PGW and AS5400 SS7 Interconnect PROBLEM

Hi everyone,

I desperately need your help! I am trying to enable dialup internet access termination on AS5400 using SS7 connection to telco switch via PGW v9.6.1. and integrated SLT. I am having trouble configuring the RLM control link between PGW and AS5400. PGW does not sent any rlm packets to as5400.

Here is the AS5400 config:

!

controller E1 6/0

framing NO-CRC4

channel-group 15 timeslots 16

pri-group timeslots 1-15,17-31 nfas_d primary nfas_int 0 nfas_group 0 rlm-group 0

!

interface Serial6/0:15

no ip address

encapsulation ss7

channel-id 0

!

interface Dchannel6/0

no ip address

encapsulation ppp

dialer rotary-group 0

dialer-group 1

no snmp trap link-status

isdn incoming-voice modem

!

rlm group 0

protocol rlm port 3001

server pgw

link address 10.10.2.10 source Loopback0 weight 1

!

ss7 set session-set 0 failover-timer 3

ss7 session 0 address 10.10.2.10 8061 10.10.1.220 8061 session-set 0

!

Here is PGW config

The problem is that IP link to as5400 is not coming in-service and as a result the associated naspath control link is not coming up.

The strange thing is that I can't set IP Link IN-SERVICE:

pgw mml> set-iplnk:iplnk-2:IS

/* Route to AS5400 */

;

pgw mml>

The packet trace shows that PGW is NOT sending any rlm packets to AS5400.

PLEASE HELP!

hi, you might wanna change the rlm port on the gateway to use 3000 instead of 3001.

3000 - gateway

3001 - pgw

hope this helps.

Thanks for your suggestion but it didn't help. Finally, I had to change the config to use IUA instead RLM for gateway-to-pgw SS7 connectivity and it worked like a charm. Very strange that RLM didn't work despite the correct config...
