Hi all,
Just wanted to share an issue and a quick workaround I found for it in case
anyone else has the same problem. I believe a cmd2 update is causing
pySim-shell to fail. After installing it on a fresh install of Ubuntu
Server 20.04 and getting the following error when I run "python3
pySim-shell -p0":
>Using PC/SC reader interface
>Autodetected card type: sysmoUSIM-SJS1
>AIDs on card:
> USIM: a0000000871002ffffffff8907090000
>Traceback (most recent call last):
> File "pySim-shell.py", line 512, in <module>
> app = PysimApp(card, rs, opts.script)
> File "pySim-shell.py", line 59, in __init__
> super().__init__(persistent_history_file='~/.pysim_shell_history',
allow_cli_args=False, use_ipython=True, auto_load_commands=False,
command_sets=basic_commands, >startup_script=script)
>TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'use_ipython'
If you run into this you can fix it by uninstalling cmd2 and reinstalling
cmd2 with "pip3 install cmd2==1.5".
Best,
Bryan
Hi,
I had a problem placing MO GSM calls from a Siemens S11E: The calls
were dropped immediately; Osmo-MSC reports "Cannot compose Channel
Type from bearer capabilities"
After investigating the SETUP request from the S11E, the phone does
not use octet 3a (no extension bit set in IE 3). Wireshark decodes the
radio channel requirement as "Full rate support only MS/fullrate
speech version 1 supported", so I added a condition to the gsm48_ie.c
function of libosmocore to include at least GSM FR in the list of
available speech_ver in case octet 3 has no extension.
Attached to this message are the Abis-IP PCAP traces of MO calls, and
the patch for gsm48_ie.c.

Lennart
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. Regards

Hello. I am working on setting up an osmoTRX based base station. Where I
am in the US, between 902 and 928 MHz is part of the ISM spectrum, and
unregulated. Therefore, I would like to configure my base station to use
both an uplink and down link frequency within this range. However, none
of the pre-existing ARFCN options have both the uplink and downlink
frequencies within this band. Is it possible to manually shift the
frequency used by the base station, or manually select the up/down
frequencies so that both remain within this range?
Thank you for your help,
Enzo Damato

Hi Keith,
> Is it an artwork by any chance?
We are saving a Nokia UltraSite and building an as fully functional
GSM network as much as it is possible.
We have a bit of a LAPD issue on the multi-TRX side of things as the
current RSL bootstrap code is really only practical for the InSite
units, so that needs some work, but at least the OM data we send is
confirmed to be correct, and I can make a single TRX work. One other
thing would be nice to have is Cell Broadcast, that part also does not
work yet, but lets keep that issue separated.
Your second link requires a gitlab login. Is there a more accessible
way to get that patch? :-)
Thanks!

Dear List,
In the good old NITB days, it was possible to set up an "open" network
where a foreign IMSI was able to register with the network, and at the
first attempt the subscriber received sort of a "welcome" SMS with its
random generated MSISDN. I found the on-demand option in the HLR, but
I am not sure if the welcome SMS part is even possible since the
network elements are now separated, no sign of it in any of the
manuals though.
I am working on a museum setup where there will be some pre-programmed
SIMs in handsets, but it would be nice if the visitors themselves can
use their own phone to connect and use the network. Worst case they
can use the USSD command to get their MSISDN, but a welcome SMS would
be nice to have.

Hi Keith,
My question was targeting the Osmocom stack and not the (external)
PBX. I already found some AMR patches for Asterisk (it seems it is
still not part of mainline), will try to do that.
The second half of my question was somewhat vaguely tries to ask if it
is possible to do AMR when the call is MO-MT directly, or maybe the
MGW can do transcoding, so in a nutshell: maybe there is a solution to
do GSM FR when the call is outbound from the mobile network and AMR
when it is mobile to mobile. Or the transcoding path is also an
option. Point is: about these capabilities there is very little
information available about what is supported and what is not within
the Osmocom domain.

Hello fellow developers,
I am getting ready to implement my own SMSC, connecting to Osmocom CN
via GSUP (see OS#6135), and I have a question about SMSC address
terminology.
In traditional commercial GSM networks, the SMSC address visible to
the user (prepended to the TPDU for MT SMs, stored in EF_SMSP record
on the SIM for MO SMs) looks like a phone number in full international
format, with TON=1 and NPI=1. For example, T-Mobile's SMSC address is
+12063130004 (to an uninitiated eye it looks exactly like a regular
phone number in Seattle, WA), while the SMSC of Mexican Telcel is
+5294100001410 - one digit longer than regular phone numbers in Mexico,
and a little irregular in structure.
What is the correct term for these SC-address phone-number-thingies?
Are they Global Titles - or is GT something different?
If I were to make up fake global-looking SMSC addresses of this form,
e.g., something like +1xxx55501xx for NANP territory, would it be
correct to call such SC-address a fake Global Title?
Just wondering...

Dear list,
I managed to set up my E1 based Nokia BTS, the complete Osmo-CNI
stack, SIP-connector and Asterisk. MO/MT calls do work as well as
external SIP calls to and from mobile as well. But no matter what I do
only plain FullRate calls are possible.
Under osmo-bsc.conf code support is set like this (the BTS HW do
support all of these codecs):
codec-support fr efr amr
but once I also add "codec-list fr3 fr2 fr1" to the MSC section of the
osmo-bsc.conf, the calls wont establish anymore.
I watched Neel's OsmoDevCall presentation on this topic, but it is not
very clear what codecs are supported when osmo-sip-connector and an
external PBX is used?

Csaba
