[Freeswitch-users] event socket

Thank you for the reply. Could you please answer couple of questions,


1.       Can an external application in inbound mode can answer inbound calls. For example extension 200 dials 9. Is it possible to answer this call by an external application (inbound mode) ? If it is possible what is the dial plan entry for this ? I read event socket inbound and outbound mode and I'm under the impression that I can't use an external application in inbound mode to answer calls.

2.       Could you please direct me to a source where I can find all supported features/functionality in event socket inbound and outbound mode.


Thank you,

I just figured out something when reading your code.

By looking at your dialplan it looks like you're willing to take control over the incoming calls in your application by using the 'socket outbound' connection mode. In this case your application MUST act as a server and listen for socket connections on the designated port (you need a Server Socket class or its equivalent in .NET).

However according to your dialplan it looks like you're trying to bind the incoming call back to freeswitch, using the default port that FS uses for inbound connections (8021) - please correct me if I'm wrong. If you actually want to give the control of the incoming call to your application, you should use a different port, or change the FS default port on the configuration.  I don't know if the eslConnection class in .NET allows you to listen for incoming socket connection, but it looks to me more like a socket client.

Probably you should double check the Mod_event_socket documentation on the wiki to get more info about the .NET client library, and have a better understanding of the inbound/outbound connection modes. In the outbound mode you need to listen for new connections from your application, and you configure this mode by modifying the dialplan in the way you've done. In the inbound mode you can have a regular dialplan, and receive events for the calls that are handled by freeswitch dialplans.

I'm receiving "+OK" from .Execute(). I'm not receiving a "CHANNEL_DATA" event.

What Type is returned by the .Execute() method call?

Maybe you should create a new variable and assign the returned value to it, so you can inspect the result of the method call, something like:
                EslMessage response = eslConnection.Execute("answer", null, CallID);
String isOk = response.getHeaderValue("Reply-Text");
so you can inspect the response returned by FreeSwitch.

BTW, this is mostly Java code so I'm not sure that these Types/properties are available on the C# assemblies.

And finally, try to perform this operation after receiving the CHANNEL_DATA event instead of CHANNEL_STATE.

Hi,

CallID is a variable I defined. I'm assigning the call Unique-ID to this variable as follows,

                string CallID = eventHandle.GetHeader("Unique-ID");
My full code is at the bottom of this email,

Thank you,

You want the Unique-ID variable of the incoming message, not CallID.

You also have to provide the UUID of the channel, so freeswitch knows which one to answer.

Please confirm: are you sending the call to the "socket" application in your dialplan? If so, then your ESL app needs to be listening on the TCP port specified. See the examples here: http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Event_Socket_Outbound#Examples

Hi,

I'm trying to build an IVR application around freeswtich. I'm using freeswitch event socket in C#. I'm intercepting inbound calls in the dial plan and sending them to my application via outbound socket. Could someone please explain how to execute "answer" application through event socket.

Eg - I'm sending the command as below and it's not working.

ESLConnection eslConnection = new ESLConnection(server, port, password)
ESLEvent eventHandle = eslConnection.SendRecv("event plain ALL");

eventHandle = eslConnection.RecvEvent();
string uniqueCallID = evenHandle.GetHeader("Unique-ID");

eslConnection.Execute("answer", string.Empty, UniqueCallID);


I believe I'm doing something wrong as I can't find required information. Could someone please let me know where to find more information about freeswitch event socket in .Net. (Google not giving me required information)
