Hi Folks,

As I continue to learn configuring FS, I am trying to use FS as a peering switch sending a call to our SBC on the other side of the pond (across the pacific) where the IP address of the FS (in the US) is configured to receive traffic from. In this case no registration is required by the sending gateway to make calls through the system overseas as its IP address is in the “known” gateways (ACL) list.

Two questions:

a) Where must the configuration of this overseas gateway be? Currently I have it in $FREESWITCH_HOME/conf/sip_profiles/external. Is that the right location for it?

b) Looking at the gateway configuration that was present in that directory for the sample gateway, I didn’t see any of the params that were relevant other than the “realm” and maybe the “proxy”. Hence my configuration is extremely simple (2 Lines). As I mentioned, I don’t need to register with the overseas SBC. The problem with this now is that this gateway is not being picked up by FS when I do a reloadxml OR restart FS. On typing “sofia status gateway MyGW”, I get “Invalid Gateway”. Following from this then, when the dialplan is configured to send the call using this gateway, I see the messages like

2010-02-01 12:42:50.138444 [ERR] mod_sofia.c:3108 Invalid Gateway

c) Please note that the call has NOT even left FS so this message is not coming from the remote gateway/SBC as I have a trace running there as well and it never sees the call. Also, when I start FS, I see the error “username is a required param”. Upon entering a bogus username and password field, I am able to load the gateway and the prfile status looks good. However, when I try and make a call I get the following:

2010-02-01 12:49:03.118479 [DEBUG] sofia.c:4011 Channel sofia/external/0061434144942 entering state [terminated][403]

Any ideas?

Thanks
