<p class=MsoNormal>Hello all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Just thought I would give everyone an update on my progress
with the Ericsson RBS. I got a T1 card, a Digium TE122P (http://www.digium.com/en/products/digital/te122.php).
This card support E1/T1/J1. The 2401 I have only supports T1, otherwise I would
have gotten a HFC based chipset that OpenBSC supports. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The TE122P uses the DAHDI drivers, which used to be Zaptel.
In reading through the list archives, I found a couple tidbits about Zaptel.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The first was back in February from Harald: <a
href="http://lists.gnumonks.org/pipermail/openbsc/2009-February/000023.html">http://lists.gnumonks.org/pipermail/openbsc/2009-February/000023.html</a>.
I didn’t see any updates after that. Were there updates made to make the
integration with other drivers easier? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The next I found was in March from Klaus-Peter Junghann: <a
href="http://lists.gnumonks.org/pipermail/openbsc/2009-March/000064.html">http://lists.gnumonks.org/pipermail/openbsc/2009-March/000064.html</a>.
It looks like he actually got the Zaptel driver to work. I’m not sure how
much of Zaptel has changed when the driver set was renamed to DAHDI. I did not
see a post from Mr. Junghann with the zaptel input module he spoke of.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m not sure what the interest level is with getting
OpenBSC to integrate with Ericsson RBS’s? Like I previously mentioned, I
am not much of a coder, so I can’t help much in that department. That
being said, I am willing to provide remote access to all the resources I have
here (Debian Linux 5.0 Server, RBS 2401, Windows LMT). I can also provide
access to a spec an (which would be accessed via software on the Windows LMT)
if needed down the road. I am going to look into a STA to test on a couple
ARFCN’s in the GSM1900 band, and I am more than willing to help with
handset debugging at that stage. I have quite a few different handsets lying
around! <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks much,<o:p></o:p></p>
