Modem Creation with USBSER-issue

sethu_raman · July 5, 2012, 5:33am

I am making use of USEBSER.SYS in my inf. There is no problem in driver installation and the device is working fine with the driver detected, both in
win7 and winxp.

In winxp,a new virtual com port will be created and the corresponding modem will be created automatically with the virtual port created.
So my intention is to create a dialup connection to establish PPP between my device and laptop. So i have to use the modem created in the above step.
Now,I am able to communicate with my device using dial up connection.

But in win7, the modem is not getting created after the successful installation of driver followed by virtual port creation. So i have to manually create a modem with the port created , which is happening automatically in winxp. Once i created the modem manually, i am able to create a Dial Up connection to communicate with my device.

Can’t the modem created automatically as it happens in xp?
Is this the default behavior of win7?
Is there any thing to be handled in my inf to support automatic modem creation in win 7 ?

Note:
I am pro-grammatically automating the dialup connection creation process using windows programming using c language.

sethu_raman · July 14, 2012, 2:30am

Please ignore my previous email as am illustrating the problem here clearly.

My duty is to install a driver for my USB(Laptop End) to serial(RS232-Embedded Device end) embedded device (like mobile phone). So, i am installing the driver USBSER.sys ,which creates a virtual com port. This part is successful.

Please extract the zip file attached(MDM_Creation) and click the html file to view the video presentation.

http://www27.zippyshare.com/v/36845932/file.html

As in the video file, my code has to install a driver for the modem as how windows does.

Also, please find the attachment(Alternate.zip) for the alternate method of modem installation. Click on the html file to view the video.

http://www27.zippyshare.com/v/52619079/file.html

As i need to create the DialUp connection pro-grammatically, i have to automate the modem installation process in code. Please assist me on this.

Thanks in advance…

Why don’t you just change your usbser INF to install as a modem, instead of installing as a COM port and layering a modem on top of that port? You realize you can do this, right? If memory serves, usbser will read the setup class of your device and create the appropriate device interface (either modem or serial port).

A modem is usually enumerated by serenum.

Doron_Holan · July 17, 2012, 1:27am

A modem connected to a physical serial port is usually enumerated by serenum. It is quite normal to layer usbser and modem.sys in the same stack for a device which has an “embedded” serial port where it can only be a modem

Thanks for your replies. I hope you understood my problem clearly by
spending sometime in watching the video presentation. Could you please
explain me a bit more on this with some references and samples. Its too
hard for me to understand as I’m a new to this. Please explain me!

sethu_raman · July 17, 2012, 10:57am

Dear Doron,

I doesn’t mean in that way, and sorry for that. I just asked some reference
tech notes or some links to understand more clearly.

Here is my issue in text format:
I follow the below steps to create a LAN connection between my PC and
device.

Create a new connection -> setup an advanced connection -> Connect directly
to another computer -> guest -> Computer name -> *Select a device (
Communication port ( COM 10 ) )* -> Anyone’s use -> Finish

Now a new connections gets created successfully and I can connect to my
device.

Note : COM10 is the virtual port created when USBSER.sys is installed.

My query here is, at this step
*Select a device ( Communication port ( COM 10 ) )* A new modem gets
created and below is the setupapi.log for this. Is there any APIs to create
a new modem? How windows create a modem silently without displaying any
messages to the user? How can I achieve the same?

SetupApi.log:
[2012/07/17 20:00:02 120.4629 Driver Install]
#-019 Searching for hardware ID(s): pnpc031
#-198 Command line processed: C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXE
#I022 Found “PNPC031” in C:\WINDOWS\INF\mdmhayes.inf; Device:

“c:\windows\inf\mdmhayes.inf”.

#I060 Set selected driver.

#-011 Installing section [M2700] from “c:\windows\inf\mdmhayes.inf”.
#I121 Device install of “ROOT\PNPC031\0001” finished successfully.

In another way I created a new modem by following below steps :

Controlpanel -> Phone and modem options -> modems -> add -> Dont detect my
modem; I will select from the list -> Communication between two cables -> *
COM10* ( virtual COM port created when I installed USBSER.sys ) -> Finish.

By doing this a new modem gets created named “Communiction cable between
two computers #1” and it is mapped with COM10.
How to do this using APIs?

The below is the SetupApi.log for the above steps :
[2012/07/17 20:19:23 5868.17 Driver Install]
#-198 Command line processed: “C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe”

LAN? or maybe PPP?
