Setup description:
- MCC: 001, MNC: 01
- Single OpenStack VM with Kamailio IMS and Open5GS (Internal IP 10.4.128.21 and Floating IP 172.24.15.30)
- 4G Casa Smallcell
- Sysmocom USIM - sysmoUSIM-SJS1
- Oneplus 5 as UE
{: .blue}

OpenStack is not required for VoLTE setup. If you are using one machine without OpenStack, you can start from step 3.
{: .notice--warning}

#### 1. Start from Bionic Ubuntu cloud image
#### 2. Use the following Cloud init config while spawning an instance

```
#cloud-config
disable_root: 0
ssh_pwauth: True
users:
  - name: root
chpasswd:
  list: |
    root:admin
  expire: False
runcmd:
  - sed -i -e '/^#PermitRootLogin/s/^.*$/PermitRootLogin yes/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config
  - systemctl restart sshd
```

This removes all existing cloud users and allows only root user and sets a password
{: .notice--warning}

#### 3. Install following packages

```
$ apt update && apt upgrade -y && apt install -y mysql-server tcpdump screen ntp ntpdate git-core dkms gcc flex bison libmysqlclient-dev make \
libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libxml2-dev libpcre3-dev bash-completion g++ autoconf rtpproxy libmnl-dev libsctp-dev ipsec-tools libradcli-dev \
libradcli4
```

#### 4. Clone Kamailio repository and checkout 5.3 version of repository

```
$ mkdir -p /usr/local/src/
$ cd /usr/local/src/
$ git clone https://github.com/herlesupreeth/kamailio
$ cd kamailio
$ git checkout -b 5.3 origin/5.3
```

#### 5. Generate build config files

```
$ cd /usr/local/src/kamailio
$ make cfg
```

#### 6. Enable MySQL module and all required IMS modules. 

Edit modules.lst file present at /usr/local/src/kamailio/src
{: .notice--info}

The contents of `modules.lst` should be as follows:

```
# this file is autogenerated by make modules-cfg

# the list of sub-directories with modules
modules_dirs:=modules

modules= $(filter-out $(modules_noinc), $(addprefix modules/, $(include_modules) )) $(modules_noinc) 
modules_configured:=1
```


#### 7. Compile and install Kamailio

```
$ cd /usr/local/src/kamailio
$ export RADCLI=1
$ make Q=0 all | tee make_all.txt
$ make install | tee make_install.txt
$ ldconfig
```

The binaries and executable scripts are installed in: `/usr/local/sbin`

```
kamailio - Kamailio SIP server
kamdbctl - script to create and manage the Databases
kamctl - script to manage and control Kamailio SIP server
kamcmd - CLI - command line tool to interface with Kamailio SIP server
```

To be able to use the binaries from command line, make sure that `/usr/local/sbin` is set in PATH environment variable. 
You can check that with `echo $PATH`. If not and you are using `bash`, open `/root/.bash_profile` and at the end add:
```
  PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/sbin
  export PATH
```

Kamailio modules are installed at:
`/usr/local/lib64/kamailio/modules`

The documentation and readme files are installed at:
`/usr/local/share/doc/kamailio`

The configuration files are installed at:
`/usr/local/etc/kamailio`

In case you set the PREFIX variable in `make cfg` command, then replace /usr/local in all paths above with the value of PREFIX in order to locate the files installed.

#### 8. Populate MySQL database using `kamctlrc` command

Edit SIP_DOMAIN and DBENGINE in the `/usr/local/etc/kamailio/kamctlrc` configuration file (Used by kamctl and kamdbctl tools).

Set the SIP_DOMAIN to your SIP service domain (or IP address if you don't have a DNS hostname associated with your SIP service).
Set the DBENGINE to be MYSQL and adjust other setting as you want. Finally, uncomment both SIP_DOMAIN and DBENGINE.

