nano3g 237A <apologies if this is a repost>

Not sure if this is a repost, i just joined the list and i don't think i had confirmed my account when i sent it (the confirmation was in my spam). Anyways, not trying to be a bad list member. I just picked up this IPAccess model which supports band 2/5 and has the same housing as the other units on the accelerate3g5 project docs. I've been pouring over docs and trying a lot of network configurations in my home lab. I have the login information for the factory reset and can access the web gui on port 8089 during the reset process, but ssh and telnet DMI seem to be disabled. I've been fuzzing ports and i've tried static as well as DHCP for IP addresses. My thought was that if i point the nano3G to the IP of my osmo-hNodeB machine that it would at least stimulate the device and maybe i'd see some log messages in the HNodeB gateway, but so far i haven't seen anything in the logs. i've also tried abisip-find and that doesn't find anything. Wireshark shows basic 'who has' Layer 2 messages and also DHCP requests sent to 0.0.0.0, both from the nano3g. The nano3g does get an ip from my lab router and i can ping it. The LAN behind that router can also access the 0.ipaccess ntp server, but again no telnet DMI or ssh so i'm unsure where to go from here. Layer 1 seems to show nothing on the uarfcn in the web gui, so it seems that its not crossing all the right bridges. I will admit, i haven't run any other osmo network components for the network, but as far as i was reading the home nodeb gateway and ntp should be the only things necessary to at least start the process. Any insight on what to try next would be very helpful. Does anyone have experience with this model? thanks

Subscriber Auto Provision in new split stack OSMO-NITB version
by Justin 20 Oct '21

20 Oct '21

Hi Osmocom, May I ask if we have similar feature of auto provisioning of subscribers who are trying to camp to the network similar to auth-policy accept-all in osmo-nitb? Is the new version supports also the auto provisioning of subscribers? Regards, Justin Mark Repollo

Amplifier Settings
by Henry Caga 18 Oct '21

18 Oct '21

Hello, im Using a default configuration for my osmo-bsc setup using B210. I managed to get a working amplifier with specifications below. My question is, what should be the best config that i should use in order to maximize tge power and range of my amplifier? What are the best configs for osmo-trx, osmo-bts, and other applications related to osmo-bsc. Proper settings such as osmotrx tx-attenuation, nominal power, ms max power and other related configurations that are valid or matched for my amplifier. Listed below is my amplifier's specification. AMPLIFIER SPECS: band: uplink 885-915MHz / downlink 930-960MHz Max output power: downlink 47±1dBm Max allow input power: uplink -10dBm / downlink +10dBm gain: Uplink 25±2dB Downlink 28 to 53±1dB ALC: Uplink ≥10dB Downlink ≥10dB SWR: Uplink ≤1.5 Downlink ≤1.5 Passband ripple: Uplink ≤2dB Downlink ≤2dB Noise floor: uplink ≤2dB third order intermodulation: Uplink ≤-55dBc@-8dBm/ch/2ch Downlink ≤-36dBc@2ch Voltage: 28V Currency: ≤4.5A Thanks a lot!

Question about Virtual-Um implementation
by Ivan Babanov 08 Oct '21

08 Oct '21

Hello all, We trying to bring up set of BTS with virtual Um with different configurations: 1 BTS -> 1 TRX -> 1 MS works fine as expected 1 BTS -> 1 TRX -> 2 MS works fine as well But I see some unpredictable behaviour when I have 1 BTS -> 2 TRX(872,873) -> 1 MS MS can attach on one ARFCN (872) but when it tries to attach on 873 looks like PRACH does not reach BTS and I do not see Channel Request on BSC side. So, the question is it workable configuration: Several TRX to 1 MS with different power level to allow MS to choose a best cell to attach? I have just one idea: to have several virtphy instances for MS connected to different UDP ports. Thank you Vania

LCLS
by Keith 06 Oct '21

06 Oct '21

Hi All, I was again looking at advancing with LCLS support. I've made a couple of proposals, which at least get it to the stage where the global call reference it consistent from the A leg to B leg of a call, with both the internal mncc and external, and therefore osmo-bsc can make use of either the lcls-mode (mgw|bts)-loop. The implementation in the osmo-sip-connector doing nothing more than passing the GCR from leg to leg, but it's more complicated than this. We need to allow the PBX to have the audio streams until the PBX itself decides to remove itself from the stream. (as it is you won't even hear ringback) I know all this is spec-ed somewhere in LCLS, I'm just not sure where/how this SIP re-INVITE processing should be implemented, in the sip conn, or the MSC - which I guess, takes us back again to neels' long standing proposals for parsing SDP inside the MSC. Maybe it' s time to get that merged. Anyway.. I have some time scheduled to try to move this forward towards a definitive solution, just writing here in case anyone else can help. Thanks. k/
