Initialize the modem in 0710 mux mode (usually ``AT+CMUX=`` command) through + its serial port. Depending on the modem used, you can pass more or less + parameters to this command. + +#.

Use these devices as plain serial ports. + + For example, it's possible: + + - to use *gnokii* to send / receive SMS on ``ttygsm1`` + - to use *ppp* to establish a datalink on ``ttygsm2`` + +#. First close all virtual ports before closing the physical port. + + Note that after closing the physical port the modem is still in multiplexing + mode.
