Hello everyone,
I've just finnished writing together a small web interface for the OpenBSC
HLR. It allows you to modify various parameters in the database and also
provides a set of functions to modify the HLR or sending SMSes in your own
scripts.
The project is still very alpha but it seems to work reasonably good. Feel
free to give any feedback!
Screenshots and source code is available on my website:

I have some questions:
1) When I start bsc_hack bsc_init.c first establishes OML link and
initializes the bts then it establishes RSL link and bts starts
broadcasting. However, it takes so much time to start the bts. Instead of
this I want to do the following: it establishes OML link at the beginning
and only once, then when i want to start broadcasting it establishes just
the RSL link and bts will start faster since i don't have to wait for OML
link. What should be done for this?
2) If i send one or two word messages from telnet interface it is okay. But
if i send a longer message the phone could't receive the end of the message
correctly(last words may be incomplete). Did any one encounter with this
problem? What is wrong with me?
3) Could I send SMS in which extension of the sender is text not integer.
For example, i want to send an information SMS that this is a test network.
For this purpose i want to send an SMS from 'OpenBSC'. I set the extension
of the first subscriber in database as text and tried to send the SMS but
SMS wasn't delivered. What should i do?
4) Can i add SMS externally to SMS table of database?
Thanks.

Hi all,
I have upated the wiki page at
http://openbsc.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/OsmoUserGroup/Berlin to indicate
the meeting dates for the next couple of months. So now it is clear
that even without any explicit separate announcement, we will be meeting
at the indicated date:
June 13, 2012
June 27, 2012
July 11, 2012
July 25, 2012
August 8, 2012
August 22, 2012
It had been requested to start a bit later (8pm instead of 7pm), and
from the next meeting onwards we will follow that request.
Looking forward to meeting you!

Hey folks,
I am new with OpenBSC and want to build OpenBSC with several BTS from
different types.
At first what I need: I want to test OpenBSC without a BTS just to see if
the installation worked successfully. Also I need to know what I have to do
if I want to use a BTS which isn't configured yet.
What we want to do in the end is to test the BTS with a selfmade programm.
For this we need an interface between the hardware BTS and the pc.
What I have:
Ubuntu 11.10
Kernel 3.0.22
several BTS (Siemens BS60/BS240, Nokia Citytalk, Alcatel G9100 etc...)
HFC-E1 card from Cologne Chip
OpenBSC
Asterisk 1.8.4.4 + Web-GUI (Asterisk NOW 2.0)
Dahdi 2.4.1
Libpri 1.4
mISDN v2.x
mISDNuser 2.0.11
LCR 1.7
Twinkle, Wireshark etc.
Why mISDN + Dahdi:
First I tried to use mISDn + mISDNuser + LCR for a connection between
OpenBSC and Asterisk. mISDN was integrated in the Kernel so I thought it's
the best idea to use it. I installed mISDNuser and LCR but there are
several problems. For further informations you can have a look here:
http://www.ip-phone-forum.de/showthread.php?t=247932
Because of the problems mit LCR/chan_LCR and Asterisk I decided to use
Dahdi because it's also installed since I installed Asterisk. Asterisks
works fine with the softphones which I created with Twinkle and also the
Asterisk GUI works without problems.
To use Dahdi:
modprobe -r hfcmulti
modprobe -r mISDN_core
/etc/init.d/dahdi restart
/etc/dahdi/system.conf:
dchan=1
bchan=2-30
openbsc.cfg:
e1_input
e1_line 0 driver dahdi
To start OpenBSC:
cd /etc/openbsc/src/osmo-nitb
./osmo-nitb
Error:
<0005> bsc_init.c:493 Failed to parse the config file: 'openbsc.cfg'
So now I'm not sure what to do because I'm not sure what exactly is wrong
and if it could work without a BTS. There are enough informations if I want
to test a BS11 or a nanoBTS but I'm a little bit lost how to work with
another BTS.
In the next day I will get the traces from the several BTS to build an
interface between BTS and OpenBSC so I can build the openbsc.cfg-file. But
it would be great if it is possible to test OpenBSC before I get the
traces.
To get a connection between OpenBSC and Astrisk with Dahdi is a problem
which I should solve by myself. There should be enough information in the
internet.
if you have questions or need more informations just write an e-mail.
Best regards and thanks in advance. It would be great if someone could help
me or give me some advice what I could do.

Hi list!
I have a installation problem with OpenBSC+LCR. I tried to install it following tutorial in the wiki and not working. I have some problem and I probe to install in various unix version Ubuntu based but I can't.
I believe that codes are changing and tutorial doesn't work. Someone have installed OpenBSC+LCR recently? Pleased tell me how!
In addiction, I need to know if there are documentation about the codes to complain how it work to study the program and understand it. Are there documentation available?
Thank you!
Hi!
I'm trying to install OpenBSC+LCR. I'm following the next tutorial: http://openbsc.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/OpenBSC_LCR
I have installed libosmocore and openbsc but I can't install lcr. I tried to apply patch from tutorial but it doesn't works, maybe version is so old because gsm_bs.cpp is not the same. When run configure terminal shows:
configure: error: in '/home/rivas/OpenBSC/lcr'
configure: error: --with-asterisk was given, but test for header-file asterisk/compiler.h failed
I have new Ubuntu 12.04 and I have install asterisk from apt-get repository.
Someone can help me? Also I need to know if there is a tutorial recently actualized.
Best regards,
Arturo Rivas.
Hello,
while there there is a comandline interface for openbsc to configure the
BSC software, until now there has been nothing comparable as user
interface for the osmocom/Erlang code.
This has changed. Here is a first version of an Erlang written
command-line interface:
https://github.com/josemic/Erlang-command-line-interface
Be aware that there is currently only dummy data presented. It has not
yet been integrated with the osmocom/Erlang code.
Please test and provide feedback.
For installation instructions please see github wiki pages.
Br,
Michael

Hi all,
Perhaps i am completely mistaken..
If so, please make it a "learning-moment" for me ;-)
Is it possible to crate your own SIM's ?
As far as i can see, these are just small smartcards.
And as such, thse can be filled with the tools that come along with
OpenSC.
I presume the SIM's contain a number of EF's and DF's
One set that thighs a SIM to a specific operator (making it possible to
SIM-lock a handy)
And another set of EF's that identifies a specific user.
Within the DB of the operator, the relation between the SIM-identifier
and the specific user (with his 06-number and other info) is made.
(I know that the sim itself is not unique, because a college had a
malfuntioning SIM, and it was replaced by another one, with the same
content)
Reason why i want to fill my own sims is this;
For one of our projects we are using certificates on a smartcard.
Currently full-sized, but we think of putting it on a sim-sized card.
And use it in a dongle along with 2Gb (bootable) flash storage.
So my questions are:
1) can you burn your own sim's
2) would there be any objections to have, beside de GSM-info, also a
certificate
3) could you "clone" an existing SIM?
With regard to the last one: If i buy a couple of prepaid-sims from a
operator, would it be possible to extract that info, and put it along
with my own certificates on a sim of my own?
Obviously, it is no use to contact the help desks of kpn, tele2, or
vodafone at this moment.
But _if_ their are no technical limitations i could do a test with some
of our own BTS'es.
And if that pilot works, we have a business case for any interested
operator.

Hi, all.
I am beginner to GSM setup.I have gone through osmocom sit and collect the
material to build the network.But my query is how i should sync the
gnuradio which drives USRP with openBTS or openBSC..
