Never mind. I should use "cicbeginswith" not "cicbeginswitch" and "sigchan" not "signchan" in the zapata.conf. Loopback between port 1 and 2 works now.

TE207P has two ports and I have a telco cross over cable connected between port 1 and port 2. "zap show status" indicates that both the ports are OK.Description Alarms IRQ bpviol CRC4 Fra Codi Options LBOT2XXP (PCI) Card 0 Span 1 OK 0 0 0 CCS HDB3 YEL 0 db (CSU)/0-133 feet (DSX-1)T2XXP (PCI) Card 0 Span 2 OK 0 0 0 CCS HDB3 YEL 0 db (CSU)/0-133 feet (DSX-1)zaptel.conf span=1,1,0,ccs,hdb3bchan=1-15,17-31dchan=16span=2,0,0,ccs,hdb3bchan=32-46,48-62dchan=47 zapata.conf [trunkgroups][channels]group=1signalling=ss7ss7type = itucontext=from-outsidelinkset = 1pointcode = 1adjpointcode =2defaultdpc = 2networkindicator=internationalcicbeginswitch = 1channel => 1-15cicbeginswitch = 17channel => 17-31signchan = 16 ; End of port 1 config linkset=2group =2signalling =ss7ss7type = itucontext =from-outsidepointcode = 2adjpointcode = 1defaultdpc = 1networkindicator=internationalcicbeginswitch = 1channel = 32-46cicbeginswitch = 17channel = 48-62signchan = 47 ; End of port 2 config When I call 201, from a SIP phone, it should go out using zap/g1, port 1 and get looped back by the loopback cable and should come back to Asterisk through port 2.

What am I doing wrong? BTW, I successfully tested SS7 calls to and from an SS7 simulator using port 1. thanks, RD With Windows Live for mobile, your contacts travel with you.
