A long time passed since I worked with the Nokia Site family and OpenBSC. I managed to save an UltraSite cabinet from scrap, so I try to revive it for a museum.
excellent project!
My first question is: should Osmo-BSC be able to bootstrap the BTS fully (all the way to "on air" mode) if it is not (yet) connected to any other core element (MGW, MSC, STP) ?
yes.
This is the Osmo-BSC log (after the NOKIA_BTS_RESET command + the reset_wait_time passed):
I think it would be best to have a pcap file of the LAPD traffic.
I haven't used any Nokia BTS in ages, but at least in general E1 based BTS support is tested very recently with Ericsson RBS6000 units by Keith and Philipp.
The only big difference between the E1 BTSs is in the OML. So if the OML bring-up works, I'm surprised there are problems with the LAPD for RSL...
