Correct, the gateways section is only if you wish to create gateways to connect to other servers. Since you plan to use this profile only for inbound registrations you're fine. This profile can utilize existing users from your user directory.<br>

Thanks Michael<br>
<br>
I found my mistake. I had copied the new external5090.xml file into
the external directory and not into the same directory as
external.xml. After restating FreeSWITCH, I can now see the new
profile:<br>
<br>
external5090 profile
<a href="mailto:sip:mod_sofia@192.168.0.16:5090" target="_blank">sip:mod_sofia@192.168.0.16:5090</a> RUNNING (0)<br>
<br>
I have removed the <gateway> section as I presume I don't need
these gateways to be loaded for my new profile?<br>
<br>
<gateways><br>
<X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="include" data="external/*.xml"/><br>
</gateways><br>
<br>
Does the external softphone just connect using an existing user/ext
or do I now somehow create a gateway that limits which users are
exposed to the internet.<br>
<br>
Thanks again for your guidance.<br>

<br>
I would like to allow a person with a softphone app to
register with<br>
Freeswitch (extension 1111) when they are outside the office
network.<br>
<br>
I would like to to implement this using an external profile.
According<br>
to the wiki page (<a href="http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/External_profile" target="_blank">http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/External_profile</a>)
I<br>
just need to create a copy of the
"conf/sip_profiles/external.xml" file<br>
and change the port number to 5090 (and also open the port on
the<br>
modem). When I do a "sofia status", this new gateway does not
show up<br>
and to be honest, I don't quite understand how that works and
what else<br>
to read to make sense of what to do.<br>
<br>
What are the ways in which other Freeswitch admins are
granting access<br>
to external devices?<br>
<br>
ps. just to confirm, do I set external_rtp_ip and
external_sip_ip to the<br>
fix IP address that my ISP has given me - the one that is
shown by<br>
<a href="http://www.whatsmyip.org" target="_blank">www.whatsmyip.org</a>?<br>
<br>
Please help<br>
Thanks<br>
