CAPIPLUGIN(8)                                                    CAPIPLUGIN(8)



NAME
       capiplugin - Plugin for pppd (Point-to-Point Protocol daemon)


SYNOPSIS
       pppd [options] plugin capiplugin.so [options for capiplugin]
       before pppd 2.4.1:
       pppd    [options]   plugin   /usr/lib/pppd/<pppd-version>/capiplugin.so
       [options for capiplugin]


DESCRIPTION
       The capiplugin provides a method to use PPP over ISDN  with  ISDN  con-
       trollers  that  provide a CAPI2.0 interface.  The plugin is responsible
       for the call setup with CAPI2.0.  You can dial out, wait  for  incoming
       calls  and set up communication over leased lines. It implements a fea-
       ture to reject an incoming call and callback. This feature can also  be
       used  when  dialing  out.  In this case, the party called has to reject
       the call and call back soon.  When using dial-on-demand it is  possible
       let  both parties setup the connection, that means while the pppd is in
       dial-on-demand mode not only an outgoing paket  but  also  an  incoming
       call  can  trigger  the  connection  setup. This can also combined with
       callback to assign the cost to one side only (COSO).


PPPD VERSIONS
       The plugin interface of the pppd is binary incompartible  between  dif-
       ferent  version  of  the  pppd.  So you need a different capiplugin for
       every version of the pppd. The different plugins will be in the  direc-
       tory  /usr/lib/ppp/<pppd-version>.  Since 2.4.1 pppd checks if the ver-
       sion of the plugin matches and also search the plugins in these  direc-
       tories. With pppd versions before 2.4.1 you need to specify the absolut
       pathname of the plugin.


HOW IT WORKS
       The capiplugin registers a new_phase_notifier and its  own  options  to
       the  pppd  when  loaded.  When the pppd goes into phase SERIALCONN, the
       capiplugin set up a connection and sets  the  global  variable  devnam.
       The capiplugin will register a timer function that is called every sec-
       ond to handle the CAPI messages while pppd is running.  To notify  pppd
       when CAPI messages arrive, the CAPI file desciptor is added to the list
       of file descriptors which the pppd monitors for input.  Once  the  con-
       nection is set up the pppd will start PPP negotiation on device devnam.
       When the pppd enters the DEAD phase, the connection will be dropped (if
       it  is  still active) When operating in dial-on-demand mode with wakeup
       on incoming calls, in phase DORMANT the plugin will  setup  CAPI2.0  to
       accept  incoming  calls.  To wakeup pppd when an incoming call arrives,
       the plugin will generate an UDP paket to the discard port  (9)  of  the
       gateway,  so  don't filter this paket or wakeup by incoming a call will
       not work.

OPTIONS
       avmadsl
              make an DSL connection with the Fritz!Card DSL controller.   The
              parameters  for  the  DSL  connection  will  be loaded from file
              /etc/drdsl/adsl.conf. This file can be edited or will be created
              by the program drdsl.


       cbdelay <seconds>
              Number  of seconds to wait before callback, when acting as dial-
              in server with callback. Default value is 2 seconds.


       cbnumber <phone numbers>
              List of phone numbers for callback, separated  by  commas,  when
              acting as dial-in server with callback.


       cbwait <seconds>
              Time  to wait for callback before giving up. Default value is 60
              seconds.


       channels <channel specification>
              List of b-channels or ranges to activate leased line mode, sepa-
              rated by commas.


       cli <phone numbers>
              List of numbers from which incoming calls will be accepted, sep-
              arated by commas.


       clicb  The option is retained  for  compartiblity  reasons  only.   Use
              option coso local or coso remote instead.
              Enable  callback  mode.   When option number is set, call number
              and wait for callback.  When option number is not set, wait  for
              incoming  call,  reject  the call and call back.  This option is
              optional if the cbnumber option is set.


       connectdelay <seconds>
              Number of seconds to wait after a connection is set  up,  before
              PPP negotiation starts. Default value is 0 seconds.  This option
              is useful when connecting with protocol  modem.   Some  Internet
              access  servers  will  hang  up  if they receive data immediatly
              after the connection is established.


       controller <controller specification>
              For point-to-multipoint <controller specification> is  only  the
              CAPI  2.0  controller number, default is 1.  For point-to-point,
              specify <controller number>,<ddi>,<length of internal numbers>


       coso caller
              No callback is done, the costs are assigned to the caller.


       coso local
              The costs are assigned to the local party.  On an incoming  call
              pppd will reject the call and callback.


       coso remote
              The  costs  are  assigned  to the remote party.  On an outcoming
              call the remote party will reject the call and callback.


       dialmax <times>
              Maximum number of times the  list  of  phone  numbers  is  tried
              before giving up.  Default value is 4.


       dialtimeout <seconds>

       inmsn <msn>
              List of phone numbers to monitor for calls, separated by commas.
              If this option is not set, the value of option msn is used.


