Hello all,

Help a n00b out.    I have been trying to get an instance of FreeSwitch running up in the Amazon EC2 cloud.  

I have successfully gotten the package built following the wiki and archives of this list. 

 I can get x-lite to register with the switch and it will set up calls out on my asterlink account.  The problem is that there is no audio transfer (so I am assuming RTP problem).

The setup:

Firewall open ports

tcp 0-65535

udp 0-65535        --- I tried so many combinations unsuccessfully, I finally just blasted open everything.

In conf/freeswitch.xml   (174.129.201.96  is assigned elastic IP address)

  <X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="include" data="vars.xml"/>

  #set "external_rtp_ip=174.129.201.96" 

  <section name="configuration" description="Various Configuration">

    <X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="include" data="autoload_configs/*.xml"/>

  </section>

In conf/autoload_configs/sofia.conf.xml

<param name="ext-rtp-ip" value="$${external_rtp_ip}"/>

<param name="ext-sip-ip" value="$${external_rtp_ip}"/>

Internal network IP assignment:

Name:   domU-12-31-39-00-84-B6.compute-1.internal

Address: 10.254.139.68

When I setup a call through asterlink, I see this in the system log:

Ring SDP:

v=0

o=FreeSWITCH 1241648830 1241648831 IN IP4 10.254.139.68

s=FreeSWITCH

c=IN IP4 10.254.139.68

t=0 0

m=audio 17654 RTP/AVP 0 101

a=rtpmap:0 PCMU/8000

a=rtpmap:101 telephone-event/8000

a=fmtp:101 0-16

a=silenceSupp:off - - - -

a=ptime:20

a=sendrecv

I do not know SDP parameters off the top of my head, but I am assuming that it is telling Asterlink to route the RTP to the internal network IP address and not the external one.