In example above, the following values are set for SIP_DOMAIN and DBENGINE

```
SIP_DOMAIN=ims.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org
DBENGINE=MYSQL
```

You can change other values in kamctlrc file. Once you are done updating kamctlrc file, run the script to create the database used by Kamailio:

```
$ kamdbctl create
```

When prompted for mysql root user password enter the root password if its is set or else leave it blank i.e. Press Enter
{: .notice--info}

check database manually;
```
$ mysql
<mysql> show databases;
<mysql> use kamailio;
<mysql> show tables;
<mysql> select * from subscriber;
```

No Subscribers are added yet

The kamdbctl will add two users in MySQL user tables:
```
- kamailio   - (with default password 'kamailiorw') - user which has full access rights to 'kamailio' database
- kamailioro - (with default password 'kamailioro') - user which has read-only access rights to 'kamailio' database
```

#### 9. Edit `/etc/default/rtpproxy` file as follows:

```
# Defaults for rtpproxy

# The control socket.
#CONTROL_SOCK="unix:/var/run/rtpproxy/rtpproxy.sock"
# To listen on an UDP socket, uncomment this line:
#CONTROL_SOCK=udp:127.0.0.1:22222
CONTROL_SOCK=udp:127.0.0.1:7722

# Additional options that are passed to the daemon.
EXTRA_OPTS="-l 172.24.15.30 -d DBUG:LOG_LOCAL0"
```

here, `-l <PUBLIC_IP>`

Then run,

```
$ systemctl restart rtpproxy
```

#### 10. Edit configuration file to fit your requirements for the VoIP platform:

You have to edit the /usr/local/etc/kamailio/kamailio.cfg configuration file.
{: .notice--info}

Follow the instruction in the comments to enable usage of MySQL. Basically you have to add several lines at the top of config file, like:

```
#!define WITH_MYSQL
#!define WITH_AUTH
#!define WITH_USRLOCDB
#!define WITH_NAT

(uncomment this line)
auto_aliases=no

(uncomment this line and enter the DNS domain created above)
alias="ims.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org"

(uncomment this line, 10.4.128.21 is the internal IP and 172.24.15.30 is the Public/Floating IP)
listen=udp:10.4.128.21:5060 advertise 172.24.15.30:5060
listen=tcp:10.4.128.21:5060 advertise 172.24.15.30:5060

(Further down, we will need to modify the rtpproxy_sock value to match the CONTROL_SOCK option we set for RTPProxy in /etc/default/rtpproxy)
modparam("rtpproxy", "rtpproxy_sock", "udp:127.0.0.1:7722")
```

If you changed the password for the 'kamailio' user of MySQL, you have to update the value for 'DBURL' parameters.

#### 11. The `init.d` script

The init.d script can be used to start/stop the Kamailio server in a nicer way. A sample of init.d script for Kamailio is provided at:
```
/usr/local/src/kamailio/pkg/kamailio/deb/debian/kamailio.init
```

Just copy the init file into the /etc/init.d/kamailio. Then change the permissions:

```
$ cp /usr/local/src/kamailio/pkg/kamailio/deb/bionic/kamailio.init /etc/init.d/kamailio
$ chmod 755 /etc/init.d/kamailio
```

Then edit the /etc/init.d/kamailio file updating the $DAEMON and $CFGFILE values:

```
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin
DAEMON=/usr/local/sbin/kamailio
CFGFILE=/usr/local/etc/kamailio/kamailio.cfg
```

You need to setup a configuration file in the /etc/default/ directory. This file can be found at:
```
/usr/local/src/kamailio/pkg/kamailio/deb/bionic/kamailio.default
```

You need to rename the /etc/default/kamailio file to 'kamailio' after you've copied it.
Then edit this file and set RUN_KAMAILIO=yes. Edit the other options as per your setup.

```
$ cp /usr/local/src/kamailio/pkg/kamailio/deb/bionic/kamailio.default /etc/default/kamailio
$ systemctl daemon-reload
```

