Hi,
We need assistance aligning 8 E1 ports (2x Digium Quad Span TE410P) with our
TELCO.
We are working on a relatively big SS7 deployment for some time now. We are
using:
asterisk-1.8.2.1
asterisk-addons-1.6.2.
dahdi-linux-complete-2.4.0+2.4.0
libss7-1.0.2
So far, we think that we should start sending and receiving SIO messages to
establish a layer 2 connection.
We currently have just two E1 ports connected to our TELCO. Layer 1 looks
good so far. We have both cards OK and neither the TELCO nor our server
report any alarms.
T4XXP (PCI) Card 1 Span 1 OK 0 0 0 CCS
HDB3 0 db (CSU)/0-133 feet (DSX-1)
T4XXP (PCI) Card 1 Span 2 OK 0 0 0 CCS
HDB3 0 db (CSU)/0-133 feet (DSX-1)
We are having problems to pass by the NOTALIGNED STATE.
The carrier asked us to configure the last channel as the D channel on both
spans (31, or 155 and 186 in our case).
Here is an extract of "lsdahdi"
### Span 5: TE4/1/1 "T4XXP (PCI) Card 1 Span 1" (MASTER) HDB3/CCS
...
155 PRI MTP2 (In use) (SWEC: MG2)
### Span 6: TE4/1/2 "T4XXP (PCI) Card 1 Span 2" HDB3/CCS
186 PRI MTP2 (In use) (SWEC: MG2)
We can see upon load of the chan_dahdi.so the modules get loaded and the
channels are registered as SS7 signaling.
-- Registered channel 125, SS7 signalling
-- Registered channel 125, SS7 signalling
-- Registered channel 126, SS7 signalling
We run a ss7 set debug on linktest 1 and we see SIO messages going out ( at
least I see > ) If this angle bracket doesn?t mean "out" please someone
correct me.
We don?t seem to have any SIO back, so we get stuck at this point where the
T2 timer expires we go back to IDLE.

Compiling dahdi_pcap helped us a lot. Can some one please confirm from the 2
packet captures below, if the SIO and SIOS messages are incoming, as I see
from the "Point-to-Point Direction: Received (1)" lines?:

Attached you will find system.conf, chan_dahdi.conf and dahdi_channels.conf,
please if you have any insights what can be going on on these regards, what
can we change, or what can be logged for further analysis, it would be very
much appreciated.
Also, can somebody explain what these messages in /var/log/messages mean?

And this from /var/log/asterisk?:

Thank you very much in advance,
