Hi,
 unfortunately in your version there are no much debugging tools for ss7.

ss7 show channels|calls|cics would be helpful here, but not available. My
guess is that by some reason the CICs get blocked and are never unblocked,
as you receive incomming calls ... In sig_ss7.c for case ISUP_EVENT_IAM:
you may try to add unblocking (like in review 1676):

if (p->remotelyblocked) {
	ast_log(LOG_NOTICE, "Got IAM on remotely blocked CIC %d DPC %d remove
blocking\n", e->iam.cic, e->iam.opc);
	sig_ss7_set_remotelyblocked(p, 0);
	sig_ss7_set_inservice(p, 1);
}

This should let you make outgoing calls on that CIC after you receive an
incoming call on it (if the blocking is the reason of course) and you may
also try unblocking the CIC or linkset manualy.

If this does not help you may try to backport ss7 show cics CLI command to
get more debug info
