The CMX218 is an ISDN data and telephony protocol engine which implements the lower level ISDN interface
and communicates with the CMX605 and other standard devices to form a fully integrated ISDN chipset for
both voice and data communications. The CMX218 puts all the main data processing elements in a single
device. No ISDN software has to be written and simple ‘Plug and Play’ design results. This reduces
development time and provides a highly cost-effective hardware solution. By using proven circuit designs, the
designer can move quickly from initial concept through design in to manufacture.

The CMX218 supports one voice port over the ISDN Line, which can be used to provide ISDN telephony
services or a POTS line interface, and a single data channel, capable of operation at 115,200 bps. The
CMX218 features a full set of ‘Hayes’ compatible AT command codes on its asynchronous data interface, in
addition to providing keypad-configurable voice telephony services. The CMX218’s feature set and
architecture allow most analog systems to be converted to an ISDN equivalent with enhanced features.

The CMX218 is designed to work with the AMD 79C30 S/T bus interface, the Siemens PSB-21525 HDLC
formatter and the MX-COM CMX605 POTS interface circuit, and also comes complete with embedded
applications software. To support the CMX218, MX-COM can also provide licensed reference designs on
user request. A flexible Applications Program Interface (API) allows users to customize the features and
operation of their own design. The CMX218 is available in an 80-pin QFP (CMX218S1) package.

1

The CMX218 is a data processor integrated circuit that supports the protocol layers 1, 2 and 3 of the ISDN protocol stack in accordance
with the specifications of CCITT (now ITU). These specifications, which are widely used around the world, might not be supported within
the U.S.

ISDN Data and Telephony Protocol Engine (no X.25) 8 CMX218 Advance Information

4. General Description

The CMX218 is a single-chip data processor that has been mask programmed with firmware to implement an
ISDN protocol stack. This enables the CMX218 to interface an analog (POTS) port and a digital (RS232) port
to an ISDN S-bus network connection. Key variables are stored in an external EEPROM and the user can
provide additional features by adding external ROM and RAM. Access to the firmware Application
Programmer's Interface (API) facilitates the seamless integration of the user's additional features with the pre­programmed ISDN to POTS and RS232 interfaces.

The CMX218 is intended for use as part of an ISDN chipset and all descriptions in this data sheet refer to this
implementation, which is shown diagrammatically in Figure 3. The use of alternative chipsets is not
supported.

The firmware supports connection to an ISDN S-bus
controller and the AMD AM79C30 ST controller with integral PCM codec for a single POTS port.

The CMX218 interfaces with a CMX605 Tone Generator and DTMF Receiver chip, which decodes incoming
DTMF tones and generates certain call progress signals (e.g. busy tone) normally originating from an analog
telephone exchange. The firmware translates the CMX605 data into ISDN D-channel commands and vice
versa to support both incoming and outgoing calls. For the ISDN interface, D-channel commands sufficient
for standard telephony applications are implemented. With the aid of a small amount of discrete circuitry,
exchange battery voltage, ringing current, line reversal and off-hook detection are also supported, to complete
the POTS interface.

The CMX218 also provides a data port that can drive a standard RS232 interface with the aid of a Maxim
MAX238, or similar, level converter. The firmware provides support for incoming and outgoing data calls,
RS232 auto-bauding from 9600bps to 115200bps, auto parity detection, RTS/CTS flow control, call clearing
on loss of DTR, V.120 rate adaption, PPP async to sync conversion and a comprehensive set of Hayes
commands (which facilitate the use of normal PC-based modem software). The CMX218 has dedicated
outputs for visible indicators (LEDs) that can be used to provide information on the call status. Support for
Multiple Subscriber Numbering is also included in the firmware.

The CMX218 can be configured either by means of keypad (DTMF) programming via the POTS port or by
means of an extended Hayes command set via the RS232 port. Configuration parameters allow the user to
change (for example) the format and cadence of the ringing signal, so as to facilitate use of the CMX218 in
different countries. Each POTS and RS232 interface is able to configure the variables relevant to its own use.

An Application Programmer's Interface (API) is available and is described separately in Section 4.8. Further
details are available on completion of a Non-Disclosure Agreement. Please contact MX-COM directly for
further details.