Create the directory for pid file:

```
$ mkdir -p /var/run/kamailio
```

Default setting is to run Kamailio as user kamailio and group kamailio. For that you need to create the user and set ownership

```
$ adduser --quiet --system --group --disabled-password \
        --shell /bin/false --gecos "Kamailio" \
        --home /var/run/kamailio kamailio
$ chown kamailio:kamailio /var/run/kamailio
```

Then you can start Kamailio using the following commands:

```
$ systemctl start kamailio.service
```

check running processes with: ps axw | egrep kamailio


#### 12. A quick check for the basic working of SIP server can be done as follows:

Create new subscriber accounts. A new account can be added using `kamctl` tool via `kamctl add <username> <password>`
(When asked for entering MySQL password for user `kamailio@localhost`: type `kamailiorw`, as provided in kamailio.cfg)

```
$ kamctl add test testpasswd
$ kamctl add test2 testpasswd
```

Setting on OnePlus phones

- Connect to a network through which SIP server is reachable (either Wi-Fi or LTE)
- Goto phone dialer and select the **Settings** in the menu on top right corner
- Then select **Call settings**
- Configure SIP accounts in phones as added above using kamctl:

In Phone 1:

```
Username: test
Password: testpasswd
Server: ims.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org (Created DNS Domain Name or IP to which IMS components are bound to, visible interface IP address)
Optional Settings:
    Authentication username: test
    Outbound proxy address: 172.24.15.30 (Floating IP of VM in case of OpenStack or else no need to fill in case of physical machine)
    Transport type: UDP
```

In Phone 2:

```
Username: test2
Password: testpasswd
Server: ims.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org (Created DNS Domain Name or IP to which IMS components are bound to, visible interface IP address)
Optional Settings:
    Authentication username: test2
    Outbound proxy address: 172.24.15.30 (Floating IP of VM in case of OpenStack or else no need to fill in case of physical machine)
    Transport type: UDP
```

- Set "Receive incoming calls" option to enabled state in both phones
- Set "Use SIP calling" to "For all calls"
- Add a new contact as follows:

In Phone 1:

Select **more** option

```
Name: SIP Contact test2 (Any arbitary name)
SIP: test2@ims.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org (Created DNS Domain Name or IP to which IMS components are bound to, visible interface IP address)
```

Save and exit

In Phone 2:

Select **more** option

```
Name: SIP Contact test (Any arbitary name)
SIP: test@ims.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org (Created DNS Domain Name or IP to which IMS components are bound to, visible interface IP address)
```

Save and exit

- Now try calling from either phone


Upon completion of this test, set "Receive incoming calls" option to disabled state and set "Use SIP calling" to "Only for SIP calls"
{: .notice--warning}

#### 13. Create new mysql database for pcscf, scscf and icscf, populate databases and grant permissions to respective users identified by a password

```
$ mysql
<mysql> CREATE DATABASE  `pcscf`;
<mysl> CREATE DATABASE  `scscf`;
<mysl> CREATE DATABASE  `icscf`;
```

In all of the below steps, when prompted for mysql root user password, leave it blank i.e. Press Enter

```
$ cd /usr/local/src/kamailio/utils/kamctl/mysql
$ mysql -u root -p pcscf < standard-create.sql
$ mysql -u root -p pcscf < presence-create.sql
$ mysql -u root -p pcscf < ims_usrloc_pcscf-create.sql
$ mysql -u root -p pcscf < ims_dialog-create.sql

$ mysql -u root -p scscf < standard-create.sql
$ mysql -u root -p scscf < presence-create.sql
$ mysql -u root -p scscf < ims_usrloc_scscf-create.sql
$ mysql -u root -p scscf < ims_dialog-create.sql
$ mysql -u root -p scscf < ims_charging-create.sql

$ cd /usr/local/src/kamailio/misc/examples/ims/icscf
$ mysql -u root -p icscf < icscf.sql
```

