 '''Get mISDN kernel and user space:''' 

 Note: if you see "configure: error: kernel build tree does not exist" then you need to install kernel headers. 
 {{{ 
 git clone git://git.misdn.eu/mISDN.git 
 cd mISDN 
 ./configure  
 cp mISDN.cfg.default standalone/mISDN.cfg 
 make modules

 ldconfig 
 cd .. 

 depmod –a 
 modprobe mISDN_core 
 modprobe mISDN_dsp 
 modprobe mISDN_l1loop nchannel=30 interfaces=2 
 }}} 

 To auto-load the mISDN kernel modules do: 

 {{{ 
 cd /etc/modules-load.d/ 
  cat > misdn-modules.conf 
  mISDN_core 
  mISDN_dsp 
  mISDN_l1loop nchannel=30 interfaces=2 
 }}} 
 Hit Ctrl+C 
 {{{ 
 chmod 644 misdn-modules.conf 
 cd / 
 }}} 

 '''Install Asterisk (ver 1.8 !):''' 

 On Ubuntu 14.04 there is no version 1.8 Asterisk anymore, to get it, do the following: 
 {{{ 
 wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/153943558/asterisk-modules_1.8.13.1~dfsg-3ubuntu3_amd64.deb 
 wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/153943773/asterisk-config_1.8.13.1~dfsg-3ubuntu3_all.deb 
 wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/153943772/asterisk-dev_1.8.13.1~dfsg-3ubuntu3_all.deb 
 wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/153943557/asterisk_1.8.13.1~dfsg-3ubuntu3_amd64.deb 
 wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/107480639/asterisk-core-sounds-en-gsm_1.4.22-1_all.deb 
 wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/58272892/asterisk-moh-opsound-gsm_2.03-1_all.deb 
 dpkg -i *.deb 
 apt-get -f install 
 }}} 

 Otherwise the Asterisk channel driver (chan_lcr) will not compile. 

 '''Get LCR (master):''' 
 {{{ 
 git clone git://git.misdn.eu/lcr.git/ 
 cd lcr 
 autoreconf -fi 
 ./configure --with-gsm-bs --with-misdn --with-asterisk 
 make 
 make install 
 cp chan_lcr.so /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/ 
 ldconfig 
 cd .. 
 }}} 

 Configure the LCR interfaces: 
 {{{ 
 cat > /usr/etc/lcr/interface.conf  
 [GSM] 
 gsm-bs 
 tones no 
 earlyb no 
 bridge ast 

 [ast] 
 remote asterisk 
 context from-lcr 
 earlyb no 
 tones yes 
 bridge GSM 
 }}} 
 Hit Ctrl+C 

 Add the following two lines to the bottom of options.conf: 
 {{{ 
 nano /usr/etc/lcr/options.conf 

 socketuser asterisk 
 socketgroup asterisk 
 }}} 

 '''Configuration of Asterisk:''' 

 You can find an attached configuration file called "extensions.conf". Please put that file and overwrite the original configuration at /etc/asterisk/exetensions.conf 

 Then restart asterisk: 

 {{{ 
 sudo service asterisk restart 
 }}} 

 '''Configuring the GGSN:''' 

 Use the example configuration file called "ggsn.conf" and put it to /etc/ggsn.conf 

 The traffic from the UEs (mobiles, USB modems etc) are terminated on a TUN interface with the IP address: 10.0.0.1 
 The UEs are going to get an address from this range: 10.0.0.2 - 10.0.0.254 
 The GGSN will listen on 127.0.0.5. In this example all the services (BSC, GGSN, SGSN, PCU etc.) are running on the same computer. 

 '''Configuring OpenBSC, Osmo-SGSN, Osmo-PCU''' 

 Please use the attached examle config files at the bottom fo this page. 

 '''Starting the services''' 

 Please note that in this example we are going to need quite a few terminals to be open, because except for LCR, GGSN and Asterisk, we are going to run the services in foreground. 

 Start the GGSN: 

 {{{ 
 ggsn 
 }}} 

 Start LCR: 

 {{{ 
 lcr fork 
 }}} 

 Open a new terminal and start the SGSN (with the sample config file provided): 

 {{{ 
 sudo osmo-sgsn -c sgsn.conf 
 }}} 

 Open a new terminal and start the BSC (with the sample config file provided): 

 {{{ 
 sudo osmo-nitb -C -c openbsc.conf -T -P -m 
 }}} 

 Open a new terminal and start Osmo-TRX: 

 {{{ 
 sudo osmo-trx 
 }}} 

 Open a new terminal and start Osmo-BTS (with the sample config file provided): 

 {{{ 
 sudo osmobts-trx -c osmo-bts.cfg 
 }}} 

 Open a new terminal and start Osmo-PCU (with the sample config file provided): 

 {{{ 
 sudo osmo-pcu -c osmo-pcu.cfg 
 }}} 

 '''Setting up NAT for GPRS:''' 

 In order for the UEs to be able to "see" the internet, we need to enable network address translation (NAT). 

 First determine which network interface is connected to the internet with: 
 {{{ 
 ifconfig 
 }}} 

 After you know the interface name (for example: eth0 or eth1 or em1 etc.), run the following commands. 

 Note that in the second command you need to use your interface name instead of "em1". 

 {{{ 
 sudo echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward 
 sudo iptables -A POSTROUTING -s 10.0.0.0/24 -t nat -o em1 -j MASQUERADE
