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

88.Pp
89The device features a mass storage device referred to as
90.Dq Zero-CD
91which contains drivers for Microsoft Windows; this is the default
92mode for the device.
93The
94.Nm
95driver automatically switches the device from
96.Dq Zero-CD
97mode to modem mode.
98This behavior can be disabled by setting
99.Va hw.usb.uhso.auto_switch
100to 0 using
101.Xr sysctl 8 .
