Announcing mod_easyroute
by Ken Rice 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

Greetings! I would like to announce the inclusion of mod_easyroute in FreeSwitch. mod_easyroute is a DID routing engine that uses an ODBC data source to figure out where to route calls. It uses a gateway concept and a number concept with a relation of one gateway to many numbers. Numbers are looked up in the database and a dial string and other useful information is returned into channel variables including a full dial string that can be passed to the bridge function for sending the call out. This module is not really targeted at the PBX user but at the ITSP community as an example of what can be done in C using the ODBC extensions built into the FreeSwitch core. See http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_easyroute or http://www.freeswitch.org/node/158 for more information. Please note: if you are wanting to play with mod_easyroute, please ensure you have FreeSwitch compiled with ODBC support enabled (see http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Using_ODBC_in_the_core for ODBC setup information) If you are wondering why I would release such a thing, I have had this code sitting around for a bit now, a friend of mine needed the ability to route DIDs to different SIP based Application Servers for his business, so I wrote this for him, over the course of the past several months several people have approached me needing something similar and I re-used this code a few times for various consulting projects. A few weeks ago one of the guys in the IRC channel mentions he was about to write something like this for one of his clients, I mentioned I had this and he offered to "bounty" this functionality if I would release it. So here it is guys have at it. Thanks to the guys that sent me a few bucks for this code! Now to get a quick plug in for myself. I'm a consultant that works mainly with ITSPs and VoIP related projects, If you find yourself in need of some professional services to assist you in customizing or deploying FreeSwitch for your business, drop me an email off list and I will get back to you. With the growth that's happened with FreeSwitch up til now, I can't wait to see what 2009 will bring! Ken Rice Krice <at> rmktek <dot> com Ken4VoIP AIM

NORMAL_TEMPORARY_FAILURE problem
by Alexandru Nedelcu 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

Hi, I want to know exactly what does this hangup_cause means: "NORMAL_TEMPORARY_FAILURE". I'm receiving lots of those. Is the SIP provider to blame, or is my setup? I took a look at the sip communication (Wireshark/tcpdump), and I couldn't find a response from the sip provider that matches. All I got was "487 Request Cancelled" and "486 Busy Here". Thanks,

FreeSWITCH, MRCP and Perl

What would it take to put a budget together to for this project? Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2009 01:55:36 -0500 From: mszlazak(a)aol.com Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] FreeSWITCH, MRCP and Perl To: freeswitch-users(a)lists.freeswitch.org Message-ID: <8CB436312A08329-80C-1B5D(a)MBLK-M24.sysops.aol.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" "My god" I would LOVE it if this is really the case and would praise pocketsphinx (PS) and FS to no end. But my experience has been different. First, I tried the pizza demo with a soft phone and later by outside phone calls to my Linksys 3102 pstn-to-voip gateway. Second, I tried these two set-ups again but with Voxeo's Prophecy ASR. Both are as is and by this I mean there was no training of PocketSphinx just running the pizza demo and with Prophecy there is no training because it can't be trained. Prophecy is quite good but the FS/Pocketsphinx pizza demo isn't and I couldn't use it at a pizza join. Also, I get a much better experience when calling LumenVox and trying their pizza demo. Now, maybe Prophecy is the type of asr that doesn't require hours of training to make it speaker independent. I know that the Sphinx family are the types of ASR that do need this. So, if there is some settings for adaptation of Pocketsphinx for speaker independence then are they turned on? ? How many hours of calls to a business should an owner expect before PocketSphinx gets good enough not to scare customers away? If there are many hours needed then I could see using another ASR in the mean time, recording their calls and feeding the audio to Pocketsphinx for training, then switching to Pocketspinx once it's "tuned up." At least this way a business doesn't have to deal with a "virgin" pocketsphinx. Mark -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

FreeSWITCH, MRCP and Perl
by David Knell 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

Hi all - In case anyone's interested, I've documented how we interfaced FS with Lumenvox via MRCP using FS' event socket and unicast interfaces and a bit of Perl here: http://www.softivr.com/wiki/index.php/FreeSWITCH_MRCP_in_Perl Three surprises: that it worked at all, that it works quite well and that it was really quite easy to do. One thing I'm looking for: has anyone written a module which attaches a bug to an audio stream and forwards the audio as RTP to a specified IP/port to just allow audio to be tapped off a call and sent somewhere else to be listened to?

