Hi, I followed the instructions at http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Getting_Started_Guide and changed the settings in freeswitch.xml for domain and subdomain to my (external) IP address and the settings in sofia.conf.xml for rtp-ip and sip-ip also to my (external) IP address. I am behind a NAT, but all ports are forwarded to me. I hit the play button in VS 2005 and FreeSSWITCH appeared to start with no errors. I entered "pa call 1234" at the command prompt. I received no audible indication that a call was being made, should I have done? The call appeared not to connect because of a NO ANSWER, should it have connected? Below is a paste of some of the console output: (I have replaced my actual ip address with myip 2007-04-12 10:45:05 [DEBUG] mod_dialplan_xml.c:369 dialplan_hunt() PortAudio/123 4 State Change CS_RING -> CS_EXECUTE 2007-04-12 10:45:05 [DEBUG] switch_core_state_machine.c:457 switch_core_session_ run() (PortAudio/1234) State EXECUTE 2007-04-12 10:45:05 [DEBUG] mod_portaudio.c:333 channel_on_execute() PortAudio/1 234 CHANNEL EXECUTE 2007-04-12 10:45:05 [DEBUG] switch_core_state_machine.c:114 switch_core_standard _on_execute() Standard EXECUTE 2007-04-12 10:45:05 [NOTICE] switch_core_state_machine.c:124 switch_core_standar d_on_execute() Execute set(absolute_codec_string=PCMU) 2007-04-12 10:45:05 [DEBUG] mod_dptools.c:302 set_function() SET [absolute_codec _string]=[PCMU] 2007-04-12 10:45:05 [NOTICE] switch_core_state_machine.c:124 switch_core_standar d_on_execute() Execute set(export_vars=absolute_codec_string) 2007-04-12 10:45:05 [DEBUG] mod_dptools.c:302 set_function() SET [export_vars]=[ absolute_codec_string] 2007-04-12 10:45:05 [NOTICE] switch_core_state_machine.c:124 switch_core_standar d_on_execute() Execute set(ringback=${us-ring}) 2007-04-12 10:45:05 [DEBUG] switch_core_state_machine.c:148 switch_core_standard _on_execute() Expanded String set(ringback=%(2000, 4000, 440.0, 480.0)) 2007-04-12 10:45:05 [DEBUG] mod_dptools.c:302 set_function() SET [ringback]=[%(2 000, 4000, 440.0, 480.0)] 2007-04-12 10:45:05 [NOTICE] switch_core_state_machine.c:124 switch_core_standar d_on_execute() Execute bridge(sofia/myip/1234@conference.freeswitch.org) 2007-04-12 10:45:05 [NOTICE] switch_channel.c:347 switch_channel_set_name() New Chan sofia/myip/1234@conference.freeswitch.org [9c5e5e4d-8b61-394f-a805- 7b0f50f02451] 2007-04-12 10:45:05 [DEBUG] mod_sofia.c:957 sofia_outgoing_channel() sofia/82.22 .75.210/1234@conference.freeswitch.org State Change CS_NEW -> CS_INIT 2007-04-12 10:45:05 [DEBUG] switch_core_state_machine.c:387 switch_core_session_ run() (sofia/myip/1234@conference.freeswitch.org) State INIT 2007-04-12 10:45:05 [DEBUG] mod_sofia.c:86 sofia_on_init() SOFIA INIT nua: nua_r_invite with invalid handle 00000000 2007-04-12 10:45:05 [DEBUG] mod_sofia.c:99 sofia_on_init() sofia/myip/12 34@conference.freeswitch.org State Change CS_INIT -> CS_RING 2007-04-12 10:45:05 [DEBUG] switch_core_state_machine.c:422 switch_core_session_ run() (sofia/myip/1234@conference.freeswitch.org) State RING 2007-04-12 10:45:05 [DEBUG] switch_ivr_originate.c:613 switch_ivr_originate() Ra w Codec Activation Success L16@8000hz 1 channel 20ms 2007-04-12 10:45:05 [DEBUG] mod_sofia.c:114 sofia_on_ring() SOFIA RING 2007-04-12 10:45:05 [DEBUG] switch_ivr_originate.c:660 switch_ivr_originate() Pl ay Ringback Tone [%(2000, 4000, 440.0, 480.0)] 2007-04-12 10:45:05 [DEBUG] switch_ivr_originate.c:48 originate_on_ring() sofia/ myip/1234@conference.freeswitch.org State Change CS_RING -> CS_HOLD 2007-04-12 10:45:05 [DEBUG] switch_core_state_machine.c:565 switch_core_session_ run() (sofia/myip/1234@conference.freeswitch.org) State HOLD 2007-04-12 10:45:05 [DEBUG] switch_core_state_machine.c:207 switch_core_standard _on_hold() Standard HOLD 2007-04-12 10:46:05 [NOTICE] switch_ivr_originate.c:798 switch_ivr_originate() H angup sofia/myip/1234@conference.freeswitch.org [CS_HOLD] [NO_ANSWER] 2007-04-12 10:46:05 [INFO] switch_channel.c:1026 switch_channel_perform_hangup() Kill sofia/myip/1234@conference.freeswitch.org [KILL] 2007-04-12 10:46:16 [DEBUG] switch_ivr_originate.c:871 switch_ivr_originate() Or iginate Cancelled by originator termination Cause: 19 [NO_ANSWER] 2007-04-12 10:46:16 [DEBUG] switch_core_state_machine.c:351 switch_core_session_ run() (sofia/myip/1234@conference.freeswitch.org) State HANGUP 2007-04-12 10:46:16 [DEBUG] mod_sofia.c:212 sofia_on_hangup() Channel sofia/82.2 2.75.210/1234@conference.freeswitch.org hanging up, cause: NO_ANSWER 2007-04-12 10:46:16 [INFO] mod_bridgecall.c:76 audio_bridge_function() Originate Failed.
