28.Os
29.Sh NAME
30.Nm uhso
31.Nd support for several HSxPA devices from Option N.V.
32.Sh SYNOPSIS
33The module can be loaded at boot time by placing the following line in
34.Xr loader.conf 5 :
35.Bd -literal -offset indent
36uhso_load="YES"
37.Ed
38.Sh DESCRIPTION
39The
40.Nm
41driver provides support for several HSxPA devices from Option N.V. that are
42based on their packet interface.
43Each device has a set of serial ports and a raw IP packet interface.
44The serial ports of the device are accessed through the
45.Xr ucom 4
46driver which makes them behave like
47.Xr tty 4
48devices.
49The packet interface is exposed as a network interface.
50.Pp
51Establishing a connection on the packet interface is achieved by using the
52proprietary AT commands
53.Dq Li AT_OWANCALL
54and
55.Dq Li AT_OWANDATA
56on any of the available serial ports.
57.Pp
58The network interface must be configured manually using the data obtain from
59these calls.
60.Pp
61Each device usually have at least two or more serial ports, their individual purpose
62can be identified through
63.Xr sysctl 8 .
64Ports identified as
65.Dq Modem
66features a normal modem interface that can be used with PPP.
67Ports identified as
68.Dq Diagnostic
69uses a proprietary binary interface used for firmware upgrades, this port does not
70have a AT command interface and can not be used to control the device.
71Other ports features an AT command interface that can be used for normal device control.
72.Sh HARDWARE
73The
74.Nm
75driver should work with most devices from Option.
76The following devices have been verified to work

90.Pp
91The device features a mass storage device referred to as
92.Dq Zero-CD
93which contains drivers for Microsoft Windows; this is the default
94mode for the device.
95The
96.Nm
97driver automatically switches the device from
98.Dq Zero-CD
99mode to modem mode.
100This behavior can be disabled by setting
101.Va hw.usb.uhso.auto_switch
102to 0 using
103.Xr sysctl 8