Verify that following tables are present in respective databases by logging into mysql

```
+-----------------+
| Tables_in_pcscf |
+-----------------+
| active_watchers |
| dialog_in       |
| dialog_out      |
| dialog_vars     |
| location        |
| presentity      |
| pua             |

+---------------------+
| nds_trusted_domains |
| s_cscf              |
| s_cscf_capabilities |
+---------------------+
```

```
<mysql> grant delete,insert,select,update on pcscf.* to pcscf@localhost identified by 'heslo';
<mysql> grant delete,insert,select,update on scscf.* to scscf@localhost identified by 'heslo';
<mysql> grant delete,insert,select,update on icscf.* to icscf@localhost identified by 'heslo';
<mysql> grant delete,insert,select,update on icscf.* to provisioning@localhost identified by 'provi';
<mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON pcscf.* TO 'pcscf'@'%' identified by 'heslo';
<mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON scscf.* TO 'scscf'@'%' identified by 'heslo';
<mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON icscf.* TO 'icscf'@'%' identified by 'heslo';
<mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON icscf.* TO 'provisioning'@'%' identified by 'provi';
<mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
```

Then,

```
$ mysql
<mysql> use icscf;
<mysql> INSERT INTO `nds_trusted_domains` VALUES (1,'ims.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org');
<mysql> INSERT INTO `s_cscf` VALUES (1,'First and only S-CSCF','sip:scscf.ims.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org:6060');
<mysql> INSERT INTO `s_cscf_capabilities` VALUES (1,1,0),(2,1,1);
```

#### 14. Copy pcscf, icscf and scscf configuration files to `/etc` folder and edit accordingly

```
$ cd ~ && git clone https://github.com/herlesupreeth/Kamailio_IMS_Config
$ cd Kamailio_IMS_Config && git checkout 5.3
$ cp -r kamailio_icscf /etc
$ cp -r kamailio_pcscf /etc
$ cp -r kamailio_scscf /etc
```

#### 15. Setup the DNS for resolving IMS  and EPC components names

```
$ apt install -y bind9
```

Use the below example DNS Zone file to create a DNS Zone file into the bind folder and edit `/etc/bind/named.conf.local` and `/etc/bind/named.conf.options` accordingly:

```
$ cd /etc/bind
```

In the below example: Kamailio IMS & DNS server running at 10.4.128.21/172.24.15.30 (Floating IP) and PCRF also at 10.4.128.21/172.24.15.30 (Floating IP)

```
$ cat ims.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org

hss                     1D IN A         10.4.128.21
```

Create another DNS zone for resolving pcrf domain as follows:

```
$ cat epc.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org

$ORIGIN epc.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org.
$TTL 1W
@                       1D IN SOA       localhost. root.localhost. (

                                        3H              ; refresh
                                        15M             ; retry
                                        1W              ; expiry
                                        1D )            ; minimum

                        1D IN NS        epcns
epcns                   1D IN A         10.4.128.21

pcrf                    1D IN A         127.0.0.5
```


Edit `/etc/bind/named.conf.local` file as follows:

```
//
// Do any local configuration here
//

// Consider adding the 1918 zones here, if they are not used in your
// organization
//include "/etc/bind/zones.rfc1918";

zone "ims.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org" {
        type master;
        file "/etc/bind/ims.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org";
};

zone "epc.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org" {
        type master;
        file "/etc/bind/epc.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org";
};
```

