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.
