You are setting your zap channel that you are using as your signalling 
channel as a bearer channel.

This should probably be

cicbeginswith=1
channel=1-15,17-31

or (if you are supposed to leave out a CIC for Zap/16

cicbeginswith=1
channel=1-15
cicbeginswith=17
channel=17-31

If it still doesn't work, you can try using the `ss7 debug linkset x` 
command to see if it gives you more useful output.
