This is true. chan_ss7 may initiate an outgoing call on a CIC thiat is blocked for local maintenance. chan_ss7 will not initiate calls on CICs that are hardware blocked or that are blocked for remote maintenance. The next version of chan_ss7 will have an option for the CLI block and unblock commands that state whether chan_ss7 may initiate calls on CIC that are blocked for local maintenance. This will ease maintenance operations. Best regards Anders Baekgaard
