Hi Dan, [and thanks for bearing with me]chan_h323 is the only H.323 channel driver that is distributed with Asterisk. There is a third party H.323 driver that some ppl allegedly have gotten to work, but the main reason why I wrote chan_h323 was because of the many many many many (lets call them) issues with that other driver.
I'm going to top post partly as I may be making a mistake in my
assumptions. I've been mentioning using NM with h323 and editing the
/etc/asterisk/h323.conf and you mention oh323. Perhaps I've been
doing the wrong thing or am trying to configure the wrong "module".
I specifically compiled from asterisk/channels/h323 and followed the?!?!?!?! I don't know what instructions your looking at, but if you would have followed the README in asterisk/channels/h323 you wouldn't have had to copy the lib files over. Now you have to remember to move them into that same directory if you ever update Open H.323 and/or PWlib.
instructions there copying over chan_h323.so and the required pwlib
and h323 lib files to /usr/lib. The make install copies over h323.conf
to /etc/asterisk (not oh323.conf).
RTFM
Currently h323.conf has only:You can build the dialplan however you want. Since you do not have a context keyword in the general section you will need to have user entries for every H.323 ID you want to use on your system. Now, if you had a context in the general section it would send any non-matching users to whatever context you specified.
[general] port = 1720 bindaddr = 0.0.0.0
[laptop] type=friend host=192.168.0.2 context=h323 incominglimit=6 outgoinglimit=4
Should perhaps the context be changed to default to allow incoming calls to Asterisk from this NM client?
Also it is worth stating that chan_h323 doesn't have a definition of a 'peer', so a friend here really only means user. (thus outgoinglimit does nothing)
I did submit documentation for chan_h323 but it seems it has not made it into the Asterisk handbook, yet.
