Hi all, we have used Asterisk with Standard PRI E1 Connection for some time. Now we have the opportunity to be connected to the PSTN over an SS7 Trunk. The Device to which we will be connected is an Ericsson Axe. I have followed instruction from this source: http://www.cesnet.cz/doc/techzpravy/2006/asterisk-ss7/ More precice i worked through chapter 6 to use the native ss7 capability of Asterisk. So i downloaded, comiled and installed: - libss7-trunk - libpri-trunk - asterisk-trunk I have not used zaptel-trunk since the package gave a warning the it is currently broken, so have have used zaptel-1.4.5.1 In the server is an Digium TE220B. Here is my zaptel configuration: span=1,0,0,ccs,hdb3,crc4 bchan=2-31 dchan=1 loadzone = us defaultzone=us B- and D-channel configuration were communicated by the owner of the ericsson switch. Here is the zapata.conf: signalling=ss7 rxwink=300 usecallerid=yes hidecallerid=no callwaiting=yes usecallingpres=yes callwaitingcallerid=yes transfer=yes canpark=yes cancallforward=yes callreturn=yes echocancel=yes echocancelwhenbridged=yes rxgain=0.0 txgain=0.0 group=1 callgroup=1 pickupgroup=1 immediate=no ; ---------------- Options for use with signalling=ss7 ----------------- ; Variant of SS7 signaling: ; Options are itu and ansi ss7type = itu ; SS7 Called Nature of Address Indicator ; ; unknown: Unknown ; subscriber: Subscriber ; national: National ; international: International ; dynamic: Dynamically selects the appropriate dialplan ; ss7_called_nai=dynamic ; ; SS7 Calling Nature of Address Indicator ; ; unknown: Unknown ; subscriber: Subscriber ; national: National ; international: International ; dynamic: Dynamically selects the appropriate dialplan ; ss7_calling_nai=dynamic ; ; ; sample 1 for Germany ;ss7_internationalprefix = 00 ;ss7_nationalprefix = 0 ;ss7_subscriberprefix = ;ss7_unknownprefix = ; ; All settings apply to linkset 1 linkset = 1 ; Point code of the linkset.

My provider for SS7 connection claims that on his side everthing is up and running. According to the information i gave above, can anybody give me a hint, where to look for an error. I further information are required please send me an email and i will try to provide them. Thanks in advance.
