Actually, the vanilla configuration files that come with FreeSWITCH allow you to run it as-is. Where to go from here depends entirely on your needs. Start with vars.xml to set global constants. Most are commented sufficiently in the file. Then the sip_profiles allow you to tweak any settings, where each profile represents a unique i.p. address and port on your system. The directory contains known stations that will register with FS and contains 20 example extensions from 1000 through 1019 to get you started, but by no means limits you. The dialplan has a gazillion examples, many of which you should move to other files to hold them and simplify your learning and troubleshooting. Then just play with it to understand how to read the log output and explore how changes to the configuration files affect the operation of FreeSWITCH. This can be invaluable later on when you need to make changes or troubleshoot a live production switch.

Thank you for your replies I just now copied my FreeSWITCH.log data into the pastebin. Since I had just done a full Re-Install of my FreeSWITCH thereby removing any previous modification attempts, I did not include my dialplan, internal & external xml files. They are now just the after-install defaults. I did that Re-Install out of frustration due to my previous xml file modifications only introducing more problems and solving none. I need to understand: 1. Which xml files to modify and which ones to leave alone 2. How/Where to modify these xml files I sincerely thank you for your assistance. TF
