-The isdn diversion services are a supporting module working together with
-the isdn4linux and the HiSax module for passive cards.
-Active cards, TAs and cards using a own or other driver than the HiSax
-module need to be adapted to the HL<->LL interface described in a separate
-document. The diversion services may be used with all cards supported by
-the HiSax driver.

-1. Features of the i4l diversion services
- (Or what can the i4l diversion services do for me)
-
- The i4l diversion services offers call forwarding and logging normally
- only supported by isdn phones. Incoming calls may be diverted
- unconditionally (CFU), when not reachable (CFNR) or on busy condition
- (CFB).
- The diversions may be invoked statically in the providers exchange
- as normally done by isdn phones. In this case all incoming calls
- with a special (or all) service identifiers are forwarded if the
- forwarding reason is met. Activated static services may also be
- interrogated (queried).
- The i4l diversion services additionally offers a dynamic version of
- call forwarding which is not preprogrammed inside the providers exchange
- but dynamically activated by i4l.
- In this case all incoming calls are checked by rules that may be
- compared to the mechanism of ipfwadm or ipchains. If a given rule matches
- the checking process is finished and the rule matching will be applied
- to the call.
- The rules include primary and secondary service identifiers, called
- number and subaddress, callers number and subaddress and whether the rule
- matches to all filtered calls or only those when all B-channel resources
- are exhausted.
- Actions that may be invoked by a rule are ignore, proceed, reject,
- direct divert or delayed divert of a call.
- All incoming calls matching a rule except the ignore rule a reported and
- logged as ASCII via the proc filesystem (/proc/net/isdn/divert). If proceed
- is selected the call will be held in a proceeding state (without ringing)
- for a certain amount of time to let an external program or client decide
- how to handle the call.
-
-
-2. Required hard- and software
-
- For using the i4l diversion services the isdn line must be of a EURO/DSS1
- type. Additionally the i4l services only work together with the HiSax
- driver for passive isdn cards. All HiSax supported cards may be used for
- the diversion purposes.
- The static diversion services require the provider having static services
- CFU, CFNR, CFB activated on an MSN-line. The static services may not be
- used on a point-to-point connection. Further the static services are only
- available in some countries (for example germany). Countries requiring the
- keypad protocol for activating static diversions (like the netherlands) are
- not supported but may use the tty devices for this purpose.
- The dynamic diversion services may be used in all countries if the provider
- enables the feature CF (call forwarding). This should work on both MSN- and
- point-to-point lines.
- To add and delete rules the additional divertctrl program is needed. This
- program is part of the isdn4kutils package.
-
-3. Compiling, installing and loading/unloading the module
- Tracing calling and diversion information
-
-
- To compile the i4l code with diversion support you need to say yes to the
- DSS1 diversion services when selecting the i4l options in the kernel
- config (menuconfig or config).
- After having properly activated a make modules and make modules_install all
- required modules will be correctly installed in the needed modules dirs.
- As the diversion services are currently not included in the scripts of most
- standard distributions you will have to add a "insmod dss1_divert" after
- having loaded the global isdn module.
- The module can be loaded without any command line parameters.
- If the module is actually loaded and active may be checked with a
- "cat /proc/modules" or "ls /proc/net/isdn/divert". The divert file is
- dynamically created by the diversion module and removed when the module is
- unloaded.
-
-
-4. Tracing calling and diversion information
-
- You also may put a "cat /proc/net/isdn/divert" in the background with the
- output redirected to a file. Then all actions of the module are logged.
- The divert file in the proc system may be opened more than once, so in
- conjunction with inetd and a small remote client on other machines inside
- your network incoming calls and reactions by the module may be shown on
- every listening machine.
- If a call is reported as proceeding an external program or client may
- specify during a certain amount of time (normally 4 to 10 seconds) what
- to do with that call.
- To unload the module all open files to the device in the proc system must
- be closed. Otherwise the module (and isdn.o) may not be unloaded.
-
-5. Format of the divert device ASCII output
-
- To be done later
