Hi, I suppose you would use just normal ISUP to do the call via GMSC. To act as a VMSC is a completely different thing and would not be possible to accomplish on an asterisk without extensive development in which case you would also need MAP handling. /Sverker From: asterisk-ss7-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:asterisk-ss7-bounces at lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of mosbah abdelkader Sent: den 8 februari 2011 12:15 To: asterisk-ss7 at lists.digium.com Subject: Using libss7 to connect to an GMSC or STP Hi, As I understand, libss7 implements MTP and ISUP protocols over DAHDI compatible hardware. I need to establish a call from Asterisk to a GSM subscriber by initiating a call directly over the GMSC or STP that connects to MSC of the subscriber. Here, I suppose that Asterisk acts as a VMSC in the telco carrier of the subscriber. For signaling part of the call, I suppose that MAP protocol will be used first to get some information about the subscriber and then ISUP will be used to initiate the call. For voice part, DAHDI hardware will be used to carry the data. My questions are: 1- Are the information above correct? 2- Can libss7 be used for ISUP and voice part of my project? 3- Is there any information regarding connecting Asterisk to a GMSC or STP? Please help. -- BR Abdelkader Mosbah. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
