Dear all,<div><br></div><div>I am new to FreeSwitch. I am trying to use an external SIP profile for connecting ouside my LAN</div><div><br></div><div>I create a SIP account on <a href="http://iptel.org">iptel.org</a>. </div>
<div><br></div><div>To add a new gateway, I created a file and saved into the External folder</div><div><br></div><div><div>&lt;include&gt;</div><div>&lt;gateway name=&quot;custom&quot;&gt;</div><div>&lt;param name=&quot;username&quot; value=&quot;MY_USER_NAME&quot;/&gt;</div>
<div>&lt;param name=&quot;password&quot; value=&quot;MY_PASSWORD&quot;/&gt;</div><div>&lt;param name=&quot;realm&quot; value=&quot;<a href="http://iptel.org">iptel.org</a>&quot;/&gt;</div><div>&lt;!-- <a href="http://iptel.org">iptel.org</a> requires a &#39;proxy&#39; parameter --&gt;</div>
<div>&lt;param name=&quot;proxy&quot; value=&quot;<a href="http://sip.iptel.org">sip.iptel.org</a>&quot;/&gt;</div><div>&lt;/gateway&gt;</div><div>&lt;/include&gt;</div><div><br></div><div>I have given the username and password which I got after creating an account at <a href="http://iptel.org">iptel.org</a>.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Now, after launching FS CLI, I run a &quot;sofia profile external restart reloadxml&quot; which is giving me message &quot;Invalid Profile [external]&quot;</div><div><br></div><div>I am not able to make up what is the problem. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I have some understanding of Networking. When i tried to find this issue on internet I found that this could be related to:</div><div>1. Is this a problem because of NAT? or Port Forwarding which I need to do?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Please give me some clue to debug the issue.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div>Ankit</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br>-- <br>Life is like a rose its upto u feel it as its fragrance or thorns<br>
