Ellen Apolinar ellen.apolinar.td at googlemail.comHey 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 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 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
