libss7 does support multiple point codes and there is nothing special or
wrong with such configuration, but ...
When using Dial(DAHDI/g1/${EXTEN}):
If your linkset 1 is down, the calls go to the second linkset in your
group 1 - this is what you observe
If you have more than 60 calls they will still go to the second linkset
- it is not just for backup, but also extending your available channels,
which is similar to have just one linkset with 4 E1
If only one of the E1 in linkset 1 is down the other will be used for 30
calls and the next call will go to linkset 2
If you use Dial(DAHDI/G1/${EXTEN}) it will start from the last CIC of
second E1 from linkset 2 and similarly with 'r' or 'R' it will cycle
through all CICs from both linksets

Dear all,
I'm experimenting with libss7 and asterisk to do a fail-over
configuration. I've 2 Asterisk Boxes, connected back-to-back with 4
E1s.
2 E1s are configured as linkset - 1 with 2 links in it. Other 2E1s are
configured as linkset - 2 with 2 links in it. Both linkset has
different OPC and DPC. Please see the below for the configuration.

When everything is normal and I make a call, the call go through via
the linkset 1. Then I removed the Physical cable of 1st and 2nd E1,
now the call goes via linkset 2. So I assume that it works as
expected. My doubt is I've read post in this mailing-list saying
Libss7 cannot support multiple point code or you need special
configurations with multiple asterisk running etc... But it looks like
it has worked for me, or am I missing something ??? Please en-light...
