Some Channels are Blocked with remote maintanence

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:

As far as I am aware, there is no way to disable the optionals in chan_ss7.

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.
