Are you going to have incoming calls as well? If so, how does the soft-switch handle two concurrent calls to the same number?
Yes, we'll have incoming calls as well. I did not performed any tests myself yet, but a guy working with this soft-switch says it just rejects second call. So soft-switch treats each sip registration more or less like single phone line. Soft-switch is Huawei SoftX3000, if somebody experienced in it can prove me wrong, I'll be glad.. :)
Question is - how should I configure FreeSWITCH for this scenario? I see two options:
1) Create 10 gateways with different registrations, use mod_limit to route only one outgoing call per gateway; 2) Create 10 gateways with different registrations, use event socket to route calls manually and monitor used lines (incoming and outgoing calls through soft switch).
Are there any other possibilities? Corrections/ suggestions are very welcome.
This seems like a serious defect in the soft-switch. I can understand if it allows you to specify only one call per SIP registration, but to hard-code that limit seems pretty silly. Can you find out more about the soft-switch in question and see if that limitation is flexible?
Yes, that was my initial thought too - that this limit should be configurable. But a guy working with it says it is not configurable, and local support engineers from Huawei also confirm this. But, who knows, may be they are all wrong. -- Timur Irmatov, xmpp:irmatov@jabber.ru