The firmware and finite state machine embedded in the CMX218 have been used in products that have
gained ETSI CTR3 approval.

ISDN Data and Telephony Protocol Engine (no X.25) 10 CMX218 Advance Information

4.2 Initialization

On power-up, the CMX218 assumes its default values, which are factory programmed into the firmware. It
then performs a self-test, during which all of the LED pins and the ILFI pin are held high for 3s. If the test is
unsuccessful, the CMX218 remains in this condition.

If the test is successful, the CMX218 reads its preset values from the attached EEPROM and examines the
state of the ISDN link (i.e. Layer 1) before commencing normal operation. On power-up, the ISDN link is de­activated, the POTS port is assumed to be on-hook, ringing is disabled and the RS232 port is in the Hayes
command state.

4.3 ISDN Interface

Simultaneous voice and data calls are possible but only one of each type. If a call is active (e.g. ringing,
connected or clearing down) and an incoming call of the same type (data or voice) is received, that call will be
rejected with user busy as the cause. Incoming calls are firstly checked for other calls present, then the MSN
is checked for validity, then the channel mapping, so that responses will be handled accordingly.

When channel mapping is enabled, outgoing calls will request the channel enabled. When not enabled, a
request for any channel is made. If no free channels are available for outgoing calls, a locally generated busy
tone is returned to the analog port or the appropriate Data Call Result Code is returned to the digital port.

4.3.1 Activation

Activation occurs in the following circumstances:

•

The ISDN network activates.

•

The device connected to the analog port goes off hook.

•

The device connected to the data port sends a Hayes dial command.

The Terminal Endpoint Identifier (TEI) is either negotiated (Hayes register !C7 = 64) or fixed (Hayes register
!C7 = 0 to 63). Line powering of the CMX218 is not supported.

The 'AR' indicator (LED8) toggles between high and low states when the CMX218 is powered up, and
remains constantly low once the CMX218 identifies an activated ISDN line.

ISDN line power detection is not implemented and the CMX218 will negotiate a new TEI on any new network
activation.

4.3.2 De-activation or Line Disconnection

De-activation or line disconnection causes the TEI to be removed. Upon re-connection the CMX218 will only
be re-activated and request a new TEI when one of the conditions in the above section is met.

4.3.3 Line Failure Detection

If the line failure detection parameter is enabled (either via the POTS port or via the RS232 interface) the
CMX218 will check that Layer 2 communications are active every sample period of 30 seconds. If Layer 2
communications are not active, the CMX218 will attempt to activate them. If they remain inactive for 2 sample
periods, the line is deemed to have failed, so then the ILFI pin is set high and both RINGP1 and RINGN1 pins
are set low. The CMX218 continues to attempt to activate the line and if it becomes active and stays active
for 2 sample periods, then the ILFI pin is set low and RINGP1 and RINGN1 pins are restored to their default
settings.

4.3.4 Incoming Calls

Incoming voice calls and calls from analog lines are directed to the analog port and all other incoming calls
are directed to the RS232 port.

ISDN Data and Telephony Protocol Engine (no X.25) 11 CMX218 Advance Information

4.3.5 Multiple Subscriber Numbering

Multiple Subscriber Numbering (MSN) enables each POTS or RS232 port of the CMX218 to have its own
telephone number. Up to 23 digits can be saved as the MSN for each port.

All incoming SETUP messages will be checked for the presence of a Called Party Number Information
Element (IE). If one is present it is compared with the saved MSN number (if present), starting with the last
digit of both numbers. Comparison continues until there are no more numbers in the MSN saved number or
the incoming Called Party Number or there is a difference between the numbers. The MSN is said to match if
the saved MSN and the incoming calls’ Called Party Number are the same for the duration of the shorter
number (i.e. if the digit ‘1’ is saved and the received Called Party Number is 654321, then the MSN matches).
If there is no saved MSN, the Called Party Number is ignored and call processing continues.

When there is a saved MSN and the Calling Party Number transmit is enabled, all outgoing call SETUP
messages will contain a Calling Party Number Information Element.

Note:

1. When a CMX218 with MSN saved and Calling Party Number transmit enabled is connected to some
exchanges, no dial tone is heard when going off-hook.

2. Disabling the Calling Party Number transmit will mean that the called party may not receive the Calling
Line Identification (CLI), or if they do receive a CLI it will probably be the base number and not the
number specific to the calling telephone.

