This is a library containing common/shared code regarding the A-bis interface between BTS and BSC.
6
It implements drivers for mISDN and DAHDI based E1 cards, as well as some A-bis/IP dialects.

h2. Input Drivers

16
There are currently the following input drivers available:
17
18 3 laforge
h3. misdn
19 1 laforge
20 3 laforge
This input driver supports the mISDN code as it is present in mainline linux-2.6 kernels.
21
22 1 laforge
It uses the in-kernel LAPD implementation, and is thus bound to some restrictions.  Specifically,
23 5 fixeria
you can only have one signalling timeslot (D-channel) in every E1 line, which may cause problems
24 2 laforge
with multi-BTS or multi-TRX setups (particularly in the case of Nokia A-bis)
25 1 laforge
26 5 fixeria
You have to configure which E1 timeslot is to be used for signalling by module parameters, e.g.
27
28 3 laforge
<pre>
29 1 laforge
modprobe hfcmulti dslot=1
30 3 laforge
</pre>
31 2 laforge

will configure TS1 as signalling.

34 3 laforge
h3. misdn_lapd
35
36 1 laforge
This input driver supports the mISDN code as it is present in mainline linux-2.6 kernels.
37
However, unlike the "misdn" driver, it runs LAPD in userspace, as part of libosmo-abis.
38
39 2 laforge
In order to be able to use it, you will need to make sure the mISDN kernel driver does not
40 5 fixeria
configure any timeslot to signalling, e.g.
41
42 1 laforge
<pre>
43 2 laforge
modprobe hfcmulti dslot=-1
44 1 laforge
</pre>
45 3 laforge
46 5 fixeria
(notice the "-" in front of 1 to indicate "no signalling timeslot").
47 2 laforge
48
h3. dahdi
49
50 3 laforge
This driver supports the DAHDI (formerly known as zaptel) out-of-tree drivers for e.g.
51
the various Digium and Digium compatible E1/T1/J1 cards.
52
53 2 laforge
h3. ipa
54
55 3 laforge
This implements the ip.access A-bis/IP multiplex protocol.

h3. hsl

59
Experimental driver for support of the [HSL_Femto]
