[Freeswitch-users] Asterisk to FreeSWITCH migration guide

[Sam]

What happens is iCall will continuously try to resend invites until it timeouts.

We have a lot of experience with iCall. I'm not familiar with any hard requirement to "answer" the inbound leg prior to bridging an outbound leg. What happens in your dialplan if you don't explicitly answer the inbound leg prior to calling the bridge app?

>>My gripe was not about simply having a DIALSTATUS variable in Freeswitch which copies what is from "originate_disposition" what I wanted is to be able to get the status of the B-Leg because right now when early media is played (which i wanted)  "originate_disposition" shows "ANSWER" which I think is caused by me explitly called the "answer" app in my dialplan before the bridge app, this is because my DID provider requires an answer/sip 200 or else it will keep re-sending the sip invite, therefore causing freeswitch to keep creating new channels. All I want is to be able to get the proper sip/hangup/dial statuses of the B-leg.

Also each module has its own version "sip_hangup_disposition" for sip so you have both the real sip response code AND the official Q.850 equiv variables set on each call.

>>>I am starting to use FreeSWITCH, i am an asterisk user since the
1.0.7
release appears as a package on the debian distribution, at the
beginning i was amazed by the fact i can build a PBX for my own
business
and i did, later i began to install this system for my customers and
sooner i meet the problems, however being the software open source i
always find a way to fix things using patchs from others, sometimes i
felt how my life was at risk when the system stops working and that
usually happens when i have to use queues and dealing with digium
hardware.

the
hardware where the digium cards were supposed to be installed helps me,
but that was to much stress for me and seeking for a balance that will
let me invest more time on services, configuration and hoping to have
better hardware
options brings me to freeswitch.

>>>I agree with freeswitch philosophy that instead of having
thousands of
modules
that don't work fine i prefer just a few that works the way it should
be, a rock solid system for a corporate pbx and a call center is what i
want.

another
alternative to asterisk.
