Hey Guys,
thanks a lot for your answers.
@Peter: I want to test OpenBSC without BTS because the installation has to be ready in the end of the week and in the moment there is no BTS which I can test if it works. In the end I want to connect OpenBSC with several BTS. Before OpenBSC runs with another BTS than those which are supported yet I have to build an openbsc.cfg-file. That's is what I think I should do. I don't know if there are other configurations to do. There is no way to use OpenBSC which one of the BTS which are supported now. It has to work which one other BTS.
@Michael: I installed telnet and followed your steps but I get following message:
/etc/openbsc/doc/examples# telnet localhost 4242 Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
As I did:
telnet localhost
I got:

I unloaded hfcmulti, mISDN_dsp, mISDN_core, started dahdi, but if I want to start OpenBSC I get:
/etc/openbsc/src/osmo-nitb# ./osmo-nitb -c openbsc.cfg <0005> bsc_init.c:512 Error enabling E1 input driver
Perhaps I did something wrong as I want to load the driver, because I have an HFC-E1 card but dmesg shows: dmesg
dahdi: Telephony Interface Registered on major 196 dahdi: Version: 2.4.1 *vzaphfc: HFC-S PCI A ISDN (V1.42) loading*
Wish you a nice day.

Hi Ellen,
here is how I start OpenBSC without any BTS.
cd openbsc
src/osmo-nitb -c doc/examples/osmo-nitb/**nanobts/openbsc.cfg -C
and make sure the current directory is not write protected.
Then I start the telnet terminal with: telnet localhost 4242
Hope this helps.
Br, Michael PS: Additional info: osmo-nitb --help http://openbsc.osmocom.org/**trac/wiki/osmo-nitbhttp://openbsc.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/osmo-nitb

Hey folks,
I am new with OpenBSC and want to build OpenBSC with several BTS from different types.
At first what I need: I want to test OpenBSC without a BTS just to see if the installation worked successfully. Also I need to know what I have to do if I want to use a BTS which isn't configured yet.
What we want to do in the end is to test the BTS with a selfmade programm. For this we need an interface between the hardware BTS and the pc.
What I have: Ubuntu 11.10 Kernel 3.0.22 several BTS (Siemens BS60/BS240, Nokia Citytalk, Alcatel G9100 etc...) HFC-E1 card from Cologne Chip OpenBSC Asterisk 1.8.4.4 + Web-GUI (Asterisk NOW 2.0) Dahdi 2.4.1 Libpri 1.4 mISDN v2.x mISDNuser 2.0.11 LCR 1.7 Twinkle, Wireshark etc.
Why mISDN + Dahdi: First I tried to use mISDn + mISDNuser + LCR for a connection between OpenBSC and Asterisk. mISDN was integrated in the Kernel so I thought it's the best idea to use it. I installed mISDNuser and LCR but there are several problems. For further informations you can have a look here: http://www.ip-phone-forum.de/**showthread.php?t=247932http://www.ip-phone-forum.de/showthread.php?t=247932
Because of the problems mit LCR/chan_LCR and Asterisk I decided to use Dahdi because it's also installed since I installed Asterisk. Asterisks works fine with the softphones which I created with Twinkle and also the Asterisk GUI works without problems.
To use Dahdi: modprobe -r hfcmulti modprobe -r mISDN_core /etc/init.d/dahdi restart
/etc/dahdi/system.conf: dchan=1 bchan=2-30
openbsc.cfg: e1_input e1_line 0 driver dahdi
To start OpenBSC: cd /etc/openbsc/src/osmo-nitb ./osmo-nitb Error: <0005> bsc_init.c:493 Failed to parse the config file: 'openbsc.cfg'
So now I'm not sure what to do because I'm not sure what exactly is wrong and if it could work without a BTS. There are enough informations if I want to test a BS11 or a nanoBTS but I'm a little bit lost how to work with another BTS.
In the next day I will get the traces from the several BTS to build an interface between BTS and OpenBSC so I can build the openbsc.cfg-file. But it would be great if it is possible to test OpenBSC before I get the traces.
To get a connection between OpenBSC and Astrisk with Dahdi is a problem which I should solve by myself. There should be enough information in the internet.
if you have questions or need more informations just write an e-mail.
Best regards and thanks in advance. It would be great if someone could help me or give me some advice what I could do.
Ellen