4.3.6 Channel Mapping

It is possible to configure the CMX218 so that analog and/or digital ports will only originate calls to and
respond to calls from a specific ISDN B-channel. This is a useful feature if, for example, you wish to have a
Hunt Group on your ISDN line and only want one voice or data port to ring on an incoming call.

4.4 POTS Configuration

4.4.1 Configuration and Control via DTMF Keypad

Configuration can be carried out at any time by causing the POTS port to go off-hook and then immediately
entering a configuration sequence of DTMF tones. The sequence signaled to the CMX218 will determine the
configuration to be performed, as shown in the following table.

sequence. If any digit pressed is not a valid configuration digit, all digits pressed so far will be transmitted to
the network in INFORMATION messages as Keypad Information Elements, until a ‘#’ is entered (with the
exception of ‘$

#’ being entered, see Keypad Operation below). If the first four digits received are a valid
configuration sequence then the configuration mode is entered. When a valid configuration has been
completed the CMX218 will send a single DTMF tone to the POTS port. If a valid configuration sequence is
received but subsequent digits are invalid, then subsequent digits entered will be ignored and two DTMF
tones will be sent to the POTS port.

If the port goes on-hook part way through configuration, it will cause any digits received so far to be ignored.
Configurations can be performed consecutively with the exception of the test function (where the attached
handset must be replaced immediately after the configuration has been audibly signaled to the POTS port).
All configurations entered will be retained after a power-down as they are stored in the external EEPROM.

4.5 POTS Operation

4.5.1 Keypad Operation

The CMX218 supports ISDN keypad messages for control of Network Supplementary services either before
or during call establishment. When dialing a number (i.e. off-hook and dial tone audible on POTS port), or if a
call has been disconnected by the network but the POTS port has not yet gone on-hook, any keypad string
entered will be sent to the network as ‘Keypad Information Elements’ within INFORMATION messages.
Keypad strings are defined as the following sequences of digits, with the exception of the configuration strings
defined in the previous section:

...#

$

#

...#

$

#

...#

When a call is connected, pressing the recall key results in all subsequent key presses being sent to the
network as ‘Keypad Information Elements’ within INFORMATION messages, until the handset is replaced.
The tones generated by the key presses are also passed down the B-channel, so the remote user will be able
to hear them.

4.5.2 Incoming POTS Calls

An incoming POTS call is identified by the Bearer Capability Information Element of the SETUP message
being set to ‘Speech' or ‘3.1kHz Audio’. The call will be routed to the POTS port if it satisfies the following
three conditions:

•

The port is on-hook.

•

The MSN saved for the port matches the Called Number in the incoming SETUP message, or no MSN
is specified for the port, or there is no Called Number in the SETUP message. See Section 4.3.5 for
details of POTS port MSN selection.

•

The ISDN B-channel on which the call is placed (as indicated in the SETUP message) is compatible
with the channel mapping configuration for the port. See Section 4.3.6 for details of POTS port channel
mapping selection.

When the call is routed to the port, the ringing signal for that port will be applied by means of the RINGP1 and
RINGN1 pins.

The call is answered when the port with ringing signal goes off-hook. The ringing signal is then stopped and
the ISDN call is connected to that port.

ISDN Data and Telephony Protocol Engine (no X.25) 14 CMX218 Advance Information

4.5.3 Outgoing POTS Calls

Outgoing calls are initiated when the POTS port goes off-hook. An ISDN SETUP message is sent to the
network with the Bearer Capability Information Element set to 'Speech'. The dial tone presented by the
network on that ISDN B-channel that was selected by channel mapping (See Section 4.3.6), will be routed to
the POTS port.

When DTMF tones are received from the POTS port, they are sent to the network either as Called Party
Number or Keypad Information Elements. Keypad Information Elements are discussed in Section 4.5.1.

Receipt of a valid DTMF tone will prompt its conversion to IA5 coded digits, as shown in the following table
(IA5 hex digits are in brackets). If the first valid digit to be received is a ‘$’ then the configuration mode is
entered and subsequent digits will be monitored and saved as indicated in Section 4.4.1. If the first tone
received is not a ‘$’ or ‘#’ (See Section 4.5.1) that digit and all subsequent digits will be passed to the network
in an INFORMATION message as a Called Party Number Information Element. Digits received before the
network has returned the SETUP ACK message are saved. Upon receipt of the SETUP ACK any saved
digits will be transmitted.

