<div>decide how many E1 you are going to connect and with how many box. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you decide to use more that one box with one sig chan, than you have to use chan_ss7. Because libss7 still works only on one box with one/multiple sig chan. chan_ss7 also has commercial support which you can buy from them.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>as i can see that there is requirement of 4 E1 card installation, check if you have 4 sig chan or one. If you have 4 you can either use 4 cards on 4 box with libss7 or 4 box with chan_ss7. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you have one sig chan and want to use 4 card on 4 box, chan_ss7 is the solution.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>you can use ast 1.6.1 and is stable with libss7 current version and chan_ss7 1.3 or higher. Place all the cards on diffrent cpu to handle interrupt.</div>
