Actually you'll probably want to use a PRI config ISUP is used if you're connecting to a switch that requires SS7 signalling. as far as I'm aware, asterisk doesn't support SS7. you'll need to use the Sonus EMS Task Configurator to build a PRI trunk group this should be all covered in the online help. Make sure you set the "Switch Side Behavior" to Network and set a switch type that matches what you set the Asterisk configuration to. --J
Hi Jason=20
Thanks for the information that you gave. I want to connect to an Asterisk PBX which will act as the termination. So I guess I should be using an ISUP connection. Also I will be using an E1 to connect the same.

There are different procedures based on what kind of trunk you want to add...
is it ISDN PRI, Is it ISUP, is it CAS etc...=20
What kind of circuit are you planning? DS1, DS1 on DS3, or optical?
this should be all covered in the manuals.
It's not an extremely involved, but you do need go get the steps done in the correct order.

Hi Jason, Asterisk 1.6.1.6 is the software that am using and it supports SS7.

Asterisk supports SS7 in the 1.6 versions with libss7. This list would know more for you. http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-ss7 Jason Vanick wrote:

Asterisk does have partial support for SS7. Last time I looked into it the major functions were there, but not all of them. However there have been Asterisk servers in production using SS7 for at least a year and a half, possibly more.

Wow... I stand corrected. what is providing/servicing the A-Links from Asterisk? I'm thinking SigTran? -J

56 or 64k DS0 on a channel of a T1. It can support A or F links. It does not support SCCP or TCAP. -Paul

No, it actually supports physical 56k DDS links or whatever T1-based SS7 A-links use these days. Well, "supports" ... -- Alex Balashov - Principal Evariste Systems Web : http://www.evaristesys.com/ Tel : (+1) (678) 954-0670 Direct : (+1) (678) 954-0671

"Supports" SS7 is a nebulous notion. SS7 entails a pretty large protocol stack and capabilities set. Asterisk-ss7 supports basic ISUP and it mostly works, so it's a potentially functional replacement for PRI in places where telcos prefer private SS7 to PRI for access. Beyond that particular application, it is mostly useless from a service provider or carrier standpoint. It does not support TCAP at all, so no LNP/CNAM/LIDB. Secondly, it does not support any outboard media gateway control protocols - no MGCP or H.248/MEGACO. So, you can't use an Asterisk signaling agent to drive a horizontally scalable farm of independent media gateways; as with everything else, Asterisk integrates the signaling and bearer plane into one unitary process and one host. The signaling link must be physically associated with the bearer trunks. In practice, this means that the inter-machine trunk group size you can signal is limited to how many T1s can practically go into a PC host running Asterisk; to me, that's 4, though some people think you can put 5-8 T1s into a PC with dual quad-port cards. It might be good for connecting to a Sonus, but not if you want to signal more than a handful of T1s. I strongly suggest you follow the advice to use PRI instead, as it's also much better supported and battle-tested. -- Alex Carlos Alvarez wrote:
