GPRS branch status update
by Harald Welte 16 Nov '09

16 Nov '09

Hi! I've applied a series of fixes and extensions to the GPRS branch, and would like to invited interested nanoBTS users to give it another try. Right now, I am getting fully through GPRS routing area update and attach request, i.e. the phones can fully register to the GPRS network. Minimal PDP context activation and deactivation has been implemented, i.e. the phone will send a ACTIVATE PDP CONTEXT REQUEST, and the network will simply ACK it. However, since the network does not add any IPCP options, the phone will typically DEACTIVATE the context immediately after that. Have fun, -- - Harald Welte <laforge(a)gnumonks.org> http://laforge.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."

Unable to do menuconfig.
by ನಾಗೇಶ್ 13 Nov '09

13 Nov '09

Hi, I am following instruction from this page : http://openbsc.gnumonks.org/trac/wiki/Debian_Getting_Started When I do make menuconfig I get to the point until I have to select the mISDN modules. Firstly, I had to download the 2.6.31.6 kernel which is different as described in the page above. And, secondly, when I do select (based on the best 'guess'), there is no change at all ! I am forced to select 'Exit' - it does not proceed further. Is there anything you would like to suggest ? I am running minimal Ubuntu Linux (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD) as a guest OS using VirtualBox hosted on Ubuntu 9.10. N.

Testing an OpenBSC installation.

Hi, Your tutorial on getting started with Debian system is good. Once the installation is over, what tests would you suggest to know the system is ok ? Similarly, how would one ensure that the machine running OpenBSC is talking nice with the BTS ? N

RFC: Establishing logging standards
by Holger Freyther 11 Nov '09

11 Nov '09

Hey, I think in the next days I will go around the sourcecode and change a couple of logging messages. My two primary goals are increase the usefulness to figure out what was going wrong and the second to be able to put some of these into the syslog. Should we use DEBUG* to also log to syslog or introduce a new set of macros? Log Levels: I think Harald has expressed the wish to introduce log levels. Should we follow the log levels of syslog(3)? Messages: I would like to collect formats for various actions. Currently I'm thinking of the following but would like to have more input. subscriber: When talking about a subscriber use TMSI, IMSI and Extension. lchan: Include refcount, channel type, link_id, subscriber sccp: Talk about SCCP source local reference and pointer transaction: Print the transaction? gsm0408: Print the lchan which prints the subscriber? comments? holger

No access message.
by Nordin 09 Nov '09

09 Nov '09

Hello guys, If I run the latest version of openbsc and tried to register with my MS (Nokia 6310) to it, my phone finally says No Access. I see sending Channel Release several time in the debugging output. I also see increase/decrease usage several time. It has been a while not looking at the meaning of debug messages. I just use the standard config file for nanobts and changed a few parameters like unit_id, band, mcc and mnc, that's all. I noticed that I can't add an accept parameter, like before. Also in the config file I can't find anything like that, am I missing something? kind regards, nordin.

It clearly wasn't in this case, as the OpenBSC network never > offered GPRS support. Still, it tries it. That's why we're rejecting it. Not sure if I understand it in detail, from my understanding an RA Update is performed when the Routing Area has changed (or the periodic RA update timer has expired). So if the phone is already attached to a network, shouldn't we receive the RA update if it selects our new RA ? Best regards, Dieter -- Dieter Spaar, Germany spaar(a)mirider.augusta.de
