<div>Oops, did I say chan_ss7? I meant to ask the questions below with reference to libss7.</div>

<div>Hi Matthew,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We don't have a live <span class="st" id="st" name="st">SS7</span> link in the office but I do have an Inet Spectra <span class="st" id="st" name="st">SS7</span> simulator/emulator with ISUP. It has been used to debug other
<span class="st" id="st" name="st">SS7</span> stacks on commercial SoftSwitch/NIVR platforms with great success. It can generate calls and inject maintenance messages/deliberate errors etc. The Spectra supports up to four
<span class="st" id="st" name="st">SS7</span> signalling links and multiple point codes. With a bit of fiddling the Spectra can be used remotely but you have to use a DOS based client; I don't have the Unix version of the remote client application.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>For independent verification of the signalling conversations "on the wire" we also have a GN Nettest MPA (Multi Protocol Analyser) with ISUP. This device will also spot transmission errors when performing long duration tests. (There's nothing like an idle
<span class="st" id="st" name="st">SS7</span> link, generating lots of FISUs to really find out if a link is stable) </div>
<div> </div>
<div>The bad news is the I only have an old single E1 card in our test system and the brief loan of a more modern dual E1 card (both Digium). Can these cards be used to run chan_ss7 or do I have to obtain a TE4XX card? Our model system uses SuSE
9.2, does that present any problems?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Regards</div>
