Can you please share your thoughts. Almost everyone is using Freeswitch on linux. What is wrong with windows in context with Freeswitch? Best regards, Gregor

Campon busy for external calls
by Rick Jarvis 28 Jul '16

28 Jul '16

Has anyone come up with a way of providing ‘camp-on busy’ for outgoing external calls? It’s often referred to as ‘Ring Back’ in the UK, (not to be confused with the artificial ring tone), so that a user can press a button on receiving the busy signal, and the call will ring the originator when the called line becomes available, and then connected to the called number when they pick up. We’re looking into it following a customer request, and it’s looking like it’s not well supported across providers, so wondering about doing something programatically. Eg attempt the call every minute in the background, until either the line becomes free, or a timeout (an hour or so) occurs. It will take me a while to figure out how to do this, so don’t want to reinvent the wheel if this has been achieved already!?

Originate serial/parallel calls to endpoints with voicemail
by Anonim Stefan 28 Jul '16

28 Jul '16

Hi, Consider the originate serial calling scenario, done using the "|" sign, in a ESL python script. Consider that when one of the serial endpoints pick up, I transfer to dialplan xml and bridge to a certain user. Now, consider the called endpoints in the serial group have voicemail activated and when they reject the invite, voice mail comes in and replies with _200 ok_ and does its thing. The way I tackle this right now is I use group_key to wait for some user input. If no user dtmf input => voicemail. The actual problem I am having is that if the first endpoint in the serial group rejects the call, the second endpoint in the serial group is never called because freeswitch saw that 200 ok and considers the user actually answered even though it was the voice mail. Is there a way to make originate command try the second endpoint in the serial group, if the first one did not press dtmf group key in the right amount of time ? Any suggestions how to tackle this further?! Thanks, Stefan

list_users or show registrations and dynamic nat-options-ping
by Iskren Hadzhinedev 28 Jul '16

28 Jul '16

Hi everyone, I’ve a couple of questions, 1. |list_users| and |show registrations| are showing me different results. Which one is correct and can I get them somehow in ‘sync’? 2. Can I control |nat-options-ping| on a profile dynamically without reloading the profile? I have a HA master/backup setup with a shared database but with the backup server sending pings and marking endpoints as unreachable some calls are failing. All input is much appreciated. Thank you! Kind regards, Iskren

Re: [Freeswitch-users] Directory to recompile FreeSwitch?
by Aqs Younas 27 Jul '16

Yes, you should be doing this in freeswitch source. Mostly, it would be in these directories: /usr/src/, /usr/local/src/ On Jul 27, 2016 10:56 AM, "Don Hawkins" <hawkins(a)hawkinsegroup.com> wrote: Silly me. It's installed now but still not working.

When is an xfer not an xfer
by Sean Devoy 27 Jul '16

27 Jul '16

Hi All, I am really just looking for ideas to help me solve a mystery with one of my FS users. I honestly think this is user error, but then I cannot explain what she may be doing that would produce this result. My customer is the receptionist at a 7 extension office. She answers 100's of calls and transfers them every day. She has reported that recently "the phone stopped working." (She is on a CISCO SPA504-G. FS is stable build. OS is CENTOS 5.8) She says occasionally when she attempts an attended xfer and she presses xfer, she gets "a loud noise, not the normal tone". I have been unable to extract a better description of the sound. She continues with the xfer, announces the caller and presses xfer again. The recipient of xfer then gets music on hold. She says the original caller is on hold and she has to pick it up and do it again. This system has been very stable and has no changes in many months. No other user at any site reports any similar issues. I have tried to look through the log file, but there is so much there I get information overload as I do not know what to look for. So, any suggestions for: * Determining what the "loud noise" is? * What she may be doing differently on these calls? * Software to analyze the FS log file to tell what happened or summarize the call flow? * Resources to help me understand the log file better? I have a date/time that she reported the problem happening so the exact point in the FS log identifiable. If someone wanted to help me identify the key lines in the log file that showed the call flow (and maybe user actions) I would gladly start a FS Log analyzer project. But, I don't know enough to identify the key lines that indicate "significant events" in the call flow. Anyone willing to review my log file message me offline and I will send a link. I don't think posting it to the world is helpful in general and just gives hackers that much more information for locating my server. Thanks again for your time and any suggestions. Sean

Per-Channel Hold Music Question
by Colin Morelli 27 Jul '16

27 Jul '16

Hey all, I'm using FS in a multi-tenant scenario where I'm trying to set hold music via the hold_music channel var with a file_string:// of hold music files. However, I'd like to get something closer to local_stream:// behavior (without being able to use it since hold music is dynamic). Ideally, I want callers to hear a random file from the hold_music file string each time they're placed on hold. Is there a file handler like file_string:// that would pick a file to play randomly? Or another suggestion to accomplish a similar goal of getting callers to hear something different when they're placed on hold multiple times? Best, Colin

inbound ring group assistance
by sean farrell 27 Jul '16

27 Jul '16

Hi All, I'm sure this kind of email has been answered a thousand times already, so feel free to point me to a working example. All I want is when a call from DID 17020000000 is received, for it to ring all users on a group. Internally I can dial 2003 and all the endpoints will ring, so I think the devices are in the right group and all. /usr/local/freeswitch/conf/dialplan/public/01_inbound_did.xml: <include> <extension name="techsupport"> <condition field="destination_number" expression="^17020000000$"> <action application="transfer" data="{ignore_early_media=true}2003"/> </condition> </extension> </include> /usr/local/freeswitch/conf/dialplan/default.xml: <extension name="techsupport"> <condition field="destination_number" expression="^2003$"> <action application="bridge" data="${group_call(techsupport@${domain_name})}"/> </condition> </extension> Here's an endpoint in the group that's setup: /usr/local/freeswitch/conf/directory/default/2604.xml: <include> <user id="2604"> <variable name="callgroup" value="techsupport"/> </variables> </user> </include> Here's trying to call the devices individually: /usr/local/freeswitch/conf/dialplan/default/homephone.xml <extension name="ring_simultaneously"> <condition field="destination_number" expression="^(2000)$"> <action application="bridge" data="{ignore_early_media=true}sofia/internal/2604@{domain_name},sofia/internal/2600@{domain_name}"/> </condition> </extension> tried this, too: /usr/local/freeswitch/conf/dialplan/public/01_inbound_did.xml <include> <extension name="techsupport"> <condition field="destination_number" expression="^17020000000$"> <action application="transfer" data="ring_simultaneously XML Default"/> </condition> </extension> </include> What am I missing and how off am I? Thanks!

Directory to recompile FreeSwitch?
by Don Hawkins 27 Jul '16

27 Jul '16

I need to recompile FS to support mod_shout, I've already enabled it in the configuration file /etc/freeswitch/autoload_configs/modules.conf.xml Every time I try to run "make mod_shout-install" or "./configure && make install" nothing happens, I get "bash: make: command not found". My guess is I'm trying from the wrong directory (I've tried a lot of them already), which directory do I need to be in to recompile and enable this module? Thanks!

Possible to specify separate client and server certs for mutually-authenticated SIPTLS gateways?
by Bob Hartwig 26 Jul '16

26 Jul '16

Hi! I'm very impressed by Freeswitch's support for mutually authenticated TLS. However, I'm having some difficulty connecting to a gateway that is rather pedantic in verifying that Freeswitch's server cert is actually a server cert, and its client cert is actually a client cert. As far as I can tell, Freeswitch uses agent.pem for both server and client cert. Is there a way to tell Freeswitch to use agent.pem for the server cert, and a different cert for the client cert? Thanks! Bob Hartwig
