Hi All, Having a troubles interconnecting via libss7. I would love to use the chan_ss7 driver, but, as soon it doesn't support a-link, had to switch to libss7. Since my last post http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-ss7/2007-May/001284.html ,problem was solved and the box is working with no interrupts at all, customer even forgot what equipment does he has :-). Components are used: Asterisk 1.6.0.b7.1 libss7-trunk zaptel 1.4.7.1 patched for tor3e cards The target is to connect two different vendors, lets say first "east", second "west". Both are using a-links, both connections have 4E1, so, "east" is patched at card 1, therefore "west" to card 2. Both vendors are suppl by our the only one OPC. Here are outputs: ********************************* lspci -v 06:01.0 Bridge: PLX Technology, Inc.: Unknown device 4000 (rev 01) Subsystem: PLX Technology, Inc.: Unknown device 9030 Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 225 Memory at fdff0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128] I/O ports at 5000 [size=128] Memory at fdfe0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K] Memory at fdfd0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 1 Capabilities: [48] #06 [0000] Capabilities: [4c] Vital Product Data 06:02.0 Bridge: PLX Technology, Inc.: Unknown device 4000 (rev 01) Subsystem: PLX Technology, Inc.: Unknown device 9030 Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 233 Memory at fdfc0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128] I/O ports at 5080 [size=128] Memory at fdfb0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K] Memory at fdfa0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2K] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 1 Capabilities: [48] #06 [0000] Capabilities: [4c] Vital Product Data ******************************** cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3 0: 4067498 4069784 4069795 4069751 IO-APIC-edge timer 1: 2 3 2 2 IO-APIC-edge i8042 8: 1 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge rtc 9: 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-level acpi 12: 0 7 13 46 IO-APIC-edge i8042 14: 188 72712 72431 489 IO-APIC-edge ide0 169: 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-level uhci_hcd, uhci_hcd 177: 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-level uhci_hcd 185: 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-level uhci_hcd 193: 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-level ehci_hcd 201: 53413 0 4 8 IO-APIC-level eth0 217: 8979 1974 2444 8069 IO-APIC-level cciss0 225: 7041563 757525 230056 7655588 IO-APIC-level tor3e 233: 1700415 1510306 2281990 2037810 IO-APIC-level tor3e NMI: 0 0 0 0 LOC: 16189329 16189397 16183755 16183754 ERR: 0 MIS: 0 ********************************** ztcfg -v ;
