Hi!
I'm new in this list, I was "invited" by Kaloyan to post there in case
of some questions or problems regarding the improved SS7 support in
chan_dahdi.
My first finding is, that now I can't bring MTP3 up. It seems, that the
MTP3 layer now relies on receiving the TRA message to proceed with
initialization. However, in our national SS7 network, these messages
are not used. Sending successful SLTM/SLTA both ways is enough to
initialize the linkset.
I'm trying to establish a direct linkset to EWSD (no STPs between). AFAIK,
EWSD with Czech national SS7 doesn't send TRA messages and doesn't require
their receipt. I know EWSD reasonably well and I don't know any method, how
to force it to send TRAs.
EWSD sees the linkset as up and tries to send GRS on ISUP, which is
refused by Asterisk, because its MTP3 is still marked as down.
Some diagnostics:

You can see ACT under OST in the linkset display, which means "Active".