Gateways vs Directory Users
by Apostolos Pantsiopoulos 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

I think one of the most difficult ideas to grasp when someone migrates to FS from other soft-switches is the definition of endpoints (in the generic meaning of the word) i.e. other gateways that your FS gateway will exchange traffic with. From what I understood from the wiki : a user (directory) is an entitiy that defines our subscribers (with registration or not) a gateway is another VoIP gateway that we use to send traffic to (provider) and sometimes receive traffic from (correct me If I am wrong this far) Now, I have the following scenario : I have an FS box that will exhchange traffic with certain gateways. Sometimes a gateway will act as a client (customer) or a provider, depending on the traffic direction. 1st approach : The first plan I tried, was to use the directory to "define" these other gateways since they are clients. I turned off registrations in my SIP profile (because I don't need any), I wrote an xml file for each gateway in the directory with the appropriate cidr and that was it. I then realized that I could not use my definitions in the users directory so that I can send a call to that client. In order to do so, I had to define that particular IP as a gateway in my SIP profile <gateways> section. 2nd approach : I forgot all about the directory thing (after all I needed not any mailboxes or registrations) and tried to implement the same scenario by just using gateways. I declared the gateways in my SIP profile and was able to dial out to them just by using : <action application="bridge" data="sofia/gateway/<gw_name>/$1"/> which was fine. But when I got an inbound call from that gateway I realized (1) that I had to define this gateway in an acl and (2) the dialplan used (context) was always the inbound one since there is no way of telling a gateway which context to use when accepting a call. I found a way in the wiki that suggests using DIDs to accomplish that, but I find it this to be not a very elegant solution because I don't want to use prefixes or DIDs to accomplish my goal. I want to be able to define a gateway using a gateway name (label) of my choice and an IP address, so when I come to the point of having 100+ gateways i won't have to search wich DID to use for a new one. 3rd approach : Use a combination of the above. Declare a gateway that receives and sends traffic twice. Once as a user in the directory and once in the gateways section of my profile. Does all these sound correct to you? Am I missing something? Which approach is the best? Please send me your feedback. Inline comments would be ideal. -- ------------------------------------------- Apostolos Pantsiopoulos Kinetix Tele.com R & D email: regs(a)kinetix.gr -------------------------------------------

SBC configuration
by Ashley van Gerven 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

Hi, I am interested in testing Freeswitch acting as an SBC. Is it simply a matter of configuring the dialplan correctly, using RE's so that inbound calls are just forwarded to our internal PBX and outbound calls from the PBX are forwarded to the VOIP provider? Or do I need to create an application that specifcally creates a new call and then joins the inbound and outbound calls? I haven't been able to find info on the wiki or google re. SBC setup. thanks Ash

Re ad application not working as intended
by ahgindia 13 Jan '09

Hi all, I want have DTMF input from user without answering the call (i.e. in session progress). I used Read application for this, but it is not working as it is intended to be. It is only accepting one DTMF from the user and the channel gets hang up. Am I missing something? Here is the dialplan that I used for this: <action application="read" data="0 2 $${base_dir}/sounds/en/us/callie/conference/8000/conf-pin.wav res 10000 #"/> <action application="phrase" data="spell,${res}"/> The phrase application is used to check user input. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Read-application-not-working-as-intended-tp21386369p2… Sent from the Freeswitch-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hi, Yes, openPhone is working with my soundcard. I am using it every day for testing purposes. I use the 1.8.1 version. Is there a newer version that uses OPAL? I didn't know that.

mod_java under MS Windows - is it possible?
by sellsky＠mail.ru 13 Jan '09

13 Jan '09

Hello, I'm new to FreeSwitch, and now I'm trying to set it up. The problem is, I want to use mod_java under MS Windows. I uncomment this line for mod_java in modules.conf.xml, and I got an error "Error Loading module W:\FreeSWITCH\mod\mod_java.dll". Yes, there is no such dll. Next I tried to compile FreeSwitch myself, and I found there is no MSVC project file for mod_java. I sure can't deal with it myself. Is it possible to make mod_java.dll? -- Best regards, sellsky mailto:sellsky@mail.ru
