[Freeswitch-users] Port numbers

[Alexey Sibyakin]

Hi,

Most of the time you need to register against your provider. When you
declare your gateway to provider in the external profile FreeSWITCH
will send REGISTER with 5080 port in contact. Provider will send your
calls to 5080 because of it.

If you don't need to register most probably your provider will ask you
for IP to send calls. Don't forget to include 5080 port in that case.

The whole concept is really nice since enterprise can have some phones
in their LAN  and FreeSWITCH will have only private (rfc1918) ip. In
the meantime 5080 can be forwarded from the internet via firewall and
calls will reach the server without possibility of brute force attacks
to 5060.

Also you can use different contexts for profile and for users.

Regards,

Alex
