Hi All,

After my initial success early in the week things seems to have gone pear
shaped!

I cannot get OpenBTS to start reliably as per traces below. After a power
cycle of the UmTRX I can normally get OpenBTS to start for a few seconds
before the transceiver terminates again. ./transceiver starts and runs on
its own OK but there is a lot less traffic in a wireshark trace compared to
being started from OpenBTS.

When the transceiver starts from OpenBTS a Wireshark trace shows a lot of
UDP packets.

Approx 460 x 36 byte UDP packets for the first 0.5 seconds
Then some variable length UDP packets all ACKed back with 36 bytes
After 0.8 from startup the UmTRX sends a 28 byte message:

14d0000700000005000000140000000000a6d5180000000000100100

After approx 1.0s from startup I then only get a few packets back from UmTRX
After 5s I get nothing back from UmTRX
After 6s I get an ICMP Port Unreachable

If I had more time I would look into the transceiver source code to figure
out where things are stopping.

I suspect this might be a networking issue and have tried changing some
Linux kernel buffer settings without success. I have also reset my OpenBTS
database just in case I had an option in there causing this. I'll carry on
checking out the network side of things but I am starting so suspect there
might be an issue with the UmTRX.

Help!

Regards
Craig
