Hi all, After buying a super Sim Kit (16 in 1) from China, I tried the reader (green PCB inside a blue transparent plastic case with a blue LED) and SIM (identified as a fakesupersim) with pysim tool. However i am getting the following error: /pySim-prog.py -n 26C3 -c 49 -x 262 -y 42 -z 1234 -j 1 -t auto Insert card now (or CTRL-C to cancel) Autodetected card type fakemagicsim Generated card parameters : > Name : 26C3 > SMSP : e1ffffffffffffffffffffffff058100945555ffffffffffff000000 > ICCID : 8949262427518313026 > MCC/MNC : 262/42 > IMSI : 262422461512085 > Ki : 7b74741a1ee14337ec23f9ab92a13648 > OPC : ccd867d60797d8d45354a51b3ef568ff Programming ...

Also I have tried forcing different models of SIM, but nothing is working. Obviously I can remove this check from the script file (__init__.py in /pySim/transport), however somebody had a reason to put such condition there. I would like to ask if it is safe to remove that line of code and the purpose of that line of code. Thanks a lot and best regards Martin

Re: Help with sccp library

I means: is the interaction with mtp3 layer implemented (is sending sccp data by mtp3 implemented by the library?)? Also, what about the reception of data from mtp3 layer. is that implemented in the sccp lib. I am asking these questions because I see the code of mtp3 in the lib but no significant call is present in the sccp part of the lib. Thank you for your help.

dynamic traffic channels

by Neels Hofmeyr

A TS can be GSM_PCHAN_TCH_F_PDCH; those are the only ones for which we send a PDCH ACT message. We send a PDCH ACT message - during init (CHANNEL OML's state changed to enabled -> send PDCH ACT), - and upon channel release ack when pchan == GSM_PCHAN_TCH_F_PDCH. So the question is, when we receive a channel release ack, could that be the PDCH release and we switch PDCH right back on by accident? No, because we only receive a chan rel ack when the *TCH/F* is being released. That is because the PDCH release is initiated "internally" from the PDCH DEACT, and thus this condition in common/rsl.c rsl_tx_rf_rel_ack() catches on, which existed before dyn PDCH: if (lchan->rel_act_kind != LCHAN_REL_ACT_RSL) { LOGP(DRSL, LOGL_NOTICE, "%s not sending REL ACK\n", gsm_lchan_name(lchan)); return 0; } In rsl_rx_rf_chan_rel() the rel_act_kind is set to LCHAN_REL_ACT_RSL, but not in the rsl_rx_dyn_pdch(). This is analogous to the ip.access way -- the ip.access nanobts replies to a PDCH DEACT with a PDCH DEACT ACK and doesn't send a separate channel release ack. Maybe we could set rel_act_kind to some new LCHAN_REL_ACT_IPAC_DYN_PDCH for clarity? (But we shouldn't actually send a release ack, to stay compatible.) Even though it works as-is, we should indeed add another flag check: - We do check the flags that no ACT/DEACT is already pending; - And we do send a PDCH DEACT only if ts->flags & TS_F_PDCH_ACTIVE; - But we would send a PDCH ACT despite ts->flags & TS_F_PDCH_ACTIVE. This should never happen, but it would make sense to ensure that. ~Neels

Problem while running NIB on Open Cellular Base sation

by Brackley Casinga

Hi, My name is Brackley Cassinga Form DRC, we run a community network called pamoja net where we offer gsm services using osmocom open source software and OC Base station. Recently I have tried to install another base station as the same installed but I could not find any resource guiding through all the steps to take to run NIB on a base station. I'm currently running Ubuntu and I will appreciate if you could guide me on the installation of BSC,hlr,MSC , in order to run a basic gsm network. Thank you.

