Hi,

I figured out that the issue is in connectivity between BSC and BTS. I am
able to fix half of the issue. I would appreciate any further guidance.

*Firstly, I ran only BTS module*. In the BTS log, I see an OML connection
established. Transcribed are the logs.

<0017> control_if.c:911 CTRL at 127.0.0.1 4238
<0010> telnet_interface.c:104 Available via telnet 127.0.0.1 4241
<0012> input/ipaccess.c:1024 enabling ipaccess BTS mode, OML connecting to
127.0.0.1:3002
<000b> trx_if.c:1174 phy0.0: Open transceiver

*<0012> input/ipa.c:128 127.0.0.1:3002 <http://127.0.0.1:3002> connection
done*<0012> input/ipaccess.c:846 received ID_GET for unit ID 1800/0/0
<000b> trx_if.c:185 phy0.0: No satisfactory response from transceiver(CMD
POWEROFF)

It again fails to get any response.

*Next, I ran the combination of TRX-UHD module and BTS module. *I failed to
get even OML connection.

<0017> control_if.c:911 CTRL at 127.0.0.1 4238
<0010> telnet_interface.c:104 Available via telnet 127.0.0.1 4241
<0012> input/ipaccess.c:1024 enabling ipaccess BTS mode, OML connecting to
127.0.0.1:3002
<000b> trx_if.c:1174 phy0.0: Open transceiver
<000d> abis.c:142 Signalling link down
<0001> bts.c:292 Shutting down BTS 0, Reason Abis close
Shutdown timer expired

I could see only this in trace.

Thanks for the help.
