[asterisk-ss7] chan_ss7 1.0.9 "combined" example

[Antoine Megalla]

Hi,

I have a server running chan_ss7 1.0.9 and it has been
solid for the last 3 
weeks, I have to admit that version 1.0.9 is the most
stable chan_ss7 
release I have tried so far.

The current server has 4 E1s configured into 2
linksets, and every linkset 
has it's own signaling channel.
I intend to add a second server to the configuration
running another 4 E1s, 
however the new server much share the signaling
channels with the current 
server.

To my understanding this (sharing signaling channels
across several asterisk 
servers) can be done in chan_ss7 1.0.9 however I have
not seen an example of 
such configuration.
Also to my understanding the sharing of signaling
across severs needs the 
MTP3d daemon to run of specific TCP port on one
server, I do not know of a 
configuration file where I can specify the port for
the MTP3d to listen on.

So assuming that I have 2 asterisk servers, one with 2
signaling links, and 
the second server should share the 2 signaling links
of the first server 
what should I write in the ss7.conf file, and how can
specify which port the 
mpt3d is listening on?

should it something like that:

I feel there is something wrong in the above, or that
there is something 
missing or ambiguous, can someone please help me with
the configuration of 
such setting.

your help is much appreciated,

Thank you and best regards,

Antoine Megalla.
