Hi, I'm sort of stuck on getting this ss7 link up and running. All I know about the switch i'm trying to connect to is that it's an Ericsson over E1 and what the opc/dpc are. I'm using a Sangoma A101, but as far as I can tell, it's up and running correctly. In ss7linktest it goes so far as to say --SS7 up--, but then it keeps trying to resend messages Here is the output of my ss7linktest : ./ss7linktest 16 itu 232 1000 Starting link 1 Link state change: IDLE -> NOTALIGNED Len = 4 [ ff ff 01 00 ] FSN: 127 FIB 1 BSN: 127 BIB 1 >[0] LSSU SIO Len = 4 [ ff ff 01 00 ] FSN: 127 FIB 1 BSN: 127 BIB 1 <[0] LSSU SIO Link state change: NOTALIGNED -> ALIGNED Len = 4 [ ff ff 01 02 ] FSN: 127 FIB 1 BSN: 127 BIB 1 >[0] LSSU SIE Len = 4 [ ff ff 01 02 ] FSN: 127 FIB 1 BSN: 127 BIB 1 <[0] LSSU SIE Link state change: ALIGNED -> PROVING Len = 3 [ ff ff 00 ] FSN: 127 FIB 1 BSN: 127 BIB 1 <[0] FISU Link state change: PROVING -> ALIGNEDREADY Len = 25 [ ff 80 16 c1 e8 00 fa 00 11 f0 aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa ] FSN: 0 FIB 1 BSN: 127 BIB 1 <[0] MSU [ ff 80 16 ] Network Indicator: 3 Priority: 0 User Part: STD_TEST (1) [ c1 ] OPC 1000 DPC 232 SLS 0 [ e8 00 fa 00 ] H0: 1 H1: 1 [ 11 ] Link state change: ALIGNEDREADY -> INSERVICE Len = 25 [ 80 80 16 c1 e8 03 3a 00 21 f0 aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa ] FSN: 0 FIB 1 BSN: 0 BIB 1 >[0] MSU [ 80 80 16 ] Network Indicator: 3 Priority: 0 User Part: STD_TEST (1) [ c1 ] OPC 232 DPC 1000 SLS 0 [ e8 03 3a 00 ] H0: 1 H1: 2 [ 21 ] [0] MTP2 link up [0] --- SS7 Up --- Len = 9 [ 80 81 06 c0 e8 03 3a 00 17 ] FSN: 1 FIB 1 BSN: 0 BIB 1 >[0] MSU [ 80 81 06 ] Network Indicator: 3 Priority: 0 User Part: NET_MNG (0) [ c0 ] OPC 232 DPC 1000 SLS 0 [ e8 03 3a 00 ] H0: 7 H1: 1 Message type: TRA [ 17 ] Len = 20 [ 80 82 11 c1 e8 03 3a 00 11 a0 32 35 36 34 32 38 36 32 38 38 ] FSN: 2 FIB 1 BSN: 0 BIB 1 >[0] MSU [ 80 82 11 ] Network Indicator: 3 Priority: 0 User Part: STD_TEST (1) [ c1 ] OPC 232 DPC 1000 SLS 0 [ e8 03 3a 00 ] H0: 1 H1: 1 [ 11 ] Len = 14 [ 80 83 0b c5 e8 03 3a 10 01 00 17 01 01 17 ] FSN: 3 FIB 1 BSN: 0 BIB 1 >[0] MSU [ 80 83 0b ] Network Indicator: 3 Priority: 0 User Part: ISUP (5) [ c5 ] OPC 232 DPC 1000 SLS 1 [ e8 03 3a 10 ] CIC: 1 [ 01 00 ] Message Type: GRS [ 17 ] --VARIABLE LENGTH PARMS[1]-- Range and status: Range: 23 [ 01 17 ] Got retransmission request sequence numbers greater than 127.
