Dingani Brian Nkala brian at movirtu.comHi All, I'm very new to OpenBSC and nanoBTS (but have quite a bit of experience in telecoms in general). I recently acquired a brand new ip.access nanoBTS (nanoGSM) for a project I'm working on and I promptly installed OpenBSC on Ubuntu 11.04 successfully without any headaches. So far I've managed to do an "ipaccess-find" and found the BTS, and also set the Unit ID of the nanoBTS + OML address using the "ipaccess-config" utility. My problem is, when I startup osmo-nitb, I can see the BTS trying to connect and then it sends a NACK and OpenBSC drops the links. Below is the output I get on the screen when I startup osmo-nitb: /home/beta/libosmocore/openbsc/openbsc/src/osmo-nitb# ./osmo-nitb -debug=DRLL:DCC:DMM:DRR:DRSL:DNM:DSMS:DMNSMS:DDB:DMEAS -c openbsc.cfg DB: Database initialized.
