4 | |||
5 | 1 | laforge | The MA10 is a full-length ISA card for PCs. |
6 | |||
7 | It contains multiple E1 transceivers and has the following external connections |
||
8 | 3 | laforge | * Handset (RJ-11 socket) |
9 | * RX0 (120 Ohms and 75 Ohms) |
||
10 | * RX1 (120 Ohms and 75 Ohms) |
||
11 | * TX1 (120 Ohms and 75 Ohms) |

15 | |||
16 | |||
17 | 1 | laforge | As we use the BS11 in 120 Ohms symmetric configuration, we also use the 120 Ohms symmetric ports of the MA10. |
18 | |||
19 | The 120 Ohms symmetric ports of the MA10 are all LEMO type FGG.0B.302.CLAD42Z |

23 | 3 | laforge | h2. MA10 Software |
24 | |||
25 | |||
26 | 1 | laforge | There are a number of different software packages available for the MA10 |
27 | |||

37 | h3. Abis Monitor |
||
38 | |||
39 | |||
40 | 1 | laforge | The Abis Monitor allows you to monitor an Abis link. You connect the two RX ports to the E1 link and can thus sniff |
41 | the bidirectional communication between BSC and BTS. |
||
42 | |||
43 | There are commercial extensions (today they would probably be called plug-ins) that extend the protocol parser |
||
44 | with vendor-specific commands, such as the Siemens O&M layer. |
||
45 | |||
46 | |||
47 | 3 | laforge | h3. Abis Simulator |
48 | |||
49 | |||
50 | 1 | laforge | This is a complete simulator for the BSC side of the Abis link. Using the Abis simulator and a BTS, you can |
51 | emulate a GSM network. |
||
52 | |||
53 | In this mode, the MA10 assumes an active role and thus you need to connect RX0 and TX0 with the BTS. |
||

56 | h3. Restrictions |
||
57 | |||
58 | 2 | laforge | |
59 | Audio output/input with headset is not supported by any of the "AbisSim" releases. |
||
60 | Only echo loop is supported on traffic channels. |
||
61 | This means that using a mobile phone connected to BTS controlled by the MA10 |
||
62 | can only loop back the audio input form this mobile. |
