Re: [Openbts-discuss] Setting up a new BTS; now: howto get asterisk running?

Hi again,

thanks for your replies. Sorry that I was missing to give an update on the current progress. I was not really expecting that somebody would read and reply. ;)

Last week I got voice calls running. Though activating GSMTAP may be a good idea for further debugging. Thanks for the hint!

I have a pile of BLU handsets that do well in registering with old T-Mobile SIMs, but one particular Android handset is very finicky. I assume you have an ARFCN chosen that is appropriate for the handset's RF capabilities? 


For the moment I tried to configure Asterisk manually, i.e. editing /etc/asterisk/sip.conf and /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf and then typing `reload` in the Asterisk CLI which works okay. I added some GSM subscribers and was able to do testcalls. Furthermore I added Echo and Test Tone Service manually which also works.

Nevertheless I have to try to do the setup via the installation script again to add automatic database requests for GSM subscribers. To add everybody manually is a pain. I still have to check the script again because I think when I tried it once in the past it broke my setup (database; probably because of "wrong" installation order).

What I could not really figure out: is Multi-ARFCN for USRP N210 currently supported within the public repository or still only the commercial one? Will this ever be made available to public or not?

Thank you for your help,
