iChip RAS Server<br />

iChip defers to PPP negotiation. The (~) is the last character transmitted to the host end to<br />

signal that iChip has taken over the negotiations. Upon this event, iChip continues to<br />

negotiate a PPP connection internally in a manner similar to the procedure that occurs<br />

when iChip picks up the line after receiving RING strings. If, however, the first<br />

character received from the calling end after the CONNECT line is not a (~) (0x7E),<br />

iChip remains in Transparent mode, and a regular modem-to-modem data session takes<br />

place.<br />

27.3.2 SerialNET Mode<br />

The RAS can also be enabled while iChip is in SerialNet mode. In this case, however, the<br />

modem RING strings are not forwarded to the host serial port. Once the PPP connection<br />

is established, iChip proceeds to act as it would after receiving a RING event and creating<br />

a PPP connection to a remote RAS server. That is, a listening socket is established on the<br />

LPRT socket, available for a SerialNET connection. This provides an alternative means<br />

to wake-up a SerialNET server device.<br />

27.3.3 Lost Carrier<br />

When iChip is online as a result of a RAS connection and the carrier signal is lost (due to<br />

an error or due to the PPP client closing the connection), iChip checks if the host used the<br />

PPP connection (tried to open an Internet session) during the connection. If the host did<br />

not use the connection, or iChip was in SerialNET mode, iChip silently performs a<br />

software reset and no indication of the disconnection is given to the host. Otherwise, if<br />

the host did use the connection, iChip acts as if this is a regular session created by the<br />

host that was terminated with a lost carrier signal. The error code is returned to the host<br />

on the next command that requires the use of the connection and only then will a software<br />

reset be performed.<br />

27.3.4 Restrictions<br />

Modem RING strings are not detected while the baud rate between iChip and the host is<br />

not yet established. This means that in order to use the RAS feature, one of the following<br />

must apply:<br />

BDRF is set to a fixed value (3-9 or h).<br />

iChip is in SerialNET mode with its baud rate defined by the SNSI parameter.<br />

An a or A was previously received from the host serial port and iChip has determined<br />

the host‘s baud rate.<br />

In addition, Modem RING strings are not detected when iChip is in Modem Command<br />

(MCM) mode.
