bs11_config¶
bs11_config is a small commandline program that can be used to configure the BS-11 BTS using its RS232 link.
It can perform a subset of the functions that are typically performed using the Siemens LMT (Local Maintenance Terminal) software, such as- querying some essential configuration values
- creating and deleting TRX1 objects
- download of SAFETY LOAD software
- download of BTS software
- creating an initial configuration (such as creating BBSIG,CCLK,PA,... objects)
- setting the Tx output power of the RF amplifier

Querying the BS-11¶
$ ./bs11_config -p /dev/ttyUSB0 query

Disconnect¶
This puts the BTS out of Normal mode into Maintenance mode and disconnects it from the BSC
$ ./bs11_config -p /dev/ttyUSB0 disconnect bs11_config (C) 2009 by Harald Welte and Dieter Spaar This is FREE SOFTWARE with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY LMT LOGON: ACK PHASE: 3 Normal MBCCU0: Load MBCCU1: Load Abis-link: Restoring PHASE: 2 Maintenance MBCCU0: Load MBCCU1: Load Abis-link: Down
Reconnect¶
This puts the BTS out of Maintenance mode into Normal mode and reconnects it to the BSC
$ ./bs11_config -p /dev/ttyUSB0 reconnect bs11_config (C) 2009 by Harald Welte and Dieter Spaar This is FREE SOFTWARE with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY LMT LOGON: ACK PHASE: 2 Maintenance MBCCU0: Load MBCCU1: Load Abis-link: Down PHASE: 3 Normal MBCCU0: Load MBCCU1: Load Abis-link: Restoring
Download SMU Safety Load¶
$ ./bs11_config -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -S /path/to/my/BTSBMC76.SWI
Note: When the SMU Safety download has completed and the minimal configuration has been created you should let the BS11 boot the first time. The power LED will light up red - this is normal. After the boot you will be able to query the BS11. Bring it into the maintenance (disconnect) mode and proceed with the software download.
NOTE: The OpenBSC/bs11-abis project is not providing any Firmware images for the BS-11, as they are copyrighted material
Minimal Configuration¶
The minimal configuration is automatically created if the BS-11 enters the MINIMAL CONFIG REQUIRED state after the SMU safety load is installed.
Download Software Load¶
$ ./bs11_config -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -s /path/to/my/HS011106.SWL
If the BS-11 is not in Maintenance State, it first needs to be detached from the BSC (using -D option)
$ ./bs11_config -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -D -s /path/to/my/HS011106.SWL
If you want to force a download, just add the -f parameter.
The described procedure lasts for about a hour and should generate the following output:

Configuring Multi-Drop setup¶
A multi-drop setup is where multiple BS-11 are daisy-chained next to each other on a single E1 line.
All but the last BS-11 in the chain will have to be configured to- have BPORT0 in multi-drop mode
- create a BPORT1 object
- have BPORT1 to be set in multi-drop mode.
You can achieve this by the following bs11_config command sequence:
$ ./bs11_config bport0-multidrop $ ./bs11_config create-bport1 $ ./bs11_config bport1-multidrop
You can verify the results to show in query like this:
BPORT0 ATTRIBUTES:
Line Configuration: Multi-Drop (1)
BPORT1 ATTRIBUTES:
Line Configuration: Multi-Drop (1)