The DTMF tone mapping is as shown below:

Low Group

(Hz)

High Group (Hz)

1209 1336 1477 1633
697 1 (31) 2 (32) 3 (33) A (not used)
770 4 (34) 5 (35) 6 (36) B (not used)
852 7 (37) 8 (38) 9 (39) C (not used)
941

$(2A) 0 (30)

# (23)

D (not used)

Once the network has indicated that the full number has been received, no further digits will be sent to the
network. All tones and announcements from the network (e.g. ringing, NU, busy etc) and audio (if the call is
connected) will be routed to the POTS port, until that port goes on-hook.

4.5.4 Connected Calls

Once a call is connected to the analog port, whether it was incoming or outgoing, a LED indicator pin is set
high to indicate that the call is connected. See Section 4.9.1 for details of the LED indicator pins. Once the
call is disconnected, either by receipt of a DISCONNECT message from the network or an on-hook indication,
that LED indicator pin is set low.

During a call, if a Recall (i.e. a line break of appropriate length) is received from the POTS port, the CMX218
will start to look for DTMF tones received on the POTS port. Any tones received will then be sent to the
network in ISDN INFORMATION messages, as Keypad Information Elements

.

4.5.5 Call Clearing

The call is cleared either by the port going on-hook or by the ISDN network. Note that the ISDN B-channel
that was being used is not released until the POTS port has gone on-hook.

4.6 Data Configuration

4.6.1 Hayes Command Set

The following Hayes commands are supported:

A - Answers a call
D - Dial
E - Echo Hayes commands or not
H - Hang-up
I3 - Firmware part number
Q - Result code display
V - Result code form
X - Result code set
&C - Carrier detect
&D - Data terminal ready
&F - Load factory default
&K - Flow control
&V - View active and stored profiles

Valid Hayes commands are responded to with an 'OK' result code. Invalid commands are rejected with an
'ERROR' result code.

If when entering an AT command, no command or register name suffix is supplied, a suffix of zero is
assumed. If when changing a register value, no value is supplied a value of zero or an empty string is
assumed: e.g. ATS0=<CR> is equivalent to ATS0=0<CR>.

If a data call is active when a command is entered, the command will be processed. The ATO command will
respond ‘OK’, but will not then enter the data state: it will stay in the command state.

Where commands set a parameter, these are saved in external EEPROM if they are entered correctly.
The CMX218 will auto-baud and auto-parity on Hayes commands at the following speeds:

•

9600bps

•

19200bps

•

38400bps

•

57600bps

•

115200bps

The auto-bauding process looks for the characters ‘AT’ or ‘at’ either as 8 bits no parity or 7 bits even, or odd,
parity. An error in the auto-bauding process results in auto-bauding being restarted.

After auto-bauding successfully, the CMX218 waits to receive a complete Hayes command line before
processing it. Embedded spaces are ignored and the case (upper or lower) of characters after the ‘AT’ does
not matter. The command line is terminated by <CR>, by 250 characters (not including the ‘AT’) or by a time­out (from successful auto-bauding on an ‘AT’) of 180 seconds.

All characters in the Hayes command, including the ‘AT’ and <CR> terminator are echoed (if E1 is set) by the
CMX218 as they are sent by the DTE.

Receipt of a backspace will cause the CMX218 to send a "back space, space, back space" sequence of
characters to the DTE to allow the terminal to clear its screen of the last character. Also the last character
received will be discarded unless the last characters received were the ‘AT’ used for auto-bauding, i.e. the
‘AT’ is never deleted.

The escape sequence ‘+++’ (with Guard Time = 1s before and after the sequence) will cause the CMX218 to
enter the command state from the data state and to return on ‘OK’ response. Sending an ATO command will
be ignored, i.e. the CMX218 remains in the command state.

