Tormenta TOR3 card Asterisk chan_ss7 problem. SS7 link is flupping, Need help!!! I was trying to interconnect with several providers, the result was the same. The link is going up for a several seconds, then failed with strings bellow. The channel was compiled without errors and asterisk has started with no warnings. Asterisk-1.2.18, chan_ss7 - 0.9 , chan_oh323, CentOS4.4 2.6.9-48.ELsmp, the zaptel tor3e driver was pulled from http://www.govarion.com/tor3/, the server is dual Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.06GHz stepping 09(hyperthreading on). This issue is quite close to http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-ss7/2006-July/000410.html and http://www.asteriskguru.com/tutorials/pci_irq_apic_tdm_ticks_te410p_te405p_noise.html I was explored through all and still have the same result. Getting this error while trying to connect to the provider (DMS switch). the ss7 link status dives: linkset testlink, link l1, schannel 16, INSERVICE, rx: 5, tx: 3/3, sentseq/lastack: 3/3, total 33458560, 33458624 May 30 16:48:13 WARNING[12951]: l4isup.c:2284 process_circuit_message: Group reset still in progress for CIC=1, typ=UBL message discarded.

Or shell I migrate to the native asterisk SS7? I'll appreciate any help. ___________________________________________________________ Inbox full of unwanted email?
