Hi Ravi

- Can we proceed with one nanobts.?
Yes, in fact i would recommend to start with one and if you get familar with openbsc you can add more bts.
2)I've configured bts ip,unit id, oml ip of one bts.But not able to get the firmware.
Check out ipaccess-config util from the openbts source. You can download the firmware out of the bts you have configured.
How to get it and configure for NanoBTS??
nanoBTS is a different project and based on the USRP. checkout openbts.org to get further informations.
3)how to run openbsc ??

Hi Ravi and Peter,
Regarding Ravi's question:
2)I've configured bts ip,unit id, oml ip of one bts.But not able to get the firmware.
I have never seen a nanoBTS that ships without firmware. How would you be able to set the Unit ID, etc. if there was no firmware on the nanoBTS?
If you need specific firmware versions for your nanoBTS, please contact your supplier/distributor or ip.access directly.
How to get it and configure for NanoBTS??
nanoBTS is a different project and based on the USRP. checkout openbts.org to get further informations.
Hrm? Just to clarify:
* OpenBSC is our software.
* nanoBTS is a product manufactured by ip.access. Can be used with OpenBSC
* OpenBTS is a SDR GSM Um-SIP gateway by Kestrel Signal Processing; does not need OpenBSC as it bypasses the clasic BSC/MSC components.
Ravi: OpenBSC is Free Software provied 'as is'. You are free to download it from our site, study the source code, compile it and use it like you seem fit. But there is no documentation apart from what is on the website (wiki) and in the source code itself. There is no "end user support". You get the software for free, but you're on your own from that point on. It is not our task to provide you detailed guidance on how to install and use the software.

Dear Peter and All,
Do you have any idea or example of the ipaccess-config usage to how to download the firmware from BTS into your debian system .
Does the firmware comes from ipaccess already installed into NanoBTS or we install it ?
Omar,
how should we know in what you get your particular nanoBTS units delivered?
You have to talk to your supplier about that.
For all I know, it is customary for the nanoBTS to ship with pre-installed firmware. Based on your support contract with ip.access you may receive firmware updates from time to time, which you can then apply either using tools from ip.access or using our ipaccess-config. Our tool is of course not officially recognized/authorized/recommended/endorsed for this purpose.
