NAME
umsm - Qualcomm MSM modem device

SYNOPSIS
umsm* at uhub?
ucom* at umsm?

DESCRIPTION
The umsm driver supports Qualcomm MSM modem adapters. The MSM chipset is found in EVDO and UMTS capable modems. Typically these are CardBus and PCI Express Mini Cards that incorporate a USB controller with the actual device attached to it.

The following devices are known to work with the umsm driver:

Some modems have multiple serial ports, however almost all modems have only one effective serial port for PPP connections. For example, the Huawei E220 has two serial ports, but only the first port can be used to make connections; the second one is for management. The Option GlobeTrotter HSDPA/HSUPA modems have three serial ports, but only the last port can be used to make PPP connections.

EXAMPLES
An example /etc/ppp/ppp.conf configuration for Verizon Wireless might look something like below; see ppp(8) for more information.

    default:
       set device /dev/cuaU0
       set speed 230400
       set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \
                 \"\" AT OK-AT-OK ATE1Q0s7=60 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
       set phone "#777"
       set login
       set authname 4517654321@vzw3g.com
       set authkey vzw
       set timeout 120
       set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0
       add default HISADDR
       enable dns

In this example the phone number is (451) 765-4321: replace this with the number issued for the card or your phone's number if a handset is being used.

An example demand dial configuration for Cingular Wireless using pppd(8) appears below.

/etc/ppp/cingular-chat:

    TIMEOUT 10
    REPORT CONNECT
    ABORT BUSY
    ABORT 'NO CARRIER'
    ABORT ERROR
    '' ATZ OK AT&F OK
    AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","isp.cingular" OK
    ATD*99***1# CONNECT

/etc/ppp/peers/ac875:

    cuaU0
    115200
    debug
    noauth
    nocrtscts
    :10.254.254.1
    ipcp-accept-remote
    defaultroute
    user isp@cingulargprs.com
    demand
    active-filter 'not udp port 123'
    persist
    idle 600
    connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/cingular-chat"

/etc/ppp/chap-secrets:

    # Secrets for authentication using CHAP
    # client		server	secret		IP addresses
    isp@cingulargprs.com	*	CINGULAR1

pppd(8) is then started using:

    # pppd call ac875

HISTORY
The umsm device driver first appeared in OpenBSD 4.0.

AUTHORS
-nosplit The umsm driver was written by Jonathan Gray <jsg@openbsd.org>, and Yojiro UO <yuo@nui.org>.

CAVEATS
For Verizon Wireless (and possibly other services), cards require a one-time activation before they will work; umsm does not currently support this.

The additional IEEE 802.11 wireless chipset found in the Option GlobeTrotter GT FUSION is not yet supported.
