[Freeswitch-users] New FreeSwitch User - WAPSERVER Question

[Shelby Ramsey]

Dave,

You should check out the settings in $FS_DIR/conf/sofia_profiles/ and 
$FS_DIR/conf/vars.xml.  To make the changes take effect just restart FS 
or use the API commands for reloading the sofia profiles.

You'll definitely want to set a static IP address on the FS server (or 
make sure the DHCP server always assigns the same IP address to the FS 
server).  Otherwise you'll constantly be changing the clients that have 
to connect to FS.
