Hello We are giving Freeswitch a try in our organization to provide H323 <-> SIP functionality. We have 2 main questions/requests before starting installing/configuring: 1- What would be the most recommended module for H323? I see there are two [opal and mod_h323] both both say that are in development stages. 2- Does FS fully supports virtual interfaces [eth0:1]? I mean: 2- 1 listening on several virtual interfaces, 2-2 replying from the virtual interface that the request came in instead of replying from the primary interface 2-3 and also we need to specify the interface to send the call out instead of using the primary interface Thank you Fabian
Fabian, I would really recommend staying away from H323 on FS. As far as I know, both modules are far from perfect, and you would have to be closely in touch with the devs to get them working as you need. I know people who went for Yate, just to convert H323 into SIP, and then FS. About the virtual interfaces, FS does not have to deal with that. It's the network layer of the Linux kernel which decides which interface to use.

I couldn't get mod_opal to compile (probably because I was on debian lenny at the time). mod_h323 worked better, but did have stability issues. We've actually moved to being 100% SIP now though and it's some time since I tried using either. We used to use Yate as a H323->SIP proxy, the configuration details are here: http://yate.null.ro/pmwiki/index.php?n=Main.H323ToSIPSignallingProxy -Steve On 7 June 2011 13:11, David Ponzone <david.ponzone@ipeva.fr> wrote:

Thank you David for your reply. I guess I'll do that.

You don't define interfaces but the ip-adresses where freeswitch listens on(take a look at external_sip_ip, external_rtp_ip, domain and local_ip_v4 and sip_profiles). So yes, virtual interfaces can be served, several ip's are possible too, but you have to define each of them in separate sip-profiles.

FS will bind to the IP rather than the device. That does mean it'll always send/receive using the IP you set - is that what you're asking? -Steve On 6 June 2011 20:16, Fabian Borot <fborot@hotmail.com> wrote:
