If phones are able to see the BTS signal then the problem may be with the Asterisk server. Did you install Asterisk ? If yes then in the same machine or in the different machine ? You need to provide the IP address of Asterisk in OpenBTS.config file for 'Asterisk.IP' field.

First of all what do you mean by not registering? you try to select the network and the cell phone isn't able to connect? or you just can't make phone calls? first of all, you have to take into account that phones work in very strange ways, something like you experienced with samsung mobiles seeing the network and other ones not is quite normal specially if you have operators networks present. The best way to test OpenBTS is to check it in a place with no other network, but I know this is not allways possible. Secondly, there is a line in the openbts.config (Control.OpenRegistration) which should be present. But as I have told you it may be a problem of the phone, from my experience Blackberrys work very well with OpenBTS but they are not allways available.

You should not have to change any ports in your config file. The USRP2 connected on 192.168.10.2 is independent of the address and port settings in OpenBTS.

We need to narrow down to issue. After looking at the Asterisk log, it looks to be working correctly. Coming to BTS side, can you set the logging level from INFO to DEBUG in OpenBTS.Config file to get the exact error log. Here are some pointers for this issue- 1.I would advise you to use an external 10Mhz clock from any signal generator instead of using internal one. Internal clock gives the issue of Frequency drift where the BTS downlink signalling keeps on drifting from the original frequency. 2. I also suggest not to configure the BTS in the same BAND as local operators. If local operators use GSM 900 band, configure BTS to 1800 band or vice versa. Otherwise you need to use a RF shield box make your phone do not see the local operator's signal. Phones look for highest signal strength and report them. If local carriers have strong signal, mostly they will be reported before the BTS one when Manual search is done. 3. Try connecting two antennas on USRP2. One on TX/RX and other on RX2. Otherwise you need to use a terminator if you want to work with a single Antenna. In my case this was the important problem as cell phone used to lose sync with the BTS very often until I put two antennas. 4. What happens when you see the BTS signal and ask the phone to select it manually ? Do you see any SIP registration request triggered from OpenBTS to Asterisk ? I assume you are not able to reach upto this stage and hence your problem can be resolved by following above 3 points. I use Nokia 5300 Express Music, some old Nokia Phones and Google Android phones for my use. -- Abhinav On Thu, Jun 2, 2011 at 2:33 AM, madhuri gontala <mads3009@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Abhinav, > I have installed asterisk on the same desktop and also ran it before > running openBTS.

As of now > i'm just using the internal clock... As previously mentioned, please further describe what happens when, "the samsung mobile is able to detect the signal from USRP2 but not able to register." The mobile should receive a text message when it successfully selects the BTS, which occurs independently of smqueue. If the mobile receives the text, you should be able to dial into Asterisk. If the mobile sees the OpenBTS signal, but does not receive a text message, there may be a receive signal issue. Behaviour when this occurs varies, but it is not uncommon for the mobile to repeatedly lose signal while in idle mode as it tries to connect and then gives up. Blackberry phones that display separate uplink / downlink activity may be useful here. If one mobile sees the signal, but another doesn't, then it is clearly a handset issue. If you can, try manual search and network selection. Locking to a stable 10 MHz reference helps, but generally isn't necessary in my experience. I recommend - to all UHD users - updating your copy of OpenBTS. Though much of recent activity is mostly for the E100, many changes apply generally to all UHD devices. Also, please post a TRX log.
