I can't help with Linux (I use Windows), however I noticed
this in mISDN (hfc_multi.c) a while ago:
case 1: /* HFC-E1 OEM */
/* 2 red blinking: NT mode deactivate
* 2 red steady: TE mode deactivate
* left green: L1 active
* left red: frame sync, but no L1
* right green: L2 active
*/
So I would guess that there is a synchronisation problem which is not
related to the TEI setting. Maybe there is something wrong with the
wire connection. If you can see the signal sent from the E1 card at
the BS-11 and there is also a signal sent from the BS-11, than probably
the signal from the BS-11 is not received by the E1 card so it could
not synchronize on it.
Best regards,
Dieter

Hello Everybody,
I'm just trying to connect the E-1 host card to the BS-11, but I can't
get it work. The serial connection works fine, I'm also seeing the
"Abis-link: Restoring" message.
My hardware configuration:
1) I removed the green jumpers TB01 - TB04
2) Jumper settings below the Twinax-board: 1-4 ON, 5-8 OFF
3) HFC-E1: NT Mode, Config A (all jumpers on the left side to the left)
4) 'hfcmulti' modprobed with 'dslot=1'
5) Forced the BS-11 to use correct TEI and E1 slot by using 'bs11_config'
Have I missed something? I put a scope upon the rx/tx pins - traffic
flows into both directions, so I think there's no collision (tx->tx, rx->rx)
Thanks,
Holger

The polarity does not care, you can exchange TX+ with TX- and RX+
with RX-. A simple test for just the correct wire without connection
the BS-11:
- On the cable which goes to Y01 you should be able to see a
signal with an oscilloscop between TX+ and TX-.
- If you connect the two TX lines with the two RX lines (loopback,
polarity does not care), the card should synchronise and the LEDs
should not longer blink. Attention: I have tested this on Windows
only, with a loopback, I can see that the card synchronises, however
I don't know what mISDN does, but I guess it will also synchronise.
If this works, you know that the cable is OK.
Best regards,
Dieter

Hi All!
I'll be on holidays pretty much throughout the time from March 4th through
March 25th. I will check my email only in very irregular intervals,
particularly not after March 11.
I will try to get back to any inquiries after I have returned. Meanwhile,
the list (particularly subscribers like zecke, dieter spaar, nibbler and
others) will hopefully be able to adress all issues you might have.
Regards,

Hi Folks,
yesterday i´ve tried to do the initial config of my BS-11.
But i have a problem after warmup while querying the BS-11:
rene@nb-stegmaier:~/data/development/bs-11/svn/trunk/openbsc/src
$ ./bs11_config -p /dev/ttyUSB0 query
bs11_config (C) 2009 by Harald Welte and Dieter Spaar
This is FREE SOFTWARE with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY
LMT LOGON: ACK
PHASE: 1 Software required Abis-link: Down
No valid Safety Load file "BTSBMC76.SWI"
PHASE: 1 Software required Abis-link: Down
No valid Safety Load file "BTSBMC76.SWI"
Whatis going wrong?
I read in the wiki that the projekt doesn't provide any firmware images,
but how can i get the BS-11 working?
Is there any way to generate this "Safety Load file" and upload it to
the BS-11?
cheers,
René

Hello Everybody,
we have several Tektronix K1103 protocol analyzers standing around here
and it was quite complicated to get the pinout of the SUB-D 9 connectors.
Monitor A:
Pin Purpose
9 RX+B
4 RX-B
6 RX+A
1 RX-A
2,3,4 GND
A = E-1-Linecard -> BTS
B = BTS -> E-1-Linecard
Monitor C:
9 RX+D
5 RX-D
6 RX+C
1 RX-C
2,3,4 GND
Telephone socket:
1 mic input (-)
2 hearer output (+)
3 hearer output (-)
4 mic input (+)
Factsheet of this analyzer:

hi!
I've put together a new page at
http://bs11-abis.gnumonks.org/trac/wiki/BS11_Getting_Started
which explains the individual steps from unpacking the BTS, verifying its
configuration using bs11_config up to connecting and getting it up and running
with a HFC-E1 Eval Board and the bsc_hack program.
Once again, feel free to add information to the wiki, I will happily provide
accounts to every user!
Regards,

Hi!
I'm sending this mail to all recent buyers of a BS-11.
I would like to ask you to raise any questions you might have regarding
setup/configuration/installation of the BS-11 unit or OpenBSC at the
openbsc(a)lists.gnumonks.org
mailing list. You can subscribe to the list online at
https://lists.gnumonks.org/mailman/listinfo/openbsc
The benefit of asking your question at this list is that other BS-11 / OpenBSC
users and developers will see your questions and learn from the answers or at
some point even provide the respective answers themselves.
I would also want to invite you to contribute to our wiki at
http://bs11-abis.gnumonks.org/. We do not allow public editing, so if you
want an account, just email me privately and I will send you username and
password.
I hope we can now finally start to build a community around the project, with
some 30 BS-11 distributed to various GSM enthusiasts all over the world.
Regards,
--

Hello,
Does anyone has a sample database to test the hlrstat.pl script against ?
I am specifically after the subscriber database.
Best regards,

Hi!
Some of you have already received their BS-11 and built the power cord for it.
Next step is to obviously try bs11_config on the serial port. Unfortunately
it doesn't build right now since I restructured some shared code. I'll work
on this tonight, should be fixed soon.
