Hi, i have problems bringing up the second TRX. I used the following procedure: ./bs11_config -p /dev/ttyUSB0 disconnect ./bs11_config -p /dev/ttyUSB0 create-trx1 After reboot the query tells me: ./bs11_config -p /dev/ttyUSB0 query LMT LOGON: ACK PHASE: 3 Normal MBCCU0: Load MBCCU1: Load Abis-link: Restoring ... BS11 Power Amplifier 0 ATTRIBUTES: TRX Power: 30mW (GSM) LMT LOGOFF: ACK Now i wondered where is the trx1, did anyone has a similar problem? I have the BS-11 ESN PCB Serial Number: 001127 which should have two TRX.

USSD traces from live networks needed
by Alexander Chemeris 27 Jan '10

27 Jan '10

Hi all, I'm cross-posting this to both OpenBTS and OpenBSC mailing lists in a hope to get wider audience. Sorry if you get this message twice. Ivan and I are working on USSD support for OpenBTS now. We've got all our test phones working except old Siemens A52 (newer A65 is ok). When we request more information from the phone in order to create menu-like experience, this phone deny processing any further USSD with "NOT EXECUTED" error, while still keeping L3 channel open. This looks quite much like a bug in the phone, but also seems we have a problem in our code too - I tested it with my working SIM card and my normal operator USSD menu and it works. So I kindly ask everyone who have Nokia 3310 with MBUS cable or any other GSM sniffer and have access to live network with working USSD to help us with gathering some real-network data. Please: 1) Call some simple USSD request, which just return a single piece of data. Like "Show my balance" 2) Call some menu-like USSD request and go through several levels of it. On our network we have a kind of "Self-care service" through USSD which works that way. 3) If you know how to summon network-originated USSD request or notification - we will appreciate if you include this too. I have never seen this on my home network, though. 4) Send me your trace. Thanks! -- Regards, Alexander Chemeris.

Patch/Driver for Sangoma E1 interface ?
by Carcellelist 27 Jan '10

27 Jan '10

Hi there, Has anyone been working on using OpenBSC with a Sangoma E1 card connected to the BTS ? I guess they would be some patches to add to the generic driver to have it fully working and recognized within the OpenBSC framework ? The last thread I saw related to Sangoma was from Oystein : http://lists.gnumonks.org/pipermail/openbsc/2009-August/000821.html Cheers, Xavier.

maybe there is an select problem
by Andreas.Eversberg 23 Jan '10

23 Jan '10

hi, while porting the select.c to LCR, i found the problem: the unix select function returns a set of file descriptors to be handled. the result-loop (the loop after the select()) is called again, if more than one descriptor is removed by the callback funtion. this may lead to a another call to the callback function, because the bits of the FD_SETs do not change and still set. i think we must clear these bits, if they are handled, so the handler will not be called twice in case of a "restart" of that loop. regards, andreas

Re: phone without encryption

I did a quick check, at least Vodafone and T-Mobile here in Germany reject the Location Update Request with "Network Failure" (0x11) if they get a classmark without any encryption available. The registration works with the same phone if the classmark indicates that encryption support is available. The test was done with a phone where I can modify the classmark data.

parsing config file problem
by Nordin CrazyHacker 13 Jan '10

13 Jan '10

Hello list, I have a nanobts1800 and installed openbsc on Debian yesterday (from git). After building the project and configured the bts on the network, I executed bsc_hack with -c openbsc.cfg.nanobts. But it failed to execute with the following error: <0005> bsc_init.c:860 Failed to parse the config file: 'openbsc.cfg.nanobts' I haven't modified the config file, I haven't modified anything at all in openbsc. Any idea? Thanks.

Commit [39315c4] breaks BTS configuration
by Daniel Willmann 12 Jan '10

12 Jan '10

Hello, the commit "[OML] parse attributes depending on BTS type" seems to break bsc_hack completely since it's no longer possible to add a new BTS. This happens because the VTY config sytem first tries to allocate a BTS of type UNKNOWN and later changes that type when the type statement is encountered. I have commited a patch in daniel/fixes that registers a BTS of type unknown so the code should work as before (tested with a BS11). Maybe it is smarter to change the way the gsm_bts_alloc function works instead (so you don't need to provide a type there), I'm not sure about that. Regards, Daniel Willmann

bs11_config showing less info
by Daniel Willmann 11 Jan '10

11 Jan '10

Hello, I've noticed that recent versions of bs11_config don't show all the infos they used to. commit eb429b7b44f1c39548a1995cb93484b9cbe2996e Author: Sylvain Munaut <tnt(a)246tNt.com> Date: Mon Oct 26 20:19:59 2009 +0100 [TLV] Split the parser into 'parse loop' and 'parse single value' seems to be the problem. If I revert it bs11_config query shows more information again. I've looked at the patch, but so far couldn't find out what it does differently. I'll keep looking, but maybe someone else has an idea. Regards, Daniel Willmann
