But you need to add the park application in the dialplan, so it won't exit too early. The park applications just places the call inside a loop, to let you do whatever you want to from ESL. 2013/12/27 Yisroel M. Olewski <yisroel@machshevet.com> From http://lists.freeswitch.org/pipermail/freeswitch-users/2011-October/077209.h tml "if you want to control an incoming call (a call that hits an extension managed by freeswitch) you'll be better served by using a socket outbound connection. Off course this is from a design perspective, not because there are limitations when using an inbound connection." Is he wrong? Is there any documentation this way or the other? Changing to outbound is really a last resort, as this would disallow me to just connect to any arbitrary freeswitch instance at will But rather requires freeswitch having precise knowledge of my application While im considering outbound, I see that I have in my event_socket file: <configuration name="event_socket.conf" description="Socket Client"> <settings> <param name="nat-map" value="false"/> <param name="listen-ip" value="0.0.0.0"/> <param name="listen-port" value="8021"/> <param name="password" value="mypass"/> <!-- <param name="apply-inbound-acl" value="lan"/> --> </settings> </configuration> Could this be confusing freeswitch to think I'm using outbound?

As you can see from the log there are no dialplan matches found so FS responds with a 480. When using outbound mode you put the socket app in the dialplan so that FS knows to hand over the call handling to your ESL client. On Thu, Dec 26, 2013 at 7:15 AM, Yisroel M.

It seems fs is totally ignoring the incoming commands if there's a way to use inbound (which should be according to the docs) I'd rather not switch around the whole architecture just right now If there won't be any other choice, I guess I'll try that Thank again Sincerely, Yisroel M.

See the mod_event_socket wiki page and the sample code in the managed_esl project for more information.

Freeswitch ignores entirely my commands. It picks up, and immediately hangs up because it has finished the whole dialplan I'd appreciate your help.
