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 com‐
mands: minicom(1), seyon(1), XCept(1), uucico(8), mgetty(8), dip(8),
pppd(8) and more. When enabled during kernel configuration, the emula‐
tor 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 com‐
mands. 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 num‐
ber, while for EAZs x should be only the last digit of the Num‐
ber.
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 typ‐
ing 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
0 (default 0)
Number of rings on which the "modem" will answer. (S0=0 will
disable auto 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
is ignored and the Layer-2-protocol is automatically set
with the following values to match the service of the
incoming call:

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