We're now developing a SOAP based interface to SAAM module to their new IN system. Also integrated are the SMSC and the Asterisk IVR (AGI over PHP). There are bunch of automated scripts, and reporting options. It seems to be holding up pretty well, roughly 100k subscriptions per day processing, at last count I think it had done well over US$25 Million in billing receipts.

Its directly connected to the STP. At another installation we've done this over SIGTRAN, so no hardware required. <em>Apologies for the late reply, I didn't notice this comment</em> Its over MTP2 (with a Sangoma E1) card.

Is it being connected directly to MSC or via GMSC. What are the other connections needed to other network elements (HLR, MMSC, ...etc). Thank you. Hello,

Please can you give me an idea about how SMSC is being connected to the MSC (with which hardware and which type of connection). Is it being connected directly to MSC or via GMSC.

What are the other connections needed to other network elements (HLR, MMSC, …etc).

Thank you.

Seriously, I don't know how they manage to keep their network up. It speaks volumes of the reliability of SS7 and the PSTN network :P Looking forward to interconnect testing with PTCL and then commencement testing with PTA.

In the end to save further time, I have it up on a windows machine. got a lan cable (crossover for computer to computer link) and hooked it up to my windows laptop and the other end in ubuntu machine. Made a network through windows network setup wizard that the windows machine is directly connected to the internet and other computers connect to the internet through this machine. After restarting the windows machine, ubuntu networking in DHCP Automatic mode, the computers started talking to each other and voila I could access the internet from ubuntu.
