asterisk users - Jul 2011 - SS7 and PRI compatibility

Hello,

Is SS7 and PRI in any way compatible in that if the interface is
configured one it will work for the other (granted, it will not have
any of the ISUP, etc. parameters available if the line is PRI) or are
they two distince protocols that have incompatible signalling?

Thanks,
Elliot

They are completely incompatible above the physical and HDLC layers.
