If this is the first one, it won't work because this is the one OpenBSC
uses in the moment. If it is not loaded you should switch off and on
the BS-11 and check if it works afterwards. On my BS-11 there seems
to be a temperature related problem which sometimes requires quite a
few restarts to get the first TRX loaded. Additionally it could be
that an attached RS232 cable disturbs the startup process.
All of the above is not 100% sure because its difficult to reproduce,
but maybe it helps to load the first TRX (if the second TRX is not
loaded this should be no problem to get OpenBSC running).
Best regards,
Dieter

I don't see a problem with the traces, what you receive is the "Channel
Load" Indication from the BS-11, OpenBSC advices the BS-11 to send this
report.

A phone normally won't register to the test network as long as it reaches
the network stored on the SIM. You should see the network "001-01" if
you manually search for a network (it could also be "Test01" or similar),
but not the name 'OpenBSC-Test'.

Does bs11_config show that both TRX are loaded and that the BS-11 is in
Phase 3 ?

I am not familiar with the K1103. But if I don't misunderstand the traces,
everything should be fine. After the database has been sent to the BS-11,
you won't see any additional traffic on the E1 interface as long as there
is no phone registering to the BS-11 or you advice OpenBSC to send something
to the BS-11. You should now be able to see the network with a phone.
If you want to generate some E1 traffic without a phone, you can
press (or release) the instrusion switch, this should result in a report
sent from the BS-11. However I don't know how long the delay is between
actually changing the switch state and the resulting report.
Best regards,
Dieter

Hi!
As one of our following steps in OpenBSC will be work on GPRS support,
I would be interested in any GPRS related protocol traces of the A-bis
interface or the Um interface. Particularly interesting obviosuly is
the registration and session setup/teardown.
So if anyone has such traces for GPRS, please don't hesitate to contact me.
The traces will not be publicized but just used as a reference and example for
the further development of OpenBSC.
Thanks in advance!
(yes, I'm still on holidays, but rather wrote that email immediately than to
put it on a TODO list and loose time and/or forget about it)

Hi,
i am staring at the sources right now, figuring out how openbsc uses
which part of misdn to send/receive frames over the e1 link. I think
it's doing something like this (please correct me if i am wrong:
- use timeslot 1 in hdlc mode for the signalling link
- use misdns layer 2 to handle the TEI assignment, etc
What i am wondering about is:
- which ETSI standard describs layer 2 for GSM abis?
Thanks a lot in advance for your feedback. :-)
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

As far as I am aware, its LAPD as specified by ITU Q.920 and Q.921
(very similar if not equal to what is used in the "D"-channel of
ISDN).

one and have some questions. Please drop me a note, private
email is fine. Thank you very much.

Hello everybody,
finally i found some time to unwrap my precious BS-11 and started
playing. Unfortuantely i did not get to far...
I managed to build the power cable, install the antenna, hook up
the serial cable to a debian box and install the openbsc software.
I followed the steps in the wiki, e.g. run "bs11_config -p /dev/ttyS0"
and then turn on the BS-11. The green power LED on the BS-11 is solid
green. But i do not get any output from the bs11_config (e.g. no
booting messages, etc). :-(
Sometimes bs11_config segfaults when i switch on the power to the BS-11:
bs11_config -p /dev/ttyS0
bs11_config (C) 2009 by Harald Welte and Dieter Spaar
This is FREE SOFTWARE with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY
Invalid length in hdr: 0
Segmentation fault
The serial cable is connected to the serial port (1 of 4) which is
closest to the antenna connectors (like i have seen it on the photo).
What did i do wrong?
Thanks in advance for your help. :-)
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

I can't help with Linux (I use Windows), however I noticed
this in mISDN (hfc_multi.c) a while ago:
case 1: /* HFC-E1 OEM */
/* 2 red blinking: NT mode deactivate
* 2 red steady: TE mode deactivate
* left green: L1 active
* left red: frame sync, but no L1
* right green: L2 active
*/
So I would guess that there is a synchronisation problem which is not
related to the TEI setting. Maybe there is something wrong with the
wire connection. If you can see the signal sent from the E1 card at
the BS-11 and there is also a signal sent from the BS-11, than probably
the signal from the BS-11 is not received by the E1 card so it could
not synchronize on it.
Best regards,
Dieter
