{{>toc}} h1. 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. h2. Required Hardware * [[e1-t1-adapter:ICE40_E1_USB_interface|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 [[e1-t1-adapter:Isochronous_USB_Issues]] for details. If you have a system with UHCI/OHCI/EHCI, use that. h2. Major steps required for setup # Installing latest gateware and firmware into the icE1usb # building + installing the @laforge/e1oip@ branch of [[osmo-e1d]] # requesting a connection with the OCTOI hub # creating a config file for @osmo-e1d@ # possibly adding a port forward in your router h3. Installing latest gateware and firmware into the icE1usb Please follow the instructions of the "icE1usb user manaul":https://downloads.osmocom.org/docs/latest/icE1usb-usermanual.pdf Firmware is available from https://downloads.osmocom.org/binaries/icE1usb/firmware/all/ You will need "dfu-util":http://dfu-util.sourceforge.net/ for performing the USB device firmware upgrade. Most distributions should have a package for this. h3. building + installing the @laforge/e1oip@ branch of [[osmo-e1d]] As the protocol is still under fluctuation, it is not yet part of the @master@ branch and hence not available as a binary package yet. You will need to build [[osmo-e1d]] frm source. h4. dependencies You will need * build-essential (gcc, binutils, make, ...) * autotools (autoconf, automake) * libtool * pkg-config * talloc * libosmocore * libusb-1.0 If using distribution packages, make sure you install the _development_ packages (e.g. @libtalloc-dev@). h4. building <pre> autoreconf -fi ./configure make </pre> h4. installation (optional) you can run osmo-e1d from the build directory, there's no strict need to install it. If you do install it using the below instructions, the binary will be in @/usr/local/bin@ or whatever is configured at configure time. <pre> make install </pre> h3. requesting connection Please contact @laforge with your IP address and port number. *Right now the protocol does not yet support dynamic IP addresses.* h3. creating a config file