Osmocom Village at CCC Camp 2019

by Harald Welte

Dear all, I've been asked by a number of pepole about a possible Osmocom village at the CCC Camp 2019. I personally didn't really have any plans, but given related e-mails and "encouragement" I went ahead and registered an "Osmocom Village", see https://signup.c3assemblies.de/assembly/3b8f7aa2-95d5-4c44-aadc-de8f2680e9c3 I also created a wiki page (as nobody else did, despite earlier discussion on IRC, SCNR) for coordinating related efforts at https://osmocom.org/projects/osmo-dev-con/wiki/CCC_Camp_2019 One of the bigger questions is about having a tent as well as some tables/benches to sit on and work. The Camp orga team nas been negotiating rates with a tent rental company, but to be honest I'm rather surprised by the extremely steep pricing. The smallest possible tent (6m x 3m) would cost 825 EUR. I'm not sure we want to raise that amount of money? Even if we'd be 10 people sharing it, its still 82.50 EUR per person. And that excludes any tables/chairs. I'm attaching the relevant parts of a mail from the assemblies orga team FYI. Please note there also is some kind of fragmentation / overlap with the team planning to run the GSM/3G networks at the camp, see Lynxis' related post at https://lists.osmocom.org/mailman/private/osmocom-event-orga/2019-June/0003… It's questionable whether it makes sense to have tow distinct 'villages', but given that e.g. I don't know anyone of that singularity city, I'm not sure if we'd either be welcome there, nor whether we'd want to associate us with them? Also, while the GSM network operation for sure has good reasons to mingle with the POC and whatever facilities they have, I'm not sure if the wider Osmocom community attendees unrelated to the GSM network operation wouldn't just be a disturbance/nuisance. In the end, to be honest, I personally do not feel I have the time and mental capacity to take on any additional tasks in terms of organizing anything. I just created the entry in c3assemblies as I was asked to, and I similarly created the related mailing list and wiki page. So please, anyone interested in making an Osmocom village happen one way or another, step up [and continue this discussion on the camp2019-village(a)lists.osmocom.org mailing list, without crossposting everywhere else :) Regards, Harald -- - Harald Welte <laforge(a)gnumonks.org> http://laforge.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."

OpenBSC on 3rd party MSC

by wyao＠corrections.com

Hello All, I am working on get OpenBSC connected to a 3rd party MSC, I read from the Osmo document that I can use the bsc only mode and the osm-bsc instead of the osmo-nitb. Currently I had osmo-trx-uhd, osmo-bts-trx, osmo-bsc, and osmo-stp configured and and running, but I see a lot of below error logs in the osmo-stp console: ``````````````````````````` DLSS7 <000c> osmo_ss7.c:1468 asp-asp-dyn-0: xua_srv_conn_cb(): sctp_recvmsg() returned 56 (flags=0x80) DLM3UA <000f> m3ua.c:722 asp-asp-dyn-0: Received M3UA Message (XFER:DATA) DLM3UA <000f> m3ua.c:541 asp-asp-dyn-0: m3ua_rx_xfer DLM3UA <000f> m3ua.c:580 asp-asp-dyn-0: m3ua_rx_xfer(): M3UA data header: opc=337=0.42.1 dpc=185=0.23.1 DLSS7 <000c> osmo_ss7_hmrt.c:278 m3ua_hmdc_rx_from_l2(): dpc=185=0.23.1 not local, message is for routing DLSS7 <000c> osmo_ss7_hmrt.c:258 MTP-TRANSFER.req for DPC 185: no route! ```````````````````````````` On the BSC console, I am seeing a lot of: ``````````````````````````````` <0007> a_reset.c:106 A-RESET(msc-0)[0xb76ce0]{DISC}: (re)sending BSSMAP RESET message... <0007> osmo_bsc_sigtran.c:93 Sending RESET to MSC: RI=SSN_PC,PC=0.23.1,SSN=BSSAP ``````````````````````````````` Can anyone identify what is the issue here?

Enable gsmtap logging for TTCN3 testsuites?

by Oliver Smith

Dear ML, I'm wondering why we do not have gsmtap logging enabled for TTCN3 testsuites, and if there are any reasons against doing that. Personally I find it very useful to have gsmtap logs in pcap files, because then then there is no need to manually match the timestamps of the log file and interesting parts of the pcap dump. Especially in the TTCN3 testsuites, where we generate a separate pcap file for each test, but have one big log file of the SUT (e.g. osmo-hlr) for the entire testsuite run. Thoughts?

OpenBSC installed but missing ipaccess and abisip-find

by ty

Hello. I just followed the step by step procedure outlined in the wiki to compile OpenBSC on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS for the ip.access nanoBTS. My problem is that the folder ipaccess which has the ipaccess.config is missing and so is the abisip-find file. Any leads on why this is happening? I had seen somewhere that the above can be found in the osmocom-ipaccess-utils from the repo but that too is unavailable. Many thanks -tyrus

URGENT: OsmoMSC is broken by the recent changes in libosmocore

Hi Harald! Unfortunately, your change [1] breaks some osmo-* projects.

The registration happens even before the main() is called, since we use '__attribute__((constructor))', and logging is not yet initialized at that time. We need to fix the FSM definition, but right now I think we have no other way than reverting [1]. With best regards, Vadim Yanitskiy.