Edit `/etc/bind/named.conf.options` file as follows:

```
options {
        directory "/var/cache/bind";

        // If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want
        // to talk to, you may need to fix the firewall to allow multiple
        // ports to talk.  See http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/800113

        // If your ISP provided one or more IP addresses for stable
        // nameservers, you probably want to use them as forwarders.
        // Uncomment the following block, and insert the addresses replacing
        // the all-0's placeholder.

        //forwarders {
        // Put here the IP address of other DNS server which could be used if name cannot be resolved with DNS server running in this machine (Optional)
        //10.4.128.2;
        //};

        //========================================================================
        // If BIND logs error messages about the root key being expired,
        // you will need to update your keys.  See https://www.isc.org/bind-keys
        //========================================================================
        dnssec-validation no;
        allow-query { any; };

        auth-nxdomain no;    # conform to RFC1035
        //listen-on-v6 { any; };
};
```

```
$ systemctl restart bind9
```

Then, test DNS resolution by adding following entries on top of all other entries in /etc/resolv.conf (make sure it persist across reboots)

```
search ims.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org
nameserver 10.4.128.21
```

Finally, ping to ensure

```
$ ping pcscf
PING pcscf.ims.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org (10.4.128.21) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from localhost (10.4.128.21): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.017 ms
64 bytes from localhost (10.4.128.21): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.041 ms
```

To make changes in /etc/resolv.conf be persistent across reboot edit the /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml file as follows:

```
# This file is generated from information provided by
# the datasource.  Changes to it will not persist across an instance.
# To disable cloud-init's network configuration capabilities, write a file
# /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/99-disable-network-config.cfg with the following:
# network: {config: disabled}
network:
    version: 2
    ethernets:
        ens3:
            dhcp4: true
            match:
                macaddress: fa:16:3e:99:f5:67
            set-name: ens3
            nameservers:
                search: [ims.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org,epc.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org]
                addresses:
                      - 10.4.128.21
    version: 2
```

```
$ netplan apply
$ ln -sf /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
$ systemctl restart systemd-resolved.service
```

#### 16. Install RTPEngine

Check for dependencies, install dependencies and build .deb packages

```
$ export DEB_BUILD_PROFILES="pkg.ngcp-rtpengine.nobcg729"
$ apt install dpkg-dev
$ git clone https://github.com/sipwise/rtpengine
$ cd rtpengine && git checkout mr7.4.1
$ dpkg-checkbuilddeps
```
The above command checks for dependencies and give you a list of dependencies which are missing in the system. The below list is the result of this command

```
$ apt install debhelper default-libmysqlclient-dev gperf iptables-dev libavcodec-dev libavfilter-dev libavformat-dev libavutil-dev libbencode-perl libcrypt-openssl-rsa-perl libcrypt-rijndael-perl libdigest-crc-perl libdigest-hmac-perl libevent-dev libhiredis-dev libio-multiplex-perl libio-socket-inet6-perl libiptc-dev libjson-glib-dev libnet-interface-perl libpcap0.8-dev libsocket6-perl libspandsp-dev libswresample-dev libsystemd-dev libxmlrpc-core-c3-dev markdown dkms module-assistant keyutils libnfsidmap2 libtirpc1 nfs-common rpcbind
```

After installing dependencies run the below command again and verify that no dependencies are left out

```
$ dpkg-checkbuilddeps
```

This should just return back to shell with no output if all depedencies are met

```
$ dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us
$ cd ..
$ dpkg -i *.deb
$ cp /etc/rtpengine/rtpengine.sample.conf /etc/rtpengine/rtpengine.conf
```

Edit this file as follows under **[rtpengine]**:

```
interface = 10.4.128.21
```

Port on which rtpengine binds i.e. listen_ng parameter is udp port 2223. This should be updated in `kamailio_pcscf.cfg` file at **modparam(rtpengine ...)**

```
# ----- rtpproxy params -----
modparam("rtpengine", "rtpengine_sock", "1 == udp:localhost:2223")
```

