[Freeswitch-users] Announcement: FreeSWITCH Add Broadsoft SCA Support

Mon Mar 1 21:49:06 PST 2010

I've torn my hair out for hours and I still can't get it to work with
the domain name set everywhere <sigh> ...

I can get it to work if I hardcode the IP address on the phones and in
all the config files, but I can't get the domain name to work on
incoming calls, I'm at a total loss. If I had a mismatch somewhere,
I'd think it wouldn't work on outgoing calls either, but that seems to
work fine.

Any other ideas? Might it have anything to do with the incoming call
coming in from the PSTN and going through the external profile?

Cheers,
Gabe
