[asterisk-ss7] has anyone connected chan_ss7 with Siemens V16?

[umar tarar]

well finally we made it. thanx to the Kristian's hint & the 'ss7 reset'
command, i modified the mtp.c a little to circumvent chan_ss7 to not to wait
for SLTA after sending an SLTM rather modified it in a way that it feels to
be receiving an SLTA right after sending sending an SLTM, moreover i
commented the line 'mtp3_link_fail(m);' that actually is executed to change
the link-state to DOWN when the two tries & the Q.707 timer T1 (to wait to
receive an SLTA) gets expired, so removing this statement eventually
prevented the link from going DOWN. one

then the 2nd prob was this:
Dec 16 01:10:25 WARNING[4904]: chan_ss7.c:2291 process_circuit_message:
Group reset still in progress for CIC=3, typ=IAM message discarded.

i.e. every message was being discarded, now the solution was lying in
issueing & successfully executing a group reset command(to reset all
channels) . The other side (EWSD) tech person was not able to issue such
command for the link b/w we two(the reason i m not sure abt), but we do had
a CLI cmd for this i.e. 'ss7 reset', but this cmd never runs successfully
(rather it crashes the Asterisk) when executed on a Blocked DOWNed Link
(this is my experience for all the way last three months) & the link was
blocked & DOWNed because of the above described reason (SLTA timeout). So
basically preventing the link from going DOWN (by fixing SLTA prob) allowed
the successful execution of 'ss7 reset' & that finally turned the channels'
status as 'idle' i.e. ready to receive/place calls

thanx to everyone for help
regards
