Sorry gentlemen... for the late reply. The correct syntax to make a call through the h323 channel is: DIAL(OH323/the_extension_number)
It can also be: DIAL(OH323/the_Extension_at_domain_name_or_ip_address) This depends whether you are connecting as Gatekeeper or Gateway. You need to find out from your provider how you will be connecting. They will be able to assist you with the info. Lloyd: Please find out from your carrier how they are authenticating you. Whether IP to IP... and if it is IP to IP and/or MAC address -- then you will not be able to connect if your IP address has changed. On the non-technical note... there are enough providers out there that offer termination in SIP ... and is H323 absolutely a MUST ?? I normally get the impression that the providers who are pushing towards H323 are not keeping up to date with technology... Unless.... you are trying to connect your Asterisk with Rogers Phone service... or Comwave (Bombwave) which is H323 proprietary.

I'm trying to connect to a provider too. I've changed my ooh323 accordingly but I think I may need to change my extensions.conf file too. Did you have to do anything in your extensions.conf? By the way, i did set up a custom trunk. On 7/4/06, Reza - Asterisk Enthusiast < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hello Michael: Hope all is well. Unfortunately I do not have any detailed installation guide on the h323 installation - though I regret not logging and documenting what I did to get it working. But all I did was follow the instructions in their README file. To be honest, my knowledge on Trixbox / * @home is limited so I can't comment on h323 install on it. It is an impressive package for people with limited Linux knowledge, but an intermediate to advanced Linux/Solaris sys admin, would easily recognize the limitations. I installed it sometime ago and quite frankly, I was not happy with the limitations I faced. However, it serves the purpose of a basic PBX system for a residence or a small business. You install and boom... you are ready to start creating extensions for internal users. As per your other personal email you sent me earlier, if you are interested in a plain vanilla installation of Linux & Asterisk... it does not require you to be an expert sys admin. Try to install Ubuntu Linux - as it is a rock solid Debian flavour and easy to install. Assuming you have the pre-requisite packages installed, installing Asterisk is pretty straight forward process. If you don't have the pre-requisites installed, there is something called "Synaptic Package Manager", which is pretty easy to follow - to install all pre-requisite dependencies. The basic Linux commands you need to have a strong grasp in are: cd, ls, mv, ln, cp, mkdir, make, make install, and tar. If you can get a strong grasp on these 9 commands, you will find it easy to navigate through the Linux file system... and that included, understanding error messages, is really all there is to it. During a compilation process of a Linux software, you get errors because there are some dependencies missing... and once again... the trick to correct those errors is to recognize the dependencies by understanding the error messages. I regret I am not much help with this h323 thingy... but try to do a " show channeltypes " in your asterisk and see if there is any reference to an h323 or oh323. This will display all the available channel types already installed in your trixbox. If you find references to an h323 or oh323, your h323 is already installed... and all there is left is for you to configure your oh323 channel through the oh323.conf configuration file. Chances are quite high... that you have oh323 pre-installed, considering you have your oh323.conf in your /etc/asterisk directory. Cheers!

Do you have any detailed instructions to installing this and getting it working? I have a provider who is only h323 so I have to get this working. I know that my Trixbox has Asterisk Addons so I have the oh323.conf files but I dont think I have the channel drivers in place. Some detailed instructions may help me and others on this forum out greatly!.. Thanks in advance! Michael
