Hi Srinam, first of all this a newbie's reply not an expert's expert reply; 1. Is ss7 just like a PRI cable ? or is it a V.35 like cable that acts as ss7 signalling ? do i need anything in addition to TE420P ? Yes, it's just a PRI/E1 cable 2. how do i do the actual connectivity ? It depends on to what you are getting connect, if you are connecting to a network: use 1-2 & 4-5 pins if you are connecting to another pbx: use 1-4 & 2-5 pins Sriram a ?crit : > Hi Experts > > First of all apologies for my ignorance about ss7 as i am new to it > ..I provide some premium voice service to telcos, earlier i used to > work with PRIs and dialogic card, asterisk fascinated me when i had a > look at it..my provider says he'll provide me a ss7 link now - in > dialogic world this means i need a septel card (quite expensive).. > > i bought a TE420P and played with it using PRIs and SIP extensions...i > read that this card supports ss7 ...my questions - (please forgive me > if they sound silly !) > > 1.
