121 The devices accept the following device specific ioctl calls
122 (defined in gigaset_dev.h):
123
124 ioctl(int fd, GIGASET_REDIR, int *cmd);
125 If cmd==1, the device is set to be controlled exclusively through the
126 character device node; access from the ISDN subsystem is blocked.
127 If cmd==0, the device is set to be used from the ISDN subsystem and does
128 not communicate through the character device node.
129
130 ioctl(int fd, GIGASET_CONFIG, int *cmd);
131 (ser_gigaset and usb_gigaset only)
132 If cmd==1, the device is set to adapter configuration mode where commands
133 are interpreted by the M10x DECT adapter itself instead of being
134 forwarded to the base station. In this mode, the device accepts the
135 commands described in Siemens document "AT-Kommando Alignment M10x Data"
136 for setting the operation mode, associating with a base station and
137 querying parameters like field strengh and signal quality.
138 Note that there is no ioctl command for leaving adapter configuration
139 mode and returning to regular operation. In order to leave adapter
140 configuration mode, write the command ATO to the device.
141
142 ioctl(int fd, GIGASET_BRKCHARS, unsigned char brkchars[6]);
143 (usb_gigaset only)
144 Set the break characters on an M105's internal serial adapter to the six
145 bytes stored in brkchars[]. Unused bytes should be set to zero.
146
147 ioctl(int fd, GIGASET_VERSION, unsigned version[4]);
148 Retrieve version information from the driver. version[0] must be set to
149 one of:
150 - GIGVER_DRIVER: retrieve driver version
151 - GIGVER_COMPAT: retrieve interface compatibility version
152 - GIGVER_FWBASE: retrieve the firmware version of the base
