> I have received many requests lately for a more current document
> describing how to setup Asterisk with SS7 support.  The following email
> will hopefully suffice.  The contents of this are also contained in the
> README file in libss7 as well as inside Asterisk-trunk in the
> doc/ss7.txt file.
>
> To Use:
> =======
> In order to use libss7, you must get at least the following versions of
> Zaptel, libss7, and Asterisk (you might also want to get libpri):
> Zaptel: 1.4.x
> Asterisk: trunk
> libss7: trunk (currently, there *only* is a trunk release).
>
> You must then do a `make; make install` in each of the directories that
> you installed in the given order (Zaptel first, libss7 second, and
> Asterisk last).
>
> NOTE: In order to check out the code, you must have the subversion
> client installed.  This is how to check them out from the public
> subversion server.
>
> These are the commands you would type to install them:
>
> `svn co http://svn.digium.com/svn/zaptel/branches/1.4 zaptel-1.4`
> `cd zaptel-1.4`
> `make; make install`
>
> `svn co http://svn.digium.com/svn/libss7/trunk libss7-trunk`
> `cd libss7-trunk`
> `make; make install`
>
> `svn co http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/trunk asterisk-trunk`
> `cd asterisk-trunk`
> `./configure; make; make install;`
>
> This should build Zaptel, libss7, and Asterisk with SS7 support.
>
> In the past, there was a special asterisk-ss7 branch to use which
> contained the SS7 code. That code has been merged back into the trunk
> version of Asterisk, and the old asterisk-ss7 branch has been deprecated
> and removed.  If you are still using the asterisk-ss7 branch, it will
> not work against the current version of libss7, and you should switch to
> asterisk-trunk instead.
>
> CONFIGURATION:
> In zaptel.conf, your signalling channel(s) should be a "dchan" and your
> bearers should be set as "bchan".
>
> In the asterisk-ss7 branch, there is a sample zapata.conf that is
> installed which contains sample configuration for setting up an E1 link.
>
> In brief, here is a simple ss7 linkset setup:
>
> signalling = ss7
> ss7type = itu           ; or ansi if you are using an ANSI link
>
> linkset = 1             ; Pick a number for your linkset identifier in
> 			; zapata.conf
>
> pointcode = 28          ; The decimal form of your point code.  If you
> 			; are using an
>                         ; ANSI linkset, you can use the xxx-xxx-xxx
> notation for
>                         ; specifying your linkset pointcode.
> adjpointcode = 2        ; The point code of the switch adjacent to your
> 			; linkset
>
> defaultdpc = 3          ; The point code of the switch you want to send
> 			; your ISUP
>                         ; traffic to.  A lot of the time, this is the
> 			; same as your
>                         ; adjpointcode.
>
> ; Now we configure our Bearer channels (CICs)
>
> cicbeginswith = 1       ; Number to start counting the CICs from.  So if
> 			; Zap/1 to Zap/15 are CICs 1-15, you would set
> 			; this to 1 before you
>                         ; declare channel=1-15
>
> channel=1-15            ; Use Zap/1-15 and assign them to CICs 1-15
>
> cicbeginswith = 17      ; Now for Zap/17 to Zap/31, they are CICs 17-31
> 			; so we initialize
>                         ; cicbeginswith to 17 before we declare those
> 			; channels
>
> channel = 17-31         ; This assigns CICs 17-31 to channels 17-31

> signchan = 16           ; This is where you declare which Zap channel is
> 			; your signalling
>                         ; channel.  In our case it is Zap/16.  You can

> 			; sigchan= lines.
>
> ; If we want an alternate redundant signalling channel add this
>
> sigchan = 48            ; This would put two signalling channels
> in our 				; linkset, one at Zap/16 and one at Zap/48 which

>                         ; ISUP traffic.

> This is how a basic linkset is setup.  For more detailed zapata.conf SS7
