[Freeswitch-users] RE Help with Portech <-> Freeswitch (Max Bridgewater)

[Steven Brown]

Hi,

Two ways I've done it (not to say these are the 'correct' ways but
they do work for me after a lot of trial and error) are either to get
the Portech to register on FS as a regular endpoint then  bridge to it
as below

<extension name="gsm">
      <condition field="destination_number" expression="^9(.*)$">
	<action application="set" data="hangup_after_bridge=true"/>
        <action application="bridge" data="sofia/internal/1005^$1@${domain}">

where the Portech registers as 1005 and I prefix the number I wish to
dial with 9

or alternatively just bridge directly to it

<action application="bridge" data="sofia/default/$1 at 192.168.1.3:5060"/>

Where 192.168.1.3 is my Portech

In both cases you need to configure the Portech Lan to Mobile Table as below

Item  URL                 Call Num
0 	192.168.1.2 	#

where 192.168.1.2 is my FS box

This should get things going for one GSM channel, to get multiple
channels running you will have to tweak it differently depending on
the age of the Portech as I've discovered different firmware versions
seem to behave very differently in this respect.

Hope this helps

Steve
