Hi I would like to allow a person with a softphone app to register with Freeswitch (extension 1111) when they are outside the office network. I would like to to implement this using an external profile. According to the wiki page (http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/External_profile) I just need to create a copy of the "conf/sip_profiles/external.xml" file and change the port number to 5090 (and also open the port on the modem). When I do a "sofia status", this new gateway does not show up and to be honest, I don't quite understand how that works and what else to read to make sense of what to do. What are the ways in which other Freeswitch admins are granting access to external devices? ps. just to confirm, do I set external_rtp_ip and external_sip_ip to the fix IP address that my ISP has given me - the one that is shown by www.whatsmyip.org? Please help Thanks O.
After you add the external profile you need to reloadxml and then you need to start the profile - assuming you didn't just restart FreeSWITCH or reload mod_sofia. -MC On Mon, Jun 18, 2012 at 7:06 AM, ocset <ocset@the800group.com> wrote:

Thanks Michael I found my mistake. I had copied the new external5090.xml file into the external directory and not into the same directory as external.xml. After restating FreeSWITCH, I can now see the new profile: external5090 profile sip:mod_sofia@192.168.0.16:5090 RUNNING (0) I have removed the <gateway> section as I presume I don't need these gateways to be loaded for my new profile? <gateways> <X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="include" data="external/*.xml"/> </gateways> Does the external softphone just connect using an existing user/ext or do I now somehow create a gateway that limits which users are exposed to the internet. Thanks again for your guidance. O On 18/06/12 22:56, Michael Collins wrote:

Correct, the gateways section is only if you wish to create gateways to connect to other servers. Since you plan to use this profile only for inbound registrations you're fine. This profile can utilize existing users from your user directory. -MC On Mon, Jun 18, 2012 at 9:06 AM, ocset <ocset@the800group.com> wrote:

Does reload mod_sofia harm any calls in progress?
