I have the exact same condition with chan_ss7 on Asterisk 1.4 and
Asterisk 1.8 and can confirm that I've run all versions of chan_ss7
from 1.3 up to 2.1.0 (2.1.0 on Asterisk 1.8 and the previous
versions on Asterisk 1.4).<br>
<br>
The remote end is, to the best of my knowledge, a Siemens EWSD.<br>

As far as I am aware, there is no way to disable the optionals in
chan_ss7.<br>
<br>
Interestingly, the is not on all REL and RLC messages, only some of
them.<br>
<br>
I guess it's time to look through the source code, but this hasn't
proven terribly problematic for me thus far because it's only a few
random CICs that block in that state. It seems the remote end does
eventually remove the admin block by itself after a certain amount
of time, but restarting asterisk or chan_ss7 won't help. Usually I
just get the guys on the remote end to manually clear the condition.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hello list,
i have two E1 running on a asterisk 1.8 with chan_ss7 which i have set
to production state last week. And after around 5000 calls i can see
that 3 channels are in state BLOCKED Remote Maintenance. My carrier said
he hasnt blocked anything on this two E1 lines but he can see some
messages even on busy lines he doesnt understand.
Asterisk was automatically restarted every night but these three
channels stay at this state.
Is this a known bug or what can i do to solve this problem?
asterisk verison 1.8 (Asterisk SVN-schmidts-unleash-the-beast-r343849)
chan_ss7 version (chan_ss7 version 2.1.0) but with some patches to isup
for connected line information and also the patch for the additional
calling party header.
thanks!
best regards
stefan schmidt
