ISDN HIX V4 exceed a certain level. An application can also prompt the i-modul ISDN HIX V4 via a control line to interrupt the data flow. As an alternative, the i-modul ISDN HIX V4 can control the data flow via XOFF/XON characters in the data stream.
ISDN HIX V4 Meaning of the Symbols and the Formatting in this Meaning of the Symbols and the Formatting in this Manual This section describes the definition, formatting and symbols used in this manual. The various symbols are meant to help you read and find the information relevant to you.
This chapter describes the basic procedures to operate and configure an i-modul ISDN HIX V4. In general, the i-modul ISDN HIX V4 is configured and operated via AT commands. You can enter these commands yourself with the help of a terminal program and the AT command reference.

Functions Establishing or Accepting a Data Connection The i-modul ISDN HIX V4 can call another ISDN TA (ISDN Terminal Adapter) via the phone line and establish a data connection. After dialling a phone number, the i- modul ISDN HIX V4 synchronises with the called TA and opens a data connection.

V4 can send a message in case of an alarm. This message can be sent via data connection, as SMS or as e-mail via a service provider. The i-modul ISDN HIX V4 evaluates a connection of the input to ground as alarm. If no positive edge is counted at least 4 seconds after the negative edge, an alarm will be processed.
The reason for this is that incoming data are immediately transmitted to the called remote terminal. An established connection is indicated by the i-modul ISDN HIX V4 by the "OH" LED and "DCD" LED on the housing front.

ISDN HIX V4 6.2.2 Disabling an Automatic Call If the function "automatic call" is enabled, the i-modul ISDN HIX V4 does not accept AT commands anymore. To be able to configure the i-modul ISDN HIX V4 again, you must disable the function.
The hardware data flow control works in two directions. When the critical buffer level is exceeded, the i-modul ISDN HIX V4 will set the CTS line to "low" and will thus indicate to the application to interrupt the data flow. When the buffer is emptied sufficiently for the i-modul ISDN HIX V4 to be able to receive data again, the CTS line is set to "high".
ISDN HIX V4 6.3.2 Software Data Flow Control with XON/XOFF When the input buffer of the i-modul ISDN HIX V4 exceeds a certain fill state, the i- modul ISDN HIX V4 will insert an XOFF character into the data stream to the application.
Functions Remote Configuration You can configure the i-modul ISDN HIX V4 with another ISDN TA from remote. You can configure a password, authorised callers as well as a remote configuration number to restrict access. The configuration is performed via the TA+Configurator.
AT**rmsn=<phonenumber> configuration number, use the command 6.4.3 Configuring the Remote Configuration Password You can enter a password at the i-modul ISDN HIX V4 to increase the safety of the remote configuration. No password is entered in default setting. Configuration with AT commands In order to define a password, use the AT**rpwd=<password>...
The i-modul ISDN HIX V4 ignores each incoming call with a phone number, which does not match with one of the entries of the list. The i-modul ISDN HIX V4 compares the number of the caller with each entry of the list for this. The comparison starts with the last digit of the phone number.
ISDN Basic Access 6.5.1 Configuration at Multipoint Interface (PMP, Point-to-Multipoint) In order to operate the i-modul ISDN HIX V4 at a multipoint interface, you must configure it accordingly and configure an own phone number (MSN). The MSN is always configured without area code.
Functions Control Outputs The i-modul ISDN HIX V4 provides two control outputs, OUT1 and OUT2. They can be controlled independently of each other via AT commands. The outputs can also be switched via remote configuration. The outputs remain in a state until this is changed by a switch command.
ISDN HIX V4 TA+Configurator The i-modul ISDN HIX V4 has a further command set, the so-called "TA+Configurator", besides the AT command set. This special command set is used in a terminal program after changing to the "TA+Configurator" besides the AT commands.
6.8 Configuring the Transfer Protocol The information transfer in the ISDN B channel is performed via dedicated protocols. The i-modul ISDN HIX V4 supports different ISDN protocols, which can be used for specific applications. The following table lists all protocols supported by the i-modul ISDN HIX V4 with application examples.
CLIP (Calling Line Identification Presentation). This function can be used for example to acknowledge messages, which are sent to a mobile phone by an application via the i-modul ISDN HIX V4. The CLIP of the caller is output in the format [xxxxxxxx].
6.10 Resetting the Device The i-modul ISDN HIX V4 can be reset (restarted) in several ways: By briefly disconnecting the power supply, by pressing the Reset key at the front for at least three seconds, by connecting the "RESET" input to GND for at least three seconds, or using an AT command.
ISDN Error Messages i-modul ISDN HIX V4 ISDN Error Messages The exact failure cause is recorded in the protocol memory of the i-modul ISDN HIX V4 in case of a faulty connection establishment. Possible error messages are described here; a complete list of the possible error messages can be found in the subsequent table (refer to section 7.1).
