I have the exact same condition with chan_ss7 on Asterisk 1.4 and Asterisk 1.8 and can confirm that I've run all versions of chan_ss7 from 1.3 up to 2.1.0 (2.1.0 on Asterisk 1.8 and the previous versions on Asterisk 1.4). The remote end is, to the best of my knowledge, a Siemens EWSD. The following feedback was provided by the remote carrier and may prove useful in explaining the problem: SWTNRB 26 1-26 TRUNK BW 0-24 2-26 IDLE SWTNRB 27 1-27 TRUNK BW 0-24 2-27 INC & FRCD & IALM SWTNRB 28 1-28 TRUNK BW 0-24 2-28 IDLE SWTNRB 29 1-29 TRUNK BW 0-24 2-29 INC & FRCD & IALM SWTNRB 30 1-30 TRUNK BW 0-24 2-30 IDLE With the IALM condition is caused by "end of optional parameter in the wrong place". If you should see in the attachment I have highlighted the REL and RLC message from your nodes. Both of these have the optional parameter "indicated". If it is possible can you please set optional parameters OFF ( parameter indicator =0) for These two messages. If you can let me know so that we can reset the circuits as we have done previously. They also provided the following: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Octet001 ITU-T SS7 Count=000001 Time=08/22/2011 13:21:14:023 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10010010 BIB/BSN (146) 1/18 11111001 FIB/FSN (249) 1/121 ..001110 SU type/length (14) MSU14 00......

Interestingly, the is not on all REL and RLC messages, only some of them. I guess it's time to look through the source code, but this hasn't proven terribly problematic for me thus far because it's only a few random CICs that block in that state. It seems the remote end does eventually remove the admin block by itself after a certain amount of time, but restarting asterisk or chan_ss7 won't help. Usually I just get the guys on the remote end to manually clear the condition.
