.

FAXSTATE(8)                                                   System Manager's Manual                                                  FAXSTATE(8)

NAME

       faxstate - control ``modem state'' of a device used by HylaFAX

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/faxstate [ -q queue-dir ] [ -s state ] [ -n ] modem

DESCRIPTION

       faxstate  sends  a  message  to  the  HylaFAX  faxgetty(8) process servicing modem telling it to use the specified state when notifying the
       HylaFAX scheduler that a modem is ready and available for use.  This is useful for controlling outbound  use  of  a  modem;  by  marking  a
       modem's state as busy or down the HylaFAX scheduler will not assign any outbound jobs to the modem.

       The  specified  modem can either be the name (typically the last component of the terminal port the modem is attached to), or the full name
       of the associated FIFO named pipe file, e.g. ``FIFO.ttym2''.

       If the -n option, faxstate emulates what faxgetty would do; sending a message directly to the faxq  process  marking  the  specified  modem
       down,  busy,  or  ready.   This  interface is useful for send-only environments in which faxgetty processes are not used.  Note that modems
       manipulated in this way must previously have been configured with the faxmodem(8) program.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -n        Contact faxq directly instead of faxgetty.

       -q dir    Use a spooling area other than /var/spool/hylafax.

       -s        Specify the state to send the faxq process each time the modem becomes ready for use; one of ``busy'', ``down'',  and  ``ready''.
                 The default state to use is ready.

FILES

       Consult hylafax-server(5) for a complete discussion of the structure and content of the spooling area.
