Objective Systems asterisk-ooh323c driver for supporting H323 on asterisk Thank you for downloading Objective Systems H323 driver for asterisk. This package contains a driver which will enable ooh323c, a C based open source H.323 stack from Objective Systems(www.obj-sys.com/open), to be used with asterisk, an open source IP-PBX solution, from Digium, Inc.(www.asterisk.org) Capabilities supported: ulaw, gsm, g728, g729, g729a, g723.1, rfc2833 Package Contents: asterisk-ooh323c-0.5 | |-src [H323 channel driver code] | |_ooh323c [ooh323c stack code] How to build: ------------- 1. If you hadn't installed asterisk yet, To build this package successfully, you have to have latest version of asterisk installed on your system. You can skip to step 2, if you have already installed the asterisk. Following precedure help you download and install asterisk 1.2.x To get latest asterisk sources from svn branch 1.2: >svn checkout http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/branches/1.2 asterisk-1.2 To install asterisk.(You will have to be in 'super user' mode for this) >cd asterisk >make install >make samples 2. To build asterisk-ooh323c addons To update or if you hadn't downloaded the asterisk-ooh323c channel driver code, you can do so using following command (To get the latest asterisk-addons 1.2 branch source from svn): >svn checkout http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk-addons/branches/1.2 asterisk-addons-1.2 To build & install: >cd asterisk-addons-1.2/asterisk-ooh323c >./configure >make For debugging purpose, instead of "make", run "make debug" The library will be generated at asterisk-addons-1.2/asterisk-ooh323c/.libs/libchan_h323.so.1.0.1 To install libchan_h323.so in /usr/libs/modules/ directory, change to 'super user' mode and then run: >make install 3. Open h323.conf.sample in asterisk-ooh323c-0.5 directory. Under [general] you will see global configuration setting. Modify IP addresses of asterisk server "bindaddr" to match your configuration. 4. To install sample h323.conf in /etc/asterisk >make sample 5. Now run asterisk as >/usr/sbin/asterisk -vvvc 6. From asterisk console To check whether H323 channel is registered properly CLI>show channeltypes To see all the defined H323 users. CLI>ooh323 show users To see details of a specific user CLI>ooh323 show user myuser1 To see all the defined peers CLI>ooh323 show peers To see details of a specific peer CLI>ooh323 show peer mypeer1 Getting Started with some simple examples: ----------------------------------------- First stop asterisk as follows: CLI>stop now Now to run tests, you will have to copy extensions.conf.sample in asterisk-ooh323c-0.5 directory to /etc/asterisk as extensions.conf. Make sure to save a backup copy of your existing extensions.conf. Now restart the pbx as follows: >/usr/sbin/asterisk -vvvc Now you have asterisk with our sample dial plan running. Test1: -------- Someone from outside calls into asterisk server and a recorded message is playedback to him. 1. Now you need an h323 phone(phone1) to test. You can use any H323 phones including NetMeeting or OpenH323 based ohphone. You can download ohphone executable from http://www.openh323.org/code.html#linux or http://www.openh323.org/code.html#windows 2. Now run ohphone as follows: >ohphone -n -ttttt -o trace.log <ip address of asterisk server> Test2: -------- A registered users calls into asterisk server at a particular extension and a different messages is played back to him. 1. Use ohphone as a registered user myuser1 to call extension 100 in asterisk as follows: >./ohphone -n -u myuser1 -tttt -o trace.log 100@<ip of asterisk server> The ohphone will send call to asterisk, which will identify the user as myuser1, and use the users context to handle extension 100, which playbacks a pre-recorded message. Test3: -------- A registered user calls an extension which belongs to a peer and the call is routed to the peer's phone 1. Use one more h323 phone (phone2)as a peer. 2. Stop asterisk as: CLI>stop now 3. Open /etc/asterisk/h323.conf. Modify ip/port of mypeer1 to match those of the h323 phone you are going to use as peer. 4. Run your peer phone phone2 as follows: >./ohphone -n -u mypeer1 -tttttt -o trace.log -l This keeps phone2 in listen mode. 5. Now run asterisk as follows: >/usr/sbin/asterisk -vvvc 6. Check details of peer for ip/port CLI>ooh323 show peer mypeer1 7. Now use phone1 to make a call to asterisk at extension 101 as follows. >./ohphone -n -u myuser1 -ttttt -o trace.log 101@<ip of asterisk> Reporting Problems: If you have any further questions or comments on what you would like to see in the product or what is difficult to use or understand, please communicate them to us.
