Help with SS7 (No Audio)

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

 



Thank you guys for your insightful responses.

My issue was indeed CIC mapping. It turns out that only the 1st E1 was
enabled, after disabling all others and making sure E1 #1 is in the
1st slot, It worked like magic. I had gotten so dirsturbed, was about
to insist they give me ISDN (PRI) lines (yet they only use ss7)..lol

Anyway, thank you! I am now continuing with more stress testing. I
have 8 E1s, 4 in each box, had wanted to do fail over using chan_ss7
but chan_ss7 didnt work for me. Thats what am now gonna try out again.

Kind Regards,
Tim
