Here is what I can see from Wireshark:

IPA protocol ip.access, type: OML
    DataLen: 13
    Protocol: OML (0xff)
GSM A-bis OML, Radio Channel(00,00,02) Set Channel Attributes

    Placement Indicator: Only (0x80)

    Length Indicator: 9
    FOM Message Type: Set Channel Attributes
        FOM Object Class: Radio Channel (0x03)
        FOM Object Instance BTS: 0
        FOM Object Instance TRX: 0
        FOM Object Instance TS: 2
        FOM Attribute ID: Channel Combination
            FOM Attribute Length: 1
            Channel Combination: Unknown (0xff)  <----- Is it legal?!?
        FOM Attribute ID: Training Sequence Code
            FOM Attribute Length: 1
            TSC: 0x07

My best guess is that OsmoBSC should never send any OML messages for disabled timeslots (i.e. set to NONE).
laforge, what do you think? If my guess is correct, I will update the ticket and change project to OsmoBSC.

I Think it is useful to send auch messages, as they could happen at runtime of a bts. What if the TS was previously configured as TCH and now you disable it in the config and restart the oml link. On a BTS that doesn't reboot (like all non-osmobts BTS) you would keep that timeslot in TCH rather than disabling it. In the best case, the behavior of non-osmo bts should be tested. If they support NONE, so should osmobts.
