Hello. It seems that there are quite a few people who want to use chan_ss7 in the US. I wrote this before - but the SS7 version used in the US is the ANSI version which is quite different on many protocol levels from the (European / rest of the world) ITU version. Chan_ss7 is currently only implemented for the ITU version. You can get it to work on a T1 (1.544 Mbit/s) trunk between two Asterisk / chan_ss7 machines but not with any other live equipment. Not even a simple audio channel since the US uses uLaw audio compression and chan_ss7 is hardcoded to aLaw compression. It is quite a big undertaking to create an ANSI compatible version of the current chan_ss7 and then add other protocol layers which are used quite often in the US like SCCP etc. Sorry folks - but chan_ss7 currently only works in a ITU / E1 enviroment.

My issue really is that I need to see the different levels of SS7 be laid out like: > TCAP: local databse > SCCP: remote SS7 database > ISUP: Circuit info > MTP3: GateWay for services > In some Configuation file to interface with Asterisk. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Tom Chandler [mailto:tchandle@xxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Thu 3/30/2006 11:50 AM > To: asterisk-ss7@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Cc: > Subject: [asterisk-ss7] Chan_ss7.so > > > I have got chan_ss7.so (8.3) running on two Asterisk 1.2.4 servers back to back with T1.5 connection between them. > > I can complete calls in both directions between the two switches, so I believe that SS7 is working. > > I would like to extend the package,however before I work on it, questions: > > 1.
