[asterisk-ss7] Nature of Address chan_SS7

[florian at gruendler.net]

Wasim and general audience,

 

I felt addressed in your post and I react before I get bashed and a policy
discussion starts over my statement. I give in to the point that this list
is probably the only good forum at the moment for Asterisk and SS7 related
topics and all flavors of software should be welcome. But I stick to the
point that I suggested Raul to go to “his” development sponsor with the
specific question. 

 

In an open source development model the author of code wants it to be public
and there is no stealing of ideas. Open source is about providing the source
of software for public use, review and enhancement, but not about having the
right for anyone to get support for no money and take a free ride to realize
low cost commercial offers “just because you can”. The total cost of
ownership of open source software mainly consists of external support
efforts or at least of having knowledgeable people on the payroll. Privatize
profits with offering based on free stuff and socialize cost for support is
absolutely not on the agenda of open source software because it would mean
that people working in the industry have an empty fridge.

 

Rauls question was VERY specific on a chan_ss7 parameter and its internal
crunching logic. He should get paid vendor support or trust on the vendor
goodwill to dedicate time of subsidized people to the list, which Digium
COULD do here from hardware sales profits but other software-only shops are
a bit out of luck. I haven’t really seen any Digium staff giving replies
here so apparently the don’t want to go down that road to push “SS7 at
home”. Digium is probably commercially better off to dedicate their SS7
resources to paying OEM customers like Sysmaster. 

 

Are we now all friends again?

 

So long, Florian

AFAIK, asterisk-ss7 has had discussions on all SS7 options for asterisk
including libISUP, lib_ss7, chan_ss7, ss7box, SMG etc ...

 

Has the list policy changed to be solely lib_ss7?

Raul,

 

You are on the wrong channel with this question. You question is not
Asterisk related, much less lib_ss7 related. You ought to ask to the people
behind chan_ss7. It may be okay to discuss a general mobility topic on a BMW
list, but you aren’t getting much cheers if you discuss your Mercedes
problem on the BMW list despite the fact that both are cars.

 

Regards, Florian

 

PS: If you are a telco and you have local customers being switched to
another local customer (=physically connected to the same PBX), you
automatically have a dedicated exchange for that and a separate
trunk/linkset for non-local calls being sent off to your national or
international exchange. Nobody would want what you want anyway so what are
you trying to do here? Is this just an academic lab question or why does
your network planning require this?

Hello list,

I have an issue with chan_ss7. My current configuration only support
national calls or local calls; (I can switch changing the parameter noa from
linkset). 
Is there a way to work with both of them?

Here you are my configuration:

[linkset-siuc]
enabled => yes
enable_st => no
;use_connect => yes
use_connect => no; When use_connect = yes; There is no ringback in SS7 ->
SIP
hunting_policy => even_mru
context => ss7
language => da
t35 => 15000,timeout
subservice => auto
variant => ITU
noa => 0x1; (0x1 => for local calls and 0x2 for national calls)

[link-l1]
linkset => siuc
channels => 1-15,17-31
schannel => 16
firstcic => 1
enabled => yes
sltm => no


[host-mihost]
enabled => yes
opc => 0x391
dpc => siuc:012
links => l1:1                         ;span 1 of dahdi/system.conf
globaltitle => 0x00, 0x00, 0x01, 114509090
ssn => 7

Best Regards

Raúl
