Testing Openbsc without a BTS

[Priyanka Behl]

Hi everyone,
I am trying to test Openbsc without a BTS. I need your help as I am very new to Openbsc.
After doing the configurations for openbsc-multitrx.cfg file this is how I started the process:
cd openbsc/openbsc
src/osmo-nitb -c doc/examples/osmo-nitb/nanobts/openbsc-multitrx.cfg -C


And the output I received was:
<0019> input/ipaccess.c:925 enabling ipaccess BSC mode
DB: Database initialized.
DB: Database prepared.
<0001d> sms_queue.c:220 Attempting to send 20 SMS


After this I added a subscriber in the hlr and the subscriber was added in the output:
 <0019> ipaccess.c:841 enabling ipaccess BSC mode
DB: Database initialized.
DB: Database prepared.
<001d> sms_queue.c:232 Attempting to send 20 SMS
<0002> gsm_subsciber.c:390 Expiring inactive subscriber Testing(ID 1)

After this I used the following commands on the osmo-nitb console and receive the following output:
Openbsc>show subscrber id 1
            ID:  1,    Authorized:  1
            Name:    'Testing'
            Extension:    9999999999
            LAC:    0/0x0
            IMSI:    404012345678903
           TMSI:    0012D681
            Pending:    0
            Usecount:    1
Openbsc> subscriber id 1 send sms Hello
Openbsc> subscriber id 1 silent call start any
%subscriber not attached


Am I doing the right thing, are there some more configurations that I am required to do and is this the only output that can be achieved without a BTS?
Also the lac is being displayed as 0/0x0, is this how it should have been?
Please let me know, I really need help on this.
Thanks and regards
Priyanka
