<p class=MsoNormal>Dear List,<br>
<br>
I am new to voip and to freeswitch and I am trying to learn how to setup a
wholesale scenario using FreeSwitch. I have very little experience in running
wholesale voip business on voipswitch.<br>
<br>
I know all or most of the answers to my questions are already either in wiki or
in list archive, and I am really sorry to email the list asking for help but
with the little knowledge I have its way over my head and I failed to compile
the information in right way to achieve any result, please forgive me if these
questions bother any of you at all.<br>
<br>
Here is what I wish to achieve with FreeSwitch:<br>
<br>
1) Setup username/password less accounts for customers with IP authentication.
One customer can have multiple IPs. Customer can send traffic using SIP or H323
protocol. A prefix will be assigned to customer for sending traffic. Eg. 1234 +
Country code + Area code + Number.<br>
2) Customer can be post paid or per paid, so need to disable customer's ability
to call when assigned credit limit is reached.<br>
3) Setup providers (Gateways) which do not provide username/password for
authentication and do not require FreeSwitch to register with them, FreeSwitch
IP will be allowed to send traffic directly with a 3-4 digit prefix. Provider
can be on H323 or SIP either and can have multiple IPs (1 primary and other for
fail-over)<br clear=all>
4) Customer and providers need access to CDR. So we need to configure
Freeswitch the way that it can store CDRs in MySQL database, that database can
be accessed by a web application to show CDR on web.<br>
<br>
<b>Hardware and OS info:</b><br>
CentOS 5.4 (Linux 2.6.18-164.15.1.el5PAE on i686)<br>
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5420 @ 2.50GHz, 4 cores<br>
4 GB RAM.<br>
1 GIGABIT NIC with a Public IP address<br>
<br>
<b>Progress so far:</b><br>
1) FreeSwitch installed with installation procedure at FreeSwitch Wiki (<a
href="http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Installation_Guide#Download_Source_Tarball"
target="_blank">http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Installation_Guide#Download_Source_Tarball</a>)<br>
2) Registered and called already created extensions (1001,1002) from x-lite,
called echo extensions and everything worked fine.<br>
<br>
<b>Questions:</b><br>
1) I can see there are 2 H323 mods available for FreeSwitch, which one is
better to use in production.<br>
a) <a href="http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FreeSwitch_H323">http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FreeSwitch_H323</a><br>
b) <a href="http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_h323">http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_h323</a><br>
2) How and where (location in freeswitch conf) can I create customers, add IP
addresses to authorize without username and password, assign a prefix to the
customer? An example would be nice.<br>
3) How and where (location in freeswitch conf) I can create gateways. An
example would be nice.<br>
4) Where to create dialplan to route customer calls to provider. An example
would be nice.<br>
5) How to manage credit assigned to customers, and how to bill the calls?<br>
6) How to configure Freeswitch so that it can dump CDRs to a mysql database.<br>
7) According to FreeSwitch feature list, it supports g723 and g729 in
pass-througe mode, so this means if both customer and providers support g729
& g723, calls will pass?<br>
8) Is there any limit on g729 and g723 calls in pass-through mood?<br>
9) Approx how many concurrent calls can FreeSwitch support in H323 and in SIP
based on the hardware info given above. <br>
<br>
Any pointers, help, links, examples will be highly appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance.<o:p></o:p></p>