&Z - Store directory number

ISDN Data and Telephony Protocol Engine (no X.25) 16 CMX218 Advance Information

The following is a more detailed description of the Hayes commands listed above:

A (Answer)

Format: ATA<CR>
Causes the CMX218 to answer an incoming data call, by sending a CONNECT message to the network. If

a CONNECT ACK is received the CMX218 enters the data state after returning a ‘CONNECT XXX’ result
code to the DTE on the RS232 port (where the XXX is the speed in baud). If a RELEASE, RELEASE
COMPLETE or DISCONNECT message is received a ‘NO CARRIER’ result code is returned. The
command is not valid if there is no incoming call and it will return ‘ERROR’.

D (Dial)

Format: ATD{DN}<CR>
Format: ATDT{DN}<CR>
Format: ATDP{DN}<CR>

{DN} is a directory number of up to 23 ASCII characters from 0..9, $ and #. This form of the ATD command
causes an outgoing SETUP message to be sent to the network with a Called Party Number Information
Element which contains the digits included in the command. Any commands that follow this command are
ignored.

If the CMX218 receives any character from the DTE after an ATD command, which causes a SETUP
message to be sent to the network, and before the call is connected, the attempt to make a call is abandoned,
i.e. a DISCONNECT message will be sent to the network and a ‘NO CARRIER’ result code returned.

Calls are established with the D command, irrespective of the state of the DTR pin. The result code response
is either:

'CONNECT' - call successful. The CMX218 will automatically enter the data state.
'NO CARRIER' - call rejected by the remote user or the network
'NO DIALTONE' - ISDN link down
'BUSY' - remote user busy and other causes

Calls are cleared in the following way:

i. The remote end or network clears the call by sending a DISCONNECT message or the ISDN line

fails/is removed: 'NO CARRIER' is sent to DTE.

ii. DTR is dropped (with a de-bounce period of 50ms) by DTE causing the CMX218 to send a

DISCONNECT message to the network and enter the disconnect state, awaiting a RELEASE
COMPLETE from the network. The CMX218 sends the 'OK' response when clearing of the ISDN call
is complete i.e. RELEASE and RELEASE COMPLETE messages have been transmitted across the
network, (dependant upon the state of &D command).

iii. The DTE issues the escape sequence ‘+++ ‘(with Guard Time = 1s before and after the sequence),

receives an 'OK' response and then issues the Hang-up command (see section on H command
below). The CMX218 sends the 'OK' response when clearing of the ISDN call is complete.

Incoming calls are indicated by a 'RING' result code. The call is automatically answered if S0 = 1 or more. If
S0 = 0 an ATA command must be entered, then a CONNECT message is sent to the network.

E (Echo)

Format: ATEn<CR>
Suffix n

Description
0 Echo off
1 (default) Echo on

This command tells the CMX218 whether or not to echo the characters received from the DTE when in
command mode. When echo is on, all non-control characters received from the DTE are echoed back to it.

H (Hang-up)

Format: ATH<CR>
Causes the CMX218 to clear the data call in progress. The command is not valid if there is no data call in

progress but always returns an ‘OK’ result code. It is only valid in the command state when a data call is in
operation, when it will send a DISCONNECT message to the network. Upon receipt of RELEASE, a
RELEASE COMPLETE is transmitted to the network and ‘OK’ returned to the DTE.

Format: ATVn<CR>
Suffix n

Description
0 Result codes sent as numbers (see Data Call Result Codes below)
1 (default) Result codes sent as words. This instructs the CMX218 to send the
result codes as words or numbers to the DTE.

X (Result Code Set)

Format: ATXn<CR>
Suffix n

Description
0 0...4
1 0...4, 12, 14, 18, 28, 31
2 0...4, 12, 14, 18, 28, 31

4 0...4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 18, 28, 31

This command causes the CMX218 to limit the data call result codes used to a given set. See Data Call
Result Codes below for a list of codes and their meanings.

Data Call Result Codes

The data call result codes supported are:
Numbers

Words
0 'OK'
1 'CONNECT'

accordingly.

&K (Flow Control)

Format: AT&Kn<CR>
Indicates the method of flow control to be used between the CMX218 and the DTE when in the data state.

There is no flow control when the CMX218 is in the command state.
Suffix n

Description
0 No flow control
3 (default) Bi-directional RTS/CTS signals
Flow control is only active when in an active data call, i.e. not when dealing with Hayes commands.
Flow control is applied to the DTE in the following situations:

i. The remote end signals flow control (the mechanism is protocol dependent).

ii. Several buffers of data are held waiting transmission across ISDN.

