Hey there, I have come across a nanoBTS 165AU but since is used and not tested from the previous owner, I guess it has set a static IP. After turned on is booting (RED light) and then remains (ORANGE not flashing) even if the eth is connected to the router.
At the moment I am trying with ipaccess-find and BtsInstaller to find in on my LAN . Unfortunately it is not answering and is not even getting an IP from the router by the DHCP daemon.
Two possibilities, I have thought: - - an hw/sw issue; - - a Static IP is set.
Supposing that is the 2nd possibility, I was thinking: - - to change private class of my LAN, to see if it changes something; - - to make an hard reset of the bts.
Do you know if it possible to reset in someway? Ever happened this issue to you guys? Suggestions or insults are welcome.
Thanks in advance. Cheers, Luca
P.S.: I don't recall exactly, but one time I heard that is possible to reset by short-circuiting some pins of the LAN/48VDC eth connector. Is it right?!
Short out pins 9 and 10. Some folks who can get their hands on a 10-pin RJ45 plug can make a dongle to do it, however I just use a small flat head screwdriver and patience. A little more info here http://listarc.com/showthread.php?730101-Unable+to+configure+a+BTS

reset-procedure:
In case you have a static-ip configured nanoBTS or other inconvenience with the nanoBTS ... just use the reset-dongle. The reset-dongle is a plug for the TIB-IN with short 9+10. The reset procedure is as follows: Power off Reset-dongle in TIB-IN Power on Wait until the light is flashing red (30 sec.) Power off When you are now starting the nanoBTS the light will flash red/green to tell you there is no ID set. Find the ip now by ipaccess-find eth0 Set the ID by ipaccess-config -u 1/0/0 999.999.999.999 The 999.999.999.999 is for the ip :-)

As suggested by you and Chris, I have patiently shorted 9+10 and the light started to blink RED. Subsequently I have turned off the bts and removed the shortcircuit. However, after turning it on again, the situation is always on ORANGE stable/not blinking light.
Right now I am reading the manual and it says: "LED_SELF_TEST, Orange Steady, From power on until end of backhaul power on self-test"
I am wondering what else could be the problem. Maybe the MacGyver's way to short-circuit didn't work properly. (I am going to look for a proper RJ-69)
I have also noticed that if I don't plug it into the router, the BTS shows a RED stable/not blinking light. And as the manual says, it could be a bad sign (I guess):
"LED_SELF_TEST_FAILURE, Red Steady, In boot or application code when a power on self-test fails.
LED_UNSPECIFIED_FAILURE, Red Steady, On s/w fatal errors."
If you have other suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.
Cheers, Luca
P.S. Just to be precise, I have followed the standard pin numeration to find the 9-10 pins ( http://quatech.com/products/images/rj45_sds.gif )
Hey there, I have tried for three hours to repeat again and again the hard reset and the procedure was fine (aka Red light blinking and then turning off the bts). But still, after the hard reset, the nanobts boots (red light) and then stays fixed on Orange. sad :(
Obviously with my other rugby-139 both ipaccess-find and BTSInstaller work perfectly, so I strongly suppose that the problem should be more serious than a static IP issue. I have tried to delve into the manuals, but unfortunately, I didn't find nothing useful.
Maybe a good soul can suggest me something else to try before giving up (e.g. UART, JTAG, USB connector?!).
Thank you for the attention. Cheers, Luca

Do you have a DHCP server on the local net to assign it a new IP address? Are you connecting to it via that IP address to set variables?

How long have you been waiting? Mine needs about 2 minutes with steady yellow LED before switching to yellow flashing and connecting to BSC.

Hi,

Well to be honest I didn't check precisely, but I guess around 4/5 minutes. I will try to keep it connected to the router and wait more.
P.S. After short-circuiting the 9+10 and relative Red blinking, do you first turn off, subsequently remove the short and then turn it on again? Or do you remove the short while red light is blinking and then turn it off? I have tried both, just in case.
Do you have a DHCP server on the local net to assign it a new IP address? Are you connecting to it via that IP address to set variables?
Actually the BTS is connected to the router, where is running the DHCP server. And I am pretty sure that this environment works, because the older rugby139 works perfectly with that.
Cheers, Luca

Hi Luca;
Kindly is it possible to share the procedure you use to configure your NanoBTS? I have one from ip.access to commissioner and put in service but I don't have any procedure. my email is jean_dessal@yahoo.fr
Thanks in advance Jean

Here the procedure I used to reset the configuration of my nanoBTS (which defaults to DHCP): - power off the nanoBTS - short the pin 9+10 on the TIB+IN port (the one farest away from TIB+OUT). You could use a 10P10C connector (RJ50/RJ69). I used a small flat screwdriver. - power on the nanoBTS. The boot (LED on RED) will take longer then usual. At the end the LED will blink RED rapidly - power off the nanoBTS - remove the short from TIB+IN - power up the nanoBTS - it will be reseted (the LED will first be RED will booting, then blink red/green to tell that the UID has not been set
hope it helps, kevin
