Hey Michael,

thanks. In the moment there is another problem.

Since yesterday I wasn't able to load the module zaphfc.
modprobe zaphfc
FATAL: Error inserting zaphfc (/lib/modules/3.0.22/dahdi/zaphfc/zaphfc.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

Now I'm installing Asterisk a second time and hope that it works. Then I will try your advice again and give you a answer how it works.

Wish you a nice day.

Regards
Ellen

Hi Ellen,

I need to correct:

cd openbsc
src/osmo-nitb/osmo-nitb -c doc/examples/osmo-nitb/nanobts/openbsc.cfg -C

Then you should see the message:
<0019> ipaccess.c:841 enabling ipaccess BSC mode
DB: Database initialized.
DB: Database prepared.
<0007> sms_queue.c:232 Attempting to send 20 SMS

telnet localhost 4242

Michael

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

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

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=247932

<http://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
