[Asterisk-biz] E1 with SS7 signaling

[Christian Savinovich]

 Francisco:

  Can you help me understand this :) ?.

  I am used to think one port with 24/30 channels, maybe one port doing signaling (E1).   That's the way the Digium port will work.   How does that differs from the SS7 port level, are they receiving the same number of channels? Is it like channel 16 (on an E1) sends the messaging to an out of band channel on the SS7 port, and if so, what channel is that? if there are 30 channels on the digium port, will the SS7 port handle 30 conversations?
I keep thinking one Digium port to one SS7 port, since that's all I need.  And finally, are all SS7 ports compatible?, or are there "implementations"?, if so, how the heck am I going to know if what I am paying for will work?

 Thanks a lot

SS7 is a complex stack involving many layers (MTP 1-3, SCCP,TCAP, ISUP).
I think you're talking about SSP and SCP.In SS7, one or more channels in one or more E1s transport the signaling between a SSP(Service Switching Point) and a SCP (Service Control Point). With only one channel between an SCP and a SSP, an SCP can signal a huge amount of calls to the SSP.

What people usually talks about when talking about SS7 is ISUP, which is somewhat like "EuroISDN". Then, when people here talks about "sending calls over SS7", they really mean "sending calls over ISUP".

It is my understanding that you DO NOT send calls over SS7 you only  
signal with it.. and a few channels on an E1 can signal many calls a  
second.

Maybe with 24 E1s you can afford a small SSP ... SS7 licenses for

The Honduras telephone company, Hondutel, will supply E1 circuits  
with SS7 signaling only (no PRI, no R2, nothing but SS7).  The SS7  
is on a separate circuit (I assume V.35).

We would like to interface Hondutel with one or more Asterisk  
systems--we want Asterisk to be the bridge between Hondutel and  
VoIP services.  Initially we'll have one E1 for a proof of concept  
trial.  If successful the project will immediately grow to ~24 E1  
circuits.

The problem is finding an inexpensive interface with the E1/SS7  
circuit that will interoperate with Hondutel.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