Edit `/etc/default/ngcp-rtpengine-daemon` and `/etc/default/ngcp-rtpengine-recording-daemon` as follows in respective files:
```
RUN_RTPENGINE=yes
```
```
RUN_RTPENGINE_RECORDING=yes
```

```
$ cp /etc/rtpengine/rtpengine-recording.sample.conf /etc/rtpengine/rtpengine-recording.conf
$ mkdir /var/spool/rtpengine
$ systemctl restart ngcp-rtpengine-daemon.service ngcp-rtpengine-recording-daemon.service ngcp-rtpengine-recording-nfs-mount.service
$ systemctl enable ngcp-rtpengine-daemon.service ngcp-rtpengine-recording-daemon.service ngcp-rtpengine-recording-nfs-mount.service

$ systemctl stop rtpproxy
$ systemctl disable rtpproxy
$ systemctl mask rtpproxy
```

Second instance of RTPENGINE can be run as follows (Optional)

```
$ iptables -I rtpengine -p udp -j RTPENGINE --id 1
$ ip6tables -I INPUT -p udp -j RTPENGINE --id 1
$ echo 'del 1' > /proc/rtpengine/control
$ /usr/sbin/rtpengine --table=1 --interface=10.4.128.21 --listen-ng=127.0.0.1:2224 --tos=184 --pidfile=ngcp-rtpengine-daemon2.pid --no-fallback --foreground
```

#### 17. Running I-CSCF, P-CSCF and S-CSCF as separate process

First, stop the default kamailio SIP server

```
$ systemctl stop kamailio
$ systemctl disable kamailio
$ systemctl mask kamailio
```

Run all the process as root and NOT sudo
{: .notice--info}


```
$ mkdir -p /var/run/kamailio_pcscf
$ kamailio -f /etc/kamailio_pcscf/kamailio_pcscf.cfg -P /kamailio_pcscf.pid -DD -E -e
```

```
$ mkdir -p /var/run/kamailio_scscf
$ kamailio -f /etc/kamailio_scscf/kamailio_scscf.cfg -P /kamailio_scscf.pid -DD -E -e
```

```
$ mkdir -p /var/run/kamailio_icscf
$ kamailio -f /etc/kamailio_icscf/kamailio_icscf.cfg -P /kamailio_icscf.pid -DD -E -e
```

#### 18. Install Open5GS in the same machine as Kamailio IMS - Install Open5GS from source

Please refer to instructions at [https://open5gs.org/open5gs/docs/guide/02-building-open5gs-from-sources/](https://open5gs.org/open5gs/docs/guide/02-building-open5gs-from-sources/)

If you are using OpenStack, installing Open5GS and Kamailio IMS on the same machine is very important because the **Framed-IP-Address** in the AAR request via Rx interface takes received IP address and port in ims_qos module, hence, if the Open5GS is on a separate VM/machine, the IP and port received in received_ip and received_port values seen by Kamailio IMS will be the NATed IP of the Open5GS machine resulting in failing of AAR request.
{: .notice--danger}

Modify below mentioned parts of configuration files in addition to **Configure Open5GS** section. For reference, look at the configuration files at [https://github.com/herlesupreeth/Open5gs_Config](https://github.com/herlesupreeth/Open5gs_Config). These configuration only holds for open5gs tag v1.3.0, please tweak configuration files based on the open5gs tag you use.
{: .notice--warning}

- Change realm of components to `epc.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org`
- Define IP pools for APNs used i.e one for default APN and another for IMS apn
- Define P-CSCF address in the pgw configuration
- Define a ConnectPeer for `pcscf.ims.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org` with its IP and port in PCRF freediameter configuration
- Setup IP tables for the UE pools defined and create appropriate tun interfaces

Below startup script can be used for setting up interfaces:

```
#!/bin/bash

sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
sudo sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1

ip tuntap add name ogstun mode tun
ip addr add 192.168.100.1/24 dev ogstun
ip addr add fd84:6aea:c36e:2b69::/48 dev ogstun

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</pre>

Finally, make sure of the following in Open5GS

- PCO options which indicate the address of the Proxy-CSCF
- Need to indicate support for Voice-over-Packet-Switched (VoPS) in NAS message to UE from EPC

  fi
```

```
$ chmod +x configurator.sh
$ ./configurator.sh 
Domain Name:ims.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org
IP Adress:10.4.128.21

$ grep -r "open-ims"
(Change realm name in the below file from open-ims.test to ims.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org)
$ vim webapps/hss.web.console/WEB-INF/web.xml
$ vim hibernate.properties
```
And, change the following line:

```
hibernate.connection.url=jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/hss_db
```

```
$ cp configurator.sh ../scripts/
$ cd ../scripts
$ grep -r "open-ims"
$ ./configurator.sh 
Domain Name:ims.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org
IP Adress:10.4.128.21

Domain Name:ims.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org
IP Adress:10.4.128.21

$ cd ../src-web
$ vim WEB-INF/web.xml
```
And, change open-ims.test to ims.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org

Prepare mysql database:

```
$ mysql
<mysql> drop database hss_db;
<mysql> create database hss_db;
<mysql> quit
```

Import database located at `/opt/OpenIMSCore` into hss_db 
```
$ cd /opt/OpenIMSCore
$ mysql -u root -p hss_db < FHoSS/scripts/hss_db.sql
$ mysql -u root -p hss_db < FHoSS/scripts/userdata.sql
```

Check grants for mysql access rights at first time installation:

```
$ mysql
# See last line in hss_db.sql:
<mysql> grant delete,insert,select,update on hss_db.* to hss@localhost identified by 'hss';
<mysql> grant delete,insert,select,update on hss_db.* to hss@'%' identified by 'hss';
```

Check database if domain names are  o.k. in various entries and privileges
```
$ mysql -u hss -p
<mysql> show databases;
<mysql> use hss_db;
<mysql> select * from impu;
```

Prepare script-file, start HSS

Copy `startup.sh` to `hss.sh` in root directory

```
$ cp /opt/OpenIMSCore/FHoSS/deploy/startup.sh /root/hss.sh
```

And, add the following to `hss.sh` before echo **Building Classpath**

```
cd /opt/OpenIMSCore/FHoSS/deploy
JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_79"
CLASSPATH="/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_79/jre/lib/"
```

Start HSS using `hss.sh`

```
$ ./hss.sh
```

Access the web-interface of HSS: `http://<IMS_VM_FLOATING_IP>:8080/hss.web.console/`

For example, [http://172.24.15.30:8080/hss.web.console/](http://172.24.15.30:8080/hss.web.console/)

```
user:      hssAdmin
password:  hss
```

Then, edit the `/etc/hosts` file as follows:

In the below example. epc-ims is the hostname of the machine

```
root@epc-ims:~# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1    localhost
127.0.0.1    epc-ims
```

