Setting Rejection Code

[shorty123]

Hi all, I've currently followed the project set out at the page:

https://blog.strcpy.info/2016/04/21/building-a-portable-gsm-bts-using-bladerf-raspberry-and-yatebts-the-definitive-guide/

All seems to be working well, handsets can connect, calls can be made, sms' sent etc.
I'm wanting to set the rejection code to 13, roaming not allowed in this LA. I've had a look at the following thread:
http://forum.yate.ro/index.php?topic=296.0

I'm afraid I don't understand just what I'm supposed to change/set within the ybts:cpp, I understand this is the field, YBTSMM::locUpdTerminated(), but don't get where/what I'm supposed to do with it. I was going to try to reject all except for subscribers in List Subscribers field in NIB.

I've changed and re-compiled the nib.js file but that doesn't seem to be giving me much love there either, my lack of java knowledge wouldn't be helping my cause!

Anyone able to steer me in the right direction, or if you encountered the same, how did you resolve the issue?

[Monica Tepelus]

You don't need to change anything. If subscribers are defined and you are using nib mode, all other registrations will be rejected.

[shorty123]

Of course, complete mind blank on my part 

Thanks a lot for the answer, I'll give it a go and report back.

[shorty123]

Been a bit time poor lately, getting back on to configuring this thing. 

I've set subscribers, but non subscribers just continuously get rejected by my BTS without going back to the real network.  Is there a workaround for this? Setting a rejection code to ensure they don't come back?

[shorty123]

Also had issues running the yate shutdown command.

Unit goes through shutdown procedure, shuts down but then re initializes, and goes through this loop until I unplug it. Any ideas on this? I'd put it down to USB 2.0 on the pi.

[Monica Tepelus]

Hi,

How did you shut it down? Can you post a log with what happens after command is given?

[marian]

Hi
If you are using the command 'mbts shutdown' this only stops the mbts application.
The BTS module will detect it stopped and will restart it!

If you want to stop/start the BTS use:
ybts start
ybts stop

[shorty123]

brilliant marian, thank you very much. I will give it a try today.

Also may have solved my rejection issue. The code that's being issued is code 13, I think the lack of GSM network here was leaving the handset with nowhere else to go.

For reference I was issuing the command

yate shutdown

To attempt to shutdown the bts.

[shorty123]

Hi,

How did you shut it down? Can you post a log with what happens after command is given?

Sorry Monica, didn't see your reply at first. This is the log, it just goes on a loop until power is pulled. I attempted the ybts start/stop as marian suggested, however was met with

Code: [Select]

bash: ybts: command not found
My usual (unsuccessful) shutdown procedure is below.

Code: [Select]

root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# yate shutdown

[marian]

See 'Failed to bind ....'  messages: you have another yate running!
Make sure you are running o instance only.

The commands I gave you must be typed in a telnet console.
See http://docs.yate.ro/wiki/Rmanager

[shorty123]

Ahh, thank you marian. I was starting yate from the pi home directory. I'm not able to telnet into it before starting the bts, then telnet into it and can stop and start it. Is this normal?

[marian]

I'm not sure I understand.
What do you mean by: I'm not able to telnet into it before starting the bts?

[shorty123]

If I log into the pi, I can't telnet into the bladeRF.

Code: [Select]

root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# telnet 127.0.0.1 5038
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
But if I run the command:

Code: [Select]

root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# yate -sd -vvvvv
root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# telnet 127.0.0.1 5038
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
Yate 5.5.1-develi r (http://YATE.null.ro) ready on raspberrypi.
ybts stop
That is the workaround I have for telnet. It also won't let me use the mbts rawconfig from within telnet without having ybts start first.

[marian]

telnet opens a connection to specified ip and port. Someone must listen on it!
Yate binds on 127.0.0.1:5038 by default
You must start yate in order to be able to connect to it!

[shorty123]

Ahh ok, so what I'm doing is right?

Thank you for your help and patience with me!

I'm finally starting to learn my way around the software, and enjoying it!
