Next step is to get working TM500 configuration. gNB configuration. What's difference. Test each component or move on from configuration that was successful (Step 0 - go back to last working good test configuration and repeat it) OAI gNB with TM500 OSC gNB configurtion.

         4. 01-09 Would like Sridhar Rao to be invited to March F2F OSFG/OSC sessions. He will need a visa so we need to start this soon.
      3. INT - bimo fransiscus asisi 
         1. 01-09: Ray-Guang Cheng: Problem with integrated O-DU not communicating with TM-500. David Kinsey [AT&T]:Need project help to debug. RSAC to help do incremental builds to identify when disconnect occurs: 1) ODULOW → TM500 2) xFAPI->ODULOW→TM500 5) ODUHIGH->xFAPI->ODULOW→TM500. Need to isolate since all three components indicate they don't have a defect but integrated build doesn't work.

      3. During breaks there were 11 demos and poster presentations but the presentation space was quite crowded.
      4. They had one called 5G MAG with the same problems as us with young models and SDO license. For them they found a way to inject the material at runtime.

      3. We need to find a way to get our software "Trusted"
      4. OSM wants to move from NFV model to an intent based, declarative approach

      3. During breaks there were 11 demos and poster presentations but the presentation space was quite crowded.
      4. They had one called 5G MAG with the same problems as us with young models and SDO license. For them they found a way to inject the material at runtime.
