Hi,

I´m in a trouble with SS7 ITU signaling links. they fails to get alignment witn reason=0x5 (Two or three invalid BSNs). The debug of backhaul lssu reports event=0x6-protocol error cause=0x2 (Abnormal BSN (Backward Sequence Number)). The links are terminated in a AS5350XM with integrated SLT feature. I Attached a trace of debug ss7 mtp2 *.

Thank you for your help

I looked at the debug and this could be any number of things that would caise the BSN failures. Normally this means that there are problems with your facilities. If the facilities are clean on both ends of the link and the error correction is the same (PCR or basic).

Finally, try to collect an ss7 analyser capture of the alignment process and check the SLTMs.

It may be that both ends are not cofigured properly or are in loopback at one side.

You just want to check that the OPC,DPC, SLC and NI are the same on both ends of the link.

hi anikas,

thank you very much for you interesting response. The transmision is free of errors. I double checked all the parameters (PCs,NIs,SLCs) and I made testes with the different types of error correction and the problem remains. Anyway with the snooper I can see SLTM interchanges and it seems something extrange. Both sides send SLTM:

But no one send SLTAs.

And the SLTM from my switch 1-136-3[03139] are answered from another DPC (3703) with a message that the snooper fails to decode but wireshark sniffer show as:

and as you can see in this packet is enclosed the SLTM pattern (0x21905472616E7350617468). Any idea?

Thank you

Hi Juan

Not sure if you cleared this, but here are my thoughts:

From your IOS debug I see you are sending SIE and receiving SIN. Almost certainly a mismatch in the Point Code and SLC as Anikas illustrated. It appears you are trying to establish a link to an already connected PC? Suggest you check your C7-lnk config against the IOS config on the Media Gateway. If you attach both comfig.mml and the IOS running config, that might allow for further investigation. Perhaps a schematic of the PC interconnect on your network also?

Hi,

Thank you for your interest and answer. finally I solved the problem that it was the same than posted here:

Mismatch of SLTM spare bits.
