UHSO(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual UHSO(4)NAME
uhso -- Option N.V. Wireless WAN modem driver
SYNOPSIS
uhso* at uhub? port ?
HARDWARE
The uhso driver supports at least the following adapters:
GlobeSurfer HSUPA
GlobeSurfer iCON 7.2
GlobeTrotter Express 40x
GlobeTrotter Express HSUPA
GlobeTrotter HSUPA
GlobeTrotter Max HSDPA
GlobeTrotter Module 382
GlobeTrotter iCON 225
GlobeTrotter iCON 321
GlobeTrotter iCON 322
GlobeTrotter iCON 401
GlobeTrotter iCON 505
GlobeTrotter iCON EDGE
DESCRIPTION
The Option N.V. modems appear at first as a umass(4) device containing the Windows and MacOS drivers and, upon receipt of a SCSI "REZERO
UNIT" command, will detach from the USB bus and reattach as a Wireless WAN modem. Unless disabled by clearing the sysctl(8) variable
hw.uhso.autoswitch, the driver will handle that automatically.
The modems provide a number of IO channels spread over several USB interfaces which are mapped by function to a standard port number in each
driver instance. The defined channels are:
Channel Name Port
Control 0
Diagnostic 1
Diagnostic 2 2
Application 3
Application 2 4
GPS 5
GPS Control 6
PC Smartcard 7
Modem 8
MSD 9
Voice 10
Network 11
Apart from the Network port, which is attached as a network interface, the ports are attached as tty(4) devices using the port number as the
minor device number. In order to connect using pppd(8), the Modem tty should be used (eg /dev/ttyHS0.08).
The Network port provides a direct IPv4 interface, but before this can be used the modem needs to be placed in connected mode and network
settings subsequently retrieved using the proprietary "_OWANCALL" and "_OWANDATA" AT commands on the Control port.
Note that the Modem and Network ports should not be enabled at the same time for USB performance reasons.

This driver originated as the hso module for FreeBSD written by Frederik Lindberg. It was rewritten for NetBSD, and to provide more complete
device support with information extracted from the hso driver for Linux provided by Option N.V.

ports(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual ports(7)NAME
ports, port_names - Device (tty and lp) names for serial and parallel ports
SYNOPSIS
Default Serial Ports:
/dev/tty00
/dev/tty01 (not present on a single-port system)
Parallel Port:
/dev/lp0
DESCRIPTION
AlphaStation and AlphaServer systems provide one or two 9-pin serial communication ports. These ports are usually labelled 1 (COMM1) and 2
(COMM2), but they may be identified by different icons. Using the appropriate serial cable and terminator, you can connect a serial
printer, external modem, or character-cell terminal to a serial port. Most AlphaStation and AlphaServer systems also provide one parallel
port, for use with a parallel printer.
When you add a device to your system, the installation documentation may instruct you to map the device pathname to the port. These
devices are located in the /dev directory.
For serial-line ports, the two default device pathnames are: This pathname always maps to 1, COMM1, the lowest port number, an icon for a
terminal console, or the only serial port (on a single-port system). This pathname always maps to 2, COMM2, the next numbered port, or (if
one serial port is labeled with an icon for a terminal console) the remaining serial port.
If your system hardware has been extended to include additional serial ports, the pathnames /dev/tty02, /dev/tty03, and so forth, may also
be available to you. However, most systems have only /dev/tty00 and /dev/tty01 as the device pathnames for serial ports.
The one parallel port on an AlphaStation or AlphaServer may be labeled with the word printer or a printer icon. On some systems, the paral-
lel port may not be labeled. The device pathname for the parallel port is /dev/lp0. Currently, Tru64 UNIX does not fully support parallel
printers, so fewer devices are connected to this port as compared to serial ports.
If you are connecting a terminal console to your system, it must be connected to the serial port mapped to /dev/tty00. For other serial
devices, it does not matter which of the serial ports you choose for the connection. For example, suppose you are setting up a system that
has two serial ports, labeled 1 and 2. You intend to use a serial-line terminal rather than a workstation monitor as the system console and
also want to connect a serial-line printer to the system. In this case, you must connect the terminal to the port labeled 1 (with the
device pathname /dev/tty00). Therefore, you must connect the printer to the remaining port labeled 2 (with the device pathname /dev/tty01).
If, for the same type of system, you intend to use a workstation monitor as the system console, it does not matter which serial port you
use for a serial-line printer or modem. In other words, you can connect the printer to either port 1 (with pathname /dev/tty00) or port 2
(with pathname /dev/tty01). When prompted to enter a /dev/tty** pathname by the lprsetup script or the Print configuration tool in the CDE
Application Manager, you would specify /dev/tty00 if you connected the printer to port 1 or /dev/tty01 if you connected the printer to port
2.

modem(7) reference page for more information on setting up modems.
