Unstable SS7 links and G.703 balun modules... sarkar.abhik 05-03-05

Hi,

We are connecting some Cisco SS7 equipment (ITP) to a GSM network using
Black Box G.703 balun modules. Attached is a schematic diagram of the
connections.

The links work fine most of the time. But, occasionally all the E1
links on the Cisco SS7 equipment go down. We haven't yet found what
causes the problem. Usually the only way for the links to come up is to
reboot the equipment or sometimes to shutdown and startup the E1
controllers.

As shown in the diagram, we have some connections going straight to
another SS7 equipment through a couple of baluns. We suspect these
connections might be causing some problem because we haven't got the
grouding configuration correct for the balun's involved in these
connections. Ever since we have disconnected these connections the
problem seems to have vanished.

Can someone see something obviously wrong in the diagram? Can someone
suggest anything or has someone seen any problem like this before?

Thanks,
Abhik.

In the past i've found circuits to cisco's drop if there are a few to many
errors in transmission.... just a thought (since the links come in in the
first place it sounds like theyre setup ok...
