Re: [Openbts-discuss] OpenBTS Short Name Does not Display on Handset

[Jacinda S. <jac...@gm...>]

Hi,

I've successfully set up an OpenBTS system and can make calls between phones
registered with my mini-network.  However, the network name displayed on the
handset is the combination of MCC and MNC, no matter what I put for the
shortname.  I think this may be the fault of the handset's PLRs because when
I imitate (very briefly) the MCC and MNC of AT&T, for example, AT&T shows up
on the handset, even if I set shortname to be "Test" or some other value.

Am I correct in thinking this is the fault of the handsets I'm using? I've
tried an unlocked iPhone and Motorola CE0168 - both have the same issue.
 I'd like to be able to display OpenBTS as the network name.  Is there a way
I can fix this?

Also, I know that it is being transmitted to the phones because this line
appears in the log file when the phones register:
1281453503.7130 INFO 140397045929744 GSMLogicalChannel.cpp:76:send: L3 SAP0
sending MM MM Information short name=(OpenBTS)

Thanks for any help,
Jacinda
