Getting Started¶

This page is a work-in-progress documenting what you need to do to get connected to the Community_TDMSS7_Network using an icE1usb.

Required Hardware¶

• icE1usb hardware (contact sales@sysmocom.de for an OCTOI community special price of EUR 75)
• GPS antenna with SMA male plug (not included)
• Some equipment with an E1 interface which you want to connect to the community network. Typically this is a PBX with E1/PRI/S2M upstream connection.
• Some computer running Linux with a USB host controller to connect the icE1usb to. Note: Many USB XHCI host controllers suffer from bugs, restricting operation to only one of the two E1 ports, see Isochronous_USB_Issues for details. If you have a system with UHCI/OHCI/EHCI, use that.

Major steps required for setup¶

1. Installing latest gateware and firmware into the icE1usb
2. building + installing the laforge/e1oip branch of osmo-e1d
3. requesting a connection with the OCTOI hub
4. creating a config file for osmo-e1d
5. possibly adding a port forward in your router
