Your FreeSWITCH note came to me in 'digest' mode with other postings. So I think that this Reply will likely start a new thread when I hoped that it would not. So my apologies if this doesn't work as desired. Regardless, it seems like whenever I find a problem and report, I subsequently find a more basic problem which likely results in that which I reported. ================================================ Anyway, I still cannot get my Outbound calls to work. But at a more basic level, I find that when I do: sofia status I see that my gateway ( velocity-outbound ) is being reported as NOREG which I assume to be Not Registered and therefore Will Not Work. Name Type Data State ================================================================================ external-ipv6 profile sip:mod_sofia@[2002:6b01:26bd::6b01:26bd]:5080 RUNNING (0) external-ipv6::example.com gateway sip:joeuser@example.com NOREG external-ipv6::velocity-outbound gateway sip:FreeSWITCH@<SIP IP Here> NOREG <FS IP Here> alias internal ALIASED external profile sip:mod_sofia@<FS IP Here>:5080 RUNNING (0) external::example.com gateway sip:joeuser@example.com NOREG external::velocity-outbound gateway sip:FreeSWITCH@<SIP IP Here> NOREG internal-ipv6 profile sip:mod_sofia@[2002:6b01:26bd::6b01:26bd]:5060 RUNNING (0) internal profile sip:mod_sofia@<FS IP Here>:5060 RUNNING (0) ================================================================================ I contacted my SIP line vendor and ran a test. It seems that in spite of my using external-ipv6.xml they saw the INVITE come in from my FreeSWITCH and they responded with a 200 OK But they never saw anything else come back to them after that with which to complete the 'handshake' Interesting enough within external-ipv6.xml I modified it so that it would <gateways> would include nothing And within external.xml I added the <gateways> to include: <X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="include" data="external/outbound_via_velocity.xml"/> After which I did a full Restart on the FreeSWITCH service And in spite of that I still see in the freeswitch.log: Added gateway 'velocity-outbound' to profile 'external-ipv6' This is a total guess, but I assume that I need to see the velocity-outbound gateway that I am trying to use show up as a REG before I can go any further. If that is correct, how/where would I look to find out what is wrong? BTW: In the conf\dialplan\default directory I did set the other plan's extensions to .txt so that they would be ignored. Thanks TF
