It works

hi, finally the layer 4 interface of openbsc is done. also LCR (linux-call-router) talks to libbsc. this turns both into a complete network. libgsm (compiled to LCR) provides audio transcoding. even asterisk can use it via "chan_lcr" driver. today i got my first call to a friend from mobile via fixed network. (because harald did not answer on the first try, he could not receive the previledge of the first call.) before i begin providing patches and documentation, i will make some stability tests. have a nice weekend.. jolly

Network initialization
by Bjoern Heller 05 May '09

Hello, I have an Issue related to my Debian OpenBSC. Every time I fire up openbsc everything goes well like the btse alignement/db alignement on lmt and there are no errors on lmt. Only openBSC tells me after the initial state were the net should be up, that the oc or some module(ill add more details later on today) is "in test". So this looks like the issue to me why the net wont come up. But sometimes it works (sometimes it helps to restart the bts but it wont help everytime). Im a bit curious why the In test is appearing while lmt (the gui app) tells me that everything is as it should be... As far as I know this normally tells me that the object is in Test mode and is checked because requested on lmt. May this also be a timing issue on the abis link? Im writing from iPhone in bed so enough for now. I would be glad if someone could help/ has an idea. By the way Ill be at SIGINT09 in Cologne helping out at the GSM Workshop. Who will be there too? Best Regards Björn Heller

Re: BS-11 PLL clock source / calibration

The "Set Value" is the configuration value from the factory. The "Work Value" is not 100% clear yet but most certainly it is the value the PLL is actually using. In "Locked" mode the PLL follows the E1 clock and the "Work Value" can change quite a lot. Switching to "Standalone" mode seems to freeze the current "Work Value". The question now is if the PLL still used this "Work Value" in "Standalone" mode. If yes and the "Work Value" is off by a large amount the clock is not accurate (although its most certainly stable) and you still won't the test network and the other networks at once. If the "Work Value" of your BS-11 is off by a large amount from the "Set Value" you can try to switch to "Locked" mode and watch if the "Work Value" follows the E1 clock. If its close to the "Set Value", switch back to "Standalone" mode. I have not tested this and I don't know a better way yet (I don't think the "Work Value" can be set from the outside) but you can give it a try.

I did a quick test with this setting and it seems to work fine with the BS-11 (so we should not believe the documentation ;-). Here is the LMT dump for the PLL Mode, it can be changed during normal operation: ; Locked Tx D0A5070000FC0102 Rx D1A5070000FC0102 ; Standalone Tx D0A5070000FC0103 Rx D1A5070000FC0103 A little bit strange is the behaviour of NM_ATT_BS11_CCLK_ACCURACY, if the PLL Mode is set to "Standalone", it changes to "high accuracy", however if you restart the BS-11, this attribute stays at "medium accuracy". Maybe NM_ATT_BS11_CCLK_ACCURACY has no meaning if the PLL Mode is set to "Standalone". Best regards, Dieter -- Dieter Spaar, Germany spaar(a)mirider.augusta.de

If the firmware for the first TRX is not loaded, the Abis communication will still work because the microcontroller which takes care about the commnunication is working. The error messages result from the not working TRX (I guess it would work if TRX1 instead of TRX0 is used, however I have not tried it yet). > And this is the condition until I reboot the BTS. > Maybe its a software issue? I don't think so because the communication processor loads the same firmware in both TRX. This is done in parallel. In your trace there is the same behavior I experience here, loading the firmware for TRX0 ad TRX1 starts, however loading TRX0 stops immediately. Of course I can only speak for my BS-11, but here it is most certainly a hardware issue (at one time I could even see an error message that the first power supply unit did not start).

AW: [patch] support for recent Single E1 PCI ISDN cards tolinux-2.6.27.4

I think this should be forwarded to the mISDN folks for mainline inclusion. Andreas Eversberg (reading this list) is heavily involved with them, maybe he can take care of that. > I'm curious if any of you are also using such cards and how they get > them to work.

[patch] support for recent Single E1 PCI ISDN cards to linux-2.6.27.4
by Nico 27 Apr '09

27 Apr '09

Hi, Here's a patch I've been using to get a SingleE1 PCI ISDN card (recently bought from Junghanns.NET) to work with the hfcmulti.ko driver. I'm not sure the mapping between the PCI subdevice id and the driver data is right, but at least the card can "talk" to the BS-11 now. I'm curious if any of you are also using such cards and how they get them to work. Best regards, -- Nico

Don't ask me about Linux details, I am coming from Windows ;-) Maybe it is related to mISDN, I think there is also a special tunnel for capturing the traces in Wireshark. The rest (Telnet interface) should be standard socket operations. Maybe someone else can give a better explanation, the above is just my understanding.
