<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am new to FreeSwitch - and VOIP too (as the
following questions will indicate). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am trying to setup a VOIP system at home and am
just getting started, I have been trawling through the Docs/Wiki and realise
that I have a lot to learn !</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyway, here's the first (of what I'm sure will be
many !) questions, hopefully someone will take the type to help me
out......</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>OK, I have already worked out that FreeSwitch seems
to be much better supported under Linux than Windows (is that a fair comment ?),
but while I have a long term intention to give Linux a go, it's something that
is on the back burner (and has been for some time). At the moment, the current
plan is to use FreeSwitch under WindowsXP and I have loaded the latest Windows
Install. Everything seems to be working fine so far - well, in test mode anyway,
my VOIP phones and teleco interface won't be here until next week, so at the
moment, I'm just trying out the system with X-Lite.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The first question that I have is about WAPSERVER.
This was installed as part of the FreeSwitch install. At the moment, I am
manually starting FreeSwitch and WAPSERVER does not seem to start automatically.
When I manually start it, it says that it is OFFLINE until I manually put it
ONLINE. So :-</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. What does WAPSERVER actually do ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. How should it be started ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. My next step is to configure the Server PC to
auto-logon to my Windows 2003 Server domain and put FreeSwitch in the Startup
Group - do I need to add WAPSERVER there too ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The next question is about the ServerIP address.
Not thinking far enough ahead, the machine that I installed FreeSwitch on uses
DHCP to get its IP Address. I guess that the FreeSwitch server should really
have a static IP Address. If I change the PC to have a static IP Address, then
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. Do I need to re-install FreeSwitch</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. If not, is there a or is there command to get
FreeSwitch to updated itself with a new IP Address ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. Maybe the Server does not need to know the
change - maybe if only affect the clients (Phones/SoftPhones ?)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks & Best Regards</FONT></DIV>