       msn <msn>
              Phone number used to make outgoing calls. Also used for incoming
              calls if option inmsn is not set.


       number <phone numbers>
              List of phone numbers to call, separated by commas.  Every  num-
              ber in the list is called until a connection can be established.
              When the end of the list is reached, the first number is  called
              again.  See option dialmax.


       numberprefix <prefix>
              phone  number  to  dial  to access an outside line. For example,
              numberprefix 0.


       protocol hdlc | x75 | v42bis | modem | v110async | v120async
              ISDN protocol to use. With hdlc and adskpppoe, the  sync  option
              must  be  added to the pppd.  With x75, v42bis, modem, v110async
              and v120async the sync option MUST NOT be enabled. Default value
              is   hdlc.   Not  all  controllers  support  v42bis,  modem  and
              v120async.  Use capiinfo(8) to view  which  features  your  con-
              troller supports.


       redialdelay <seconds>
              Number  of seconds to wait between redialing. Default value is 5
              seconds.


       voicewakeup
              With this option a incoming voicecall can  trigger  an  outgoing
              connection setup.


EXAMPLE FOR NORMAL DIAL OUT
       Probably  the  most  common use of pppd is to dial out to an ISP.  This
       can be specified with a command like

              pppd call isp

       where the /etc/ppp/peers/isp file is set up by the system administrator
       to resemble the following:

EXAMPLE OF WAIT FOR DIAL IN WITHOUT CLI AUTHENTICATION
       Wait for incoming calls, accept them according to options  msn,  inmsn,
       and protocol.

       Do  not provide option cli to the capiplugin.  Start a pppd for every b
       channel.  Authorization is checked using PAP or CHAP and the ip numbers
       are  assigned  according  to the /etc/ppp/pap-secrets or /etc/ppp/chap-
       secrets file.  Assume that the server has ip  number  192.168.0.1,  the
       clients  are  to  be assigned the ip numbers starting from 192.168.0.2,
       and the hostname of the server is "dialinserver".  Add these two  lines
       to the /etc/inittab file:

              p0:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/pppd call incoming-noncli
              p1:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/pppd call incoming-noncli

       where the /etc/ppp/peers/incoming-noncli file is set up to resemble the
       following:

              sync
              auth
              plugin capiplugin.so
              inmsn MSN
              protocol hdlc 192.168.0.1:

       with the files /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and /etc/ppp/chap-secrets set up to
       resemble the following:

              user1 dialinserver PASSWORD1 192.168.0.2
              user2 dialinserver PASSWORD2 192.168.0.3


EXAMPLE OF WAIT FOR DIAL IN WITH CLI AUTHENTICATION
       Wait  for  incoming calls, accept them according to options msn, inmsn,
       cli and protocol.

       Start a pppd for every client.  Assume that the server  has  ip  number
       192.168.0.1  and the clients are to be assigned the ip numbers starting
       from 192.168.0.2.  Add these three lines to the /etc/inittab file:

              p0:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/pppd   call   incoming-cli   cli   04711
              192.168.0.1:192.168.0.2
              p1:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/pppd   call   incoming-cli   cli   04712

              192.168.0.1:192.168.0.4


       where  the  /etc/ppp/peers/incoming-cli  file is set up to resemble the
       following:

              sync
              noauth
              plugin capiplugin.so
              inmsn MSN
              protocol hdlc


EXAMPLE OF WAIT FOR DIAL IN WITH CLI AUTHENTICATION AND CALLBACK
       Wait for incoming calls, accept them according to options  msn,  inmsn,
       cli and protocol, reject incoming calls and call back.

       Start  a  pppd  for every client.  Assume that the server has ip number
       192.168.0.1 and the clients are to be assigned the ip numbers  starting
       from 192.168.0.2.  Add these three lines to the /etc/inittab file.

EXAMPLE OF A LEASED LINE CONNECTION WITH V42BIS
       Assume that the server has ip number 192.168.0.1 and the peer  has  the
       ip  number  192.168.0.2.   Add  this  line to the /etc/inittab file for

              channels 1 192.168.0.1:192.168.0.2

       and this line to the /etc/inittab file for server 1 (192.168.0.2):

              p0:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/pppd  call  leased-v42bis  controller  1

CAVEATS
       Every  pppd awaiting incoming calls can receive an incoming call first.
       So when two pppds are started to monitor the same  MSN,  one  with  CLI
       Authentication and the other without, the following can happen:

              The  Client  with the CLI specified to the first pppd calls, but
              the pppd without the cli option  receives  the  call  first  and
              accepts it.

       To  combine CLI Authentication and PAP/CHAP Authentication, use one MSN
       for CLI authenticated calls and another for the PAP/CHAP  authenticated
       calls.


DIAGNOSTICS
       Messages  are  sent  to the syslog daemon just as in normal pppd opera-
       tion; see the pppd manual page.
