Hi dear list,

After sometimes to get it work, I have set-up a fixed IP on my ip.access nanoBTS and thought that could be helpful to share the howto/tuto from this experience :

The best way for linux user is to use the ipaccess-telnet tool from the git (git clone git://git.osmocom.org/libtelnet.git) rather than BTS installer from ip.access which doesn't easily allow the access to the flags of configuration (i.e. NV attributes) of the nanoBTS.

1/installation of ipaccess-telnet

I have installed it on a debian 5.0.9 (linux 2.6.26) after git cloning git://git.osmocom.org/libtelnet.git

my autotools versions : autoconf 2.61-8 + automake 1:1.10.1-3

after running into the following autotools build

#autoreconf; automake --add-missing; autoreconf; autoconf; automake; ./configure --prefix=/usr/local; make -j 2; make install

I ran into that error "ltmain.sh: No such file or directory" and used the following command to fix that config error

#libtoolize

in the libtelnet directory and I had the ipaccess-telnet tool build/installed

2/use of ipaccess-telnet on the nanoBTS

once ipaccess-telnet is installed, one should first allow the telnet on port 3210 on the nanobts using that command

#ipaccess-config -n 0x400/0x400 BTS_IP

which set the correct mask on the flag enabling the telnet on port 3210. Then I could telnet the nanoBTS on port 3210 w/ the following command

#ipaccess-telnet <ip> 3210

once on the CLI interface for the nanoBTS, you can get help w/

help config

(...) db::setnetmask <net mask> Sets nBTS IP Net Mask db::setipaddr <ipaddr> Sets nBTS IP address (...) db::getflags (...) db::setflag <flag> Enables Config Flag db::clearflag <flag> Disables Config Flag (...)

dhcp help

Expecting 3 arguments DHCP configuration flags in database: - DHCP enabled: TRUE - static IP Address: TRUE - static IP gateway config: FALSE - static VSI config: FALSE DHCP configuration flags in use: - DHCP enabled: TRUE - static IP Address: TRUE - static IP gateway config: FALSE - static VSI config: FALSE DHCP uptime = 52567 seconds DHCP state: BOUND T1 inactive T2 inactive Lease Timer inactive

and the static ip configuration :

To set-up the IP address

db::setipaddr IP db::setnetmask netmask

To disable the DHCP client

dhcp dhcp false db::clearflag dhcp
