Help with SS7 (No Audio)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



On ISUP each channel is identified by a number called CIC, and the assignation
CIC <-> E1 timeslot is arbitrary. Your CIC 3 can as easily be channel 3 of your
first E1 as channel 27 of your 2nd E1 (I think it could even be a copper line or
a RTP stream, but let?s not go there)

If you establish a call on CIC 3 and you believe CIC 3 is the channel 3 of your
first E1 and the other side believes it?s the channel 4 of that same E1, you'll
get silence.

An easy test to see if there is a problem with the CICs is making several calls
at once. If you get audio, but from the wrong person it's surely a CIC mismatch,
and you can easily discover the right config.

Say that you do the calls:

A -> B, CIC 2
C -> D, CIC 3
E -> F, CIC 4

and when the calls are connected A is talking to B, that means that the channel
you believe to be CIC 2 is really CIC 3 (That would be the outcome if the other
side numbers the CIC from 1 as somebody suggested)
