Documentation requests
by Michael Jerris 04 Oct '07

04 Oct '07

As Anthony had mentioned in another thread, we have heard your ongoing complaints that there is not enough documentation, but we don't know what kind of documentation you really want. Please respond to this thread with what information that you were not able to find on the wiki, that would help you in using freeswitch. If no one responds, GREAT! Were done and don't need to document anymore. Otherwise, this is your opportunity to speak up and say what is missing. Mike

Dialplan XML/PCRE Question: Examples 3, 4, 5 from wiki, escaped parens?
by Michael Collins 04 Oct '07

04 Oct '07

Guys, Quick question. On the wiki I noticed that examples 3, 4, and 5 all use escaped parentheses, whereas examples 1 and 2 do not. Example 3: <extension name="Test3"> <condition field="destination_number" expression="^00$.+$$"> <action application="bridge" data="sofia/profilename/$1(a)192.168.2.2"/> </condition> </extension> Example 2: <extension name="Test2"> <condition field="network_addr" expression="^192\.168\.1\.1$"/> <condition field="destination_number" expression="^1(\d+)$"> <action application="bridge" data="sofia/profilename/$0(a)192.168.2.2"/> </condition> </extension> (Note the expressions following the 'destination_number' fields.) Is this a typo? I just want to be sure that I am reading this correctly. Seeing escaped parens in a PCRE tells me that the expression is attempting to match literal paren characters. Additionally, using ".+" might not be correct here, either. It means, "match one or more of any character, maximal." If I'm reading the author's intentions correctly, in example 3 he wants to capture the digits after the 00, so in the case of "00123456789" he wants $1 populated with "123456789". Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't the condition and expression look like this? <condition field="destination_number" expression="^00(\d+)$"> Here the expression is saying, "Match a string of all digits beginning with two zeroes; capture the digits following the two zeroes and store them in $1." I didn't want to change the documentation without a second opinion. (FYI, I can't test it right now b/c I don't have a running FS system at the moment...) Thanks, MC

Documentation roadmap
by Jonas Gauffin 04 Oct '07

04 Oct '07

Hello all This is my suggestion on how we can improve the documentation. It's all being discussed before. But since nothing more have happened, I'm sending this email. First of all. I need to know if you want to participate in the documentation project. That is to create books/manuals for FreeSwitch. As I see it we need different roles: a) People with some knowledge about Freeswitch b) New users giving feedback c) Users with excellent English knowledge who can correct grammar etc. My suggestion is that we start with a Users guide. It should contain everything the average user needs to know to get FreeSwitch up and running. It should guide the user through everything like user accounts, protocols, dialplan and provider configuration. As someone suggested, DocBook is a nice way of doing the documentation. With DocBoc, we can generate a online documentation (and add a commenting system like the php online manual), PDF's and CHM files. I got a couple of links to docbook authoring tools at home. I'll post them later. My suggestion is to make an new mailing list for the documentation project, and that the documentation can be put under source control. What we need to know: 1. Are you interested in participating? 2. What parts of FS do you know (i.e what parts can you document)? A suggestion to a small road map for the actual documentation: 1. Create a chapter index 2. Create a sub chapter index. 3. Create headlines for each sub chapter 4. Do the actual documentation What do you all think? Best regards, Jonas

Re: [Freeswitch-users] iax registration?
by Anthony Minessale 04 Oct '07

04 Oct '07

We have no intention of doing much more development on the mod_iax endpoint that is currently in tree. mod_iax was used as a test module in the early stages of FreeSWITCH development and since it's functional we let it stick around. It uses a fork of libiax which is a very weak client library with many issues. We patched a few major thread safety issues to stabalize it because it was only designed with one user and one or 2 calls at a time in mind so I deem it unsuitable to attempt to put any effort into adding anything to it. With proper funding, I am willing to start an initiative to create a BSD licensed enterprise minded IAX2 stack getting as many developers involved who wish to see such a thing but I personally have no motivation to begin such an initiative for a protocol that is not very popular.

Originate between two registered endpoints
by Jonas Gauffin 04 Oct '07

04 Oct '07

Hello I'm originating a call from one phone (caller) to another (destination). Both are registered in FreeSwitch. Why do the destination phone get a channel_state HOLD event just after channel_state RING? Isn't hold only supposed to be sent when the user actually put's someone on hold? I'm wondering since I'm handling all channel events in a switch monitoring program, and I should show "offering" (a call is being offered to the phone) and not "onhold" in this case. I'm not posting this as a bug since it might just be me who doesnt understand the event flow (in that case, please explain why the HOLD state is there and how I can see when the call is actually being put on hold).

Incoming call configuration
by Midiclorian 04 Oct '07

04 Oct '07

Hi all, I have managed to have FS registered to my SIP Provider. Now how can I set the routing rules so that when I receive an incoming call form my external SIP provider, the call is routed to an extension? Thanks a lot and regards, Francesco. --------------------------------- --------------------------------- L'email della prossima generazione? Puoi averla con la nuova Yahoo! Mail

DND
by Jonas Gauffin 04 Oct '07

04 Oct '07

Hello I have a Sipura SPA942 (Linksys) sipphone. With it I can do callforward and DND. When I use those, the display shows the current state (i.e. DND or Call forward to XXX) Can FS detect when those are set? And can FS set them too? //Jonas
