Multiplexer User's Guide s Confidential / Released mo b i l e 1 Introduction Siemens GSM engines support the basic option of the multiplexer according to the ETSI TS 101 369, GSM 07.10 Multiplexer Protocol. This allows a mobile to run a triple session over a serial link interface. Outside the GSM engine, on the application side of the serial interface, another multiplexer must be integrated in order to demultiplex the signal and distribute it on the three virtual channels. The external

Multiplexer User's Guide s Confidential / Released mo b i l e 2 Multiplexer protocol an overview 2.1 Product concept and architecture The multiplexer mode enables one serial interface to transmit data to three different custo- mer applications. This is achieved by providing three virtual channels using a multiplexer (Mux). This is especially advantageous when a fax/data/GPRS call is ongoing. Using the multiplexer features, e.g. controlling the module or using the SMS service can be

Only one single air interface (RF part) is available. As mentioned before the multiplexer enables one serial interface to run three sessions simultaneously. All incoming or outgoing calls are connected to the device. Channel 1 supports the full range of functions, which is ava

The Siemens sources are packed in a *.zip file which includes a driver for Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

One way of avoiding problems may be to dedicate certain commands/features to one of the channels or to assure that the application avoids conflicts. • Call control: A voice call can be initiated, answered or ended on each channel.

If the multiplexer control channel is not established within this time, the module returns to normal AT command mode without multiplexer. This prevents the module from being blocked if, for example, AT+CMUX=0 is sent from an application that does not support the multiplexer protocol. Fax is based on a protocol, which needs t

Differences and restrictions in comparison to the unframed module are pointed out. 3.2.1 Flow control Logical flow control The internal logical flow control (FC-BIT in MSC message, see Chapter 4.3.9) represents the existing flow control to the module.

The implementation of the WinMux2k is a good example. It maps the 3 decoded channels to 3 serial interfaces as well as the logical flow control information (FC-BIT in MSC message) directly on the RTS/CTS-control lines. In this case CTS superposes the STOP information (data sending disabled) sent b

The coding includes a header and a checksum. Therefore, the direct parsing of this sequence is not possible. An escape might be undetected because the decoded time relations may be disturbed. The following transmission path for the ESC signal has been implemented: • DTR is transported within the logical channel. To

The non-error recovery mode was implemented with the basic option. The frames have a start and a stop byte. A checksum is calculated to protect the transferred data. Frame repetition is not enabled.

Each frame begins and ends with a flag sequence. Only one flag sequence occurs between any two frames. If two successive flag sequences do occur, the frame is regarded as being empty and is discarded. The flag sequence is used for the synchronization of frames. 4
