OpenVox D410P_chan_ss7 successful case study

hello:
Many customers want to implement chan_ss7 in china or other counties. I introduce one of successful cases in China with OpenVox D410P and chan_ss7.
there are few sections to implement chan_ss7 with OpenVox D410P(3 D410P cards)
1) install cna_ss7, zaptel and asterisk, please refer this for howto: http://bbs.openvox.cn/viewthread.php?tid=905& ;extra=page%3D1
2) setting files:
