Just wanted to introduce myself as I'm sure I'll be posting here often looking for opinions. I have recently started a large project to create a scalable, fault-tolerant, and entirely open source communications platform and my intention is to use Freeswitch for the core of this system. I'm really excited about what I have seen from Freeswitch so far. I come from a big Asterisk background in the old days but have spent the last 5 years in proprietary voice systems prison :) My main areas of focus right now are distributed call processing via core-odbc (possibly memcached?) with load balancing and tight integration with an openSER variant doing the balancing. I am hoping to be able to use the SER (probably opensips) to handle registrations and NAT traversal to keep the load from the core servers. I will post that question in a different thread though. Also, I'm not much of a C programmer so core development is probably out, but I would be happy to contribute to the project in any way I can with testing, documentation, or script contribution. Thanks, -Jody

Integration with an external registrar
by Jody Rudolph 07 Sep '10

07 Sep '10

I know one could look up authentication information stored elsewhere via xml_curl but a simple scenario there would involve a registration message triggering this process. Since a separate registrar would likely consume the registration message I am curious what backend process could be used to share this information and trigger the event so the FS server actually held an active registration while the registrar actually dealt with the load of the registration messages. The registrar would be one of the openSER variants in this case. Has anyone heard of any projects using a separate registrar while keeping the actual registrations active in FS to enable all feature use like SLA, BLF, etc? Thanks, Jody Rudolph

Problem making call using itsp
by covici＠ccs.covici.com 06 Sep '10

06 Sep '10

Hi. I am getting a strange (to me) error message when I try to make an outgoing call using flowroute -- which is one of the itsp's I use. Here is the messages I am getting: 2010-09-03 10:59:47.525764 [CRIT] switch_channel.c:915 Invalid data (${local_media_ip} contains a variable) 2010-09-03 10:59:47.525764 [CRIT] switch_channel.c:915 Invalid data (${sip_local_sdp_str} contains a variable) What the heck do these mean and what can I do to fix? Thanks in advance for any ideas. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici covici(a)ccs.covici.com

getting into fs_cli
by covici＠ccs.covici.com 06 Sep '10

06 Sep '10

Hi. How do I prevent any user logging onto my system from getting into fs_cli -- they could shut down the whole system if they wanted to. Can I set a password, only allow root to get in, or what? Thanks in advance for any ideas. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici covici(a)ccs.covici.com

Anyone knows a way to automatically generate skype configurations (basically the encrypted password) *without* needing to manually access the skype client? Thanks, François.

ODBC not installed
by mazilo 06 Sep '10

06 Sep '10

I excerpted the freeswitch.log file below that shows ODBC isn't installed in the system and suggests to reconfigure freeswitch with --enable-core-odbc-support option. I ran ./configure --help and couldn't find such an option. Can anyone please confirm this? 2010-09-05 13:33:03.980480 [CRIT] mod_nibblebill.c:233 ODBC does not appear to be installed in the core or your dsn is empty. You need to run ./configure --enable-core-odbc-support ----- don't and stop are the ONLY two 4-letter words considered offensive to men, but not when used together. -- View this message in context: http://freeswitch-users.2379917.n2.nabble.com/ODBC-not-installed-tp5501204p… Sent from the freeswitch-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Advice on a tool for SIP callflow testing that asserts that a number of proxies are correctly used
by tom strickland 06 Sep '10

06 Sep '10

I have a setup where a SIP proxy will route through a number of applications. An application may in turn proxy the call on, or it may become a UAS. I'd like to write test code for the original proxy that allows me to take a call from Alice to Bob and string it along several proxies to an eventual endpoint and I'd like to be able to monitor the progress of the SIP traffic at each point. Here's my question: I am mostly used to test software that pretends to be an endpoint - the UAC or UAS - but not a proxy. Does anyone have any pointers on ways of asserting that SIP traffic is flowing throuh a given proxy? I'd like to be able to test that, when Alice calls Bob, the proxy being tested correctly routes the call through proxyAppA, thence back to the proxy, then proxyAppB and finally to Bob (the UAS). Any thoughts? Thanks, Tom