#### 20. Add IMS subscription use in FoHSS as follows from the Web GUI

Assuming IMSI of the user as 001010123456791 and MSISDN is 0198765432100

```
Login to the HSS web console.
Navigate to the User Identities page
Create the IMSU 
Click IMS Subscription / Create
Enter:
Name = 001010123456791
Capabilities Set = cap_set1
Preferred S-CSCF = scsf1
Click Save

Create the IMPI and Associate the IMPI to the IMSU
Click Create & Bind new IMPI
Enter:
Identity = 001010123456791@ims.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org
Secret Key = 8baf473f2f8fd09487cccbd7097c6862 (Ki value as in Open5GS HSS database)
Authentication Schemes - All
Default = Digest-AKAv1-MD5
AMF = 8000 (As in Open5GS HSS database)
OP = 11111111111111111111111111111111 (As in Open5GS HSS database)
SQN = 000000021090 (SQN value as in Open5GS HSS database)
Click Save

Create and Associate IMPI to IMPU
Click Create & Bind new IMPU
Enter:
Identity = sip:001010123456791@ims.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org
Barring = Yes
Service Profile = default_sp
Charging-Info Set = default_charging_set
IMPU Type = Public_User_Identity
Click Save

Add Visited Network to IMPU
Enter:
Visited Network = ims.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org
Click Add

Now, goto Public User Identity and create further IMPUs as following

1. tel:0198765432100

Public User Identity -IMPU-
Identity = tel:0198765432100
Service Profile = default_sp
Charging-Info Set = default_charging_set
Can Register = Yes
IMPU Type = Public_User_Identity
Click Save

Add Visited Network to IMPU
Enter:
Visited Network = ims.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org
Click Add

Associate IMPI(s) to IMPU
IMPI Identity = 001010123456791@ims.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org
Click Add

2. sip:0198765432100@ims.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org

Public User Identity -IMPU-
Identity = sip:0198765432100@ims.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org
Service Profile = default_sp
Charging-Info Set = default_charging_set
Can Register = Yes
IMPU Type = Public_User_Identity
Click Save

Add Visited Network to IMPU
Enter:
Visited Network = ims.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org
Click Add

Associate IMPI(s) to IMPU
IMPI Identity = 001010123456791@ims.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org
Click Add

And, finally add these IMPUs as implicit set of IMSI derived IMPU in HSS i.e sip:001010123456791@ims.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org as follows:

1. Goto to IMPU sip:001010123456791@ims.mnc001.mcc001.3gppnetwork.org
2. In "Add IMPU(s) to Implicit-Set" section give IMPU Identity created above to be added to this IMPU
```

#### 21. APN settings

Clear all previous APN settings

Then, create APN as follows:

- First create internet APN, APN name: internet, APN type: default --> Save APN
- Then, create ims APN, APN name: ims, APN type: ims --> Save APN

#### 22. eNB settings

Must have in the eNB:
- Support for QoS
- Support for Dedicated radio bearer creation
- Make sure to check the DRB configuration with respect to QCI of APN accordingly (QCI 5 for ims)

On the eNB machine have the following static routes (since internal IP of the VM is advertised in S1AP messages and UE wont find the core in Uplink)

```
$ ip r add 10.4.128.21/32 via 172.24.15.30
```

#### 23. USIM and UE settings

- Make sure to disable SQN check in Sysmocom SIM cards using sysmo-usim-tool tool [https://github.com/herlesupreeth/sysmo-usim-tool](https://github.com/herlesupreeth/sysmo-usim-tool)
- Tested with OnePlus 5 with following methods (Official Google method is the recommended method to prevent damage to phone)
  - (Official Google method) - Please follow the instructions in the following link [@herlesupreeth/CoIMS_Wiki](https://github.com/herlesupreeth/CoIMS_Wiki) to force enable VoLTE using Carrier Privileges
  - (Risky method) With modfication to enable force IMS registration is a must or else UE will not even attempt to connect to P-CSCF. Need to apply the fix back after each update.  [https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t/how-to/guide-volte-vowifi-german-carriers-t3817542](https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t/how-to/guide-volte-vowifi-german-carriers-t3817542)

#### 24. Start IMS components and FoHSS followed by Open5GS and eNB, then try connecting the phones

#### 25. Test voice call

Assuming IMSI of the user1 as 001010123456791 and MSISDN is 0198765432100 and IMSI of the user2 as 001010123456792 and MSISDN is 0298765432100. Try calling user2 from user1 by dialing its MSISDN ie. 0298765432100

- You can see the sample traffic.  -- [[volte.pcapng]]({{ site.url }}{{ site.baseurl }}/assets/pcapng/volte.pcapng).

#### 26. For debugging

Debug using wireshark at Open5GS machine and following wireshark display filter

```
s1ap || gtpv2 || pfcp || diameter || diameter.3gpp || sip
```

Also,

Debugging Diameter messages between PCRF and P-CSCF in Wireshark if the TCP/SCTP port other than 3868

Open Wireshark --> Preferences --> Protocols --> Diameter --> Change to whatever ports are being used