Flow control is applied to the remote end (the mechanism is protocol dependent) if excessive data is held
pending transmission to the DTE, so as to prevent local buffer overflow.

&V (View Active/Stored Profiles)

Format: AT&V<CR>
Causes the CMX218 to display the following command and register values for the stored profile:

Commands: E Q V X &C &D &K &Z

Registers: S0 S37 %A !C %E %B %D %L !B

&Z (Store Directory Number)

Format: AT&Z3={DN}<CR>
This command instructs the CMX218 to store a directory number. The stored directory number is then used

by the X.25 call setup as the ‘Calling NUA’.
A directory number consists of a string of characters from the set 0..9, $ and #. The ‘=‘ character can be

omitted. Where a store number is entered, only the value 3 will give an ‘OK’ response. The contents of the
&Z directory number are displayed by using the &V0 command. Up to 20 digits can be saved. The number
must be in quotes. e.g. at&z3 =’12345’.

4.6.2.2 Basic Configuration Parameters
!C4 (B1 Channel Mapping)

Enables data calls to be made and accepted on the B1-channel. If !C5 is set to 0 the outgoing call SETUP
message will contain a Channel Identification Information Element set to B1-channel only.

Value

Description
0 Incoming data calls on the B1-channel are rejected with ‘channel not

acceptable’ as the cause.
4 (default) Incoming data calls on the B1-channel are accepted provided no other
data call is present.

!C5 (B2 Channel Mapping)

Enables data calls to be made and accepted on the B2-channel. If !C4 is set to 0 the outgoing call SETUP
message will contain a Channel Identification Information Element set to B2-channel only.

Value

Description
0 Incoming data calls on the B2-channel are rejected with ‘channel not

acceptable’ as the cause.
4 (default) Incoming data calls on the B2-channel are accepted provided no other
data call is present.

If both !C4 and !C5 =0 no data calls will be made or received.

Note:
!C6 (MSN Directory Number)

Also refer to ISDN MSN (Section 4.3.5).
If there is a number saved in this register upon receipt of an incoming data call, the CMX218 will check for the

presence of a Called Party Number Information Element. If present it will compare the number with that
saved in the !C6 register. If they match, the call will be accepted, i.e. a ‘RING’ indication (RI pin is raised, then
lowered after 3s) is returned to the DTE. If the Called Party Number Information Element and saved MSN do
not match, the call is ignored. The command is entered as follows:

AT!C6=“nnnn”<CR> if no digits are present within the quotes, the MSN is cleared.
Up to 23 digits may be entered.

!C7 (TEI selection)

Selects the fixed or negotiated TEI used on the ISDN link. Note that the value of !C7 only takes effect when
the ISDN interface goes from de-activated to activated.

Value

Description
0-63 Fixed TEI, 0 to 63.
64 (default) Negotiated TEI.

!C8 (ISDN Line Failure Detection enable/disable)

Enables or disables Line Failure Detection. (Refer to Section 4.3.3).
Value

Description
0 Line Failure Detection disabled.
1 (default) Line Failure Detection enabled.

4.7 Data Operation

4.7.1 Incoming B-Channel Data Calls

All incoming data calls which have valid channel use and MSN are directed to the data port and cause ‘RING’
followed by the digits of the calling party number and the calling party subaddress (if received in the SETUP
message) to be returned to the DTE. The Ring Indicator (RI) pin is also raised, and then lowered after 3s.
‘RING’ text and the raising of RI for 3s is repeated every 6s until the call is cleared or answered, provided
S0=0. If S0=1 then only one RING will appear at the DTE and the RI line will be raised only once, as a
CONNECT message will be sent to the network.

If there is a saved MSN in !C6 register all outgoing call SETUP messages will contain the saved number in a
Calling Party Number Information Element.

4.7.3 Connected Calls

Once a call is connected to the digital port, whether it was incoming or outgoing, the DCD pin is set high to
indicate that the call is connected (providing &C0 command is not given). If the DCD pin is set high, the LED3
pin will be set low.

4.7.4 Call Clearing

The call is cleared either by the ATH command or by the ISDN network. When the call has been cleared, the
