Fwd: [asterisk-ss7] libss7 link quality troubles

Matt,
     What would be if we have a lot of Bad FCS or Abort HDLC ? It means that
the message sent by the Telco are discarded ?

And, can it happen when the messages are sent from our server towards the
Telco, happen this kind of error and we are not seen ?

I have experienced with chan_ss7 that there are a lot of malformed messages
in the incoming and in the outgoing to Telco, so this cause the link goes
down because of too much bit error rate.

Yeah, I have a script called reasterisk:

#!/bin/bash
export PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin
asterisk -r -x "stop when convenient"
rmmod wct4xxp
rmmod zaptel
modprobe wct4xxp
ztcfg -v
nice --1 open -c 10 -- asterisk -vc

It takes care of everything.

I got chan_ss7 working ok, but with frequent CRC/frame too short errors.
I'm using a Version 9 TDM405P, I can't ship it back to USA as it's in
production for the other 2 spans.
