FreeSWITCH package for pfSense 1.2.1 and 2.0 released. PBX or Proxy

cybrsrfr

For those with a linksys pap2 each phone port has a different port by default example line 1 5060 and line 2 5061. I don't have a zoom yet but I believe it would be the same.

What model of zoom are you using? I've been looking at one zoom that has both 1 fxs and 1 fxo. The feature that really caught my eye was ilbc support. Ilbc codec is comparable to G729 if not better with its audio compression.

I have a model 5822 that was never released fully by them. I was a beta tester for a voip company and they sent it to me. I can find only one setting for local sip port on it. I believe it will only be good for one port.

FreeSWITCH package minor update.

Add International option to the Dialplan Expression tool,
Minor wording changes
Hide Outbound Caller ID on the Extensions tab. Effective Caller ID is used by FreeSWITCH.

New FreeSWITCH build 1.0.2 revision 11245. More modules have been compiled including mod_fax, mod_openzap, and mod_spidermonkey_odbc.

More info can be found on mod_fax at:
http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_fax

In order to use fs_cli you would connect with ssh, then run the following commands. Replace the 192.168.1.1 with your own pfSense LAN IP address. The port and the password are settings that can be configured from the 'Settings' tab.

cd /usr/local/freeswitch/bin
./fs_cli -H 192.168.1.1 -P 8021 -p ClueCon

mcrane: You are putting features in faster than I can play with them.

What's the status on the mod_openzap - if I put a digium card or clone in my machine, will my chances of making it work be reasonable? I have an ebay X100 type clone.

I took a look at the freeswitch wiki and it looks promising, is everything in place in the pfsense package to make this work? Or do I have to manually get the zaptel OS level modules in pfsense? Sorry, seems like a newbie question - but to get a zaptel card in my pfsense box I have to remove the wireless or move pfsense to a different box due to having only the one PCI slot.

I'd rather not go through those steps if it's not something that will work anyways - and I'm tempted to just use all voip anyways and drop the analog line. Still up for debate. Can't wait to look at the fax module.

cybrsrfr

I'm testing mod_openzap right now. I will report the results here.

mrguitar

….I can't wait to play w/ the mod_fax.

I vote that we change mcrane's status from Hero Member to "Super Hero Member."

mcrane,

I might have found a small bug. (sorry if this has already been discussed, I didn't want to re-read this whole thread again)

I uploaded a lot of recordings and setup several IVRs. I noticed that none of the sounds would "stick" in the IVR config screen unless I removed the "Auto" name and renamed them. Once the files were named, the IVRs worked great.
Cheers,
mrguitar

Anytime I try to uninstall the freeswitch package, it seems to hang and never uninstalls. I installed the latest version 0.6 and I think I interrupted the install. Now I cant uninstall it. I simply get the following and it just hangs there.


Removing package... 
Loading package configuration freeswitch.xml... 
Loading package instructions...

Any help would be appreciated.

Scroll down to the bottom of the page and see if there are any errors. If there are then please report the error.

Manual steps to remove the FreeSWITCH package run the following.

pfSense GUI -> Diagnostics -> Command -> PHP Execute

exec("killall -9 freeswitch");
unlink_if_exists("/usr/local/pkg/freeswitch.xml");
unlink_if_exists("/usr/local/pkg/freeswitch.inc");

Didnt even see that error down there.

Warning: delete_package(/usr/local/pkg/freeswitch.inc): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /etc/inc/pkg-utils.inc on line 740 Fatal error: delete_package(): Failed opening required '/usr/local/pkg/freeswitch.inc' (include_path='.:/etc/inc:/usr/local/www:/usr/local/captiveportal:/usr/local/pkg') in /etc/inc/pkg-utils.inc on line 740

cybrsrfr

The error says that it can't find the file /usr/local/pkg/freeswitch.inc which is the include that defines the steps to uninstall the package. The FreeSWITCH package will not work if the freeswitch.inc file is missing. Without that file you will definitely need to run manually remove the package as I described in a previously.

Actually the act of editing the recording no changes and then saving it would fix the problem. In looking into this I found another bug where the guid would change each time the edit page was saved. I have made some change that are available in 0.6.3 that should fix these problems. Please confirm that it is working now.

Anyone using IVR/Recordings is strongly encouraged to upgrade to 0.6.3 or higher.

Could this be a reason my recordings are unusable after upgrading packages?

Thanks for all the hard work Mcrane! ;D :)

cybrsrfr

@chpalmer:

Yes, after upgrading the package it would have also re-generated the guid which would have broken the IVR link to the recordings. To fix it you would have needed to select the recordings again under the IVR tab. This bug should be fixed. If you get a chance please confirm that this bug is fixed.

Thanks for excellent work!
Now I'm testing FreeSWITCH with two VoIP providers: Sipnet (out) and Telphin (in & out).

Have one problem: can't send voicemail to email.

My settings:
SMTP host: my.smtp.server:465
SMTP auth: false
SMTP secure: no
SMTP from: pbx@pfsense.my.domain

On my.smtp.server in maillog found this (related to my pfsense's IP address):
Jan 24 18:25:03 www postfix/smtpd[10206]: connect from unknown[xx.xx.252.153]
Jan 24 18:25:03 www postfix/smtpd[10206]: lost connection after RSET from unknown[xx.xx.252.153]
Jan 24 18:25:03 www postfix/smtpd[10206]: disconnect from unknown[xx.xx.252.153]

cybrsrfr

If you have your own email server to use to send the mail.

Port :465 is for TLS which I'm guess you are not using so your settings would be something like the following. Second thing to keep in mind is that to send email to the mail server without smtp authentication you will have to allow mail relay on your mail server for your pfsense ip address. Mail relay is usually disabled to prevent spammers from using your mail server to send spam.

SMTP host: my.smtp.server
SMTP auth: false
SMTP secure: no
SMTP from: pbx@pfsense.my.domain

The Gmail is a simple example for those that have a Gmail account but don't necessarily have their own mail server.
http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/FreeSWITCH#Voicemail_to_Email

SMTP Host: smtp.gmail.com:465
SMTP Secure: tls
SMTP Auth: true
SMTP Username: Use your gmail email address here.
SMTP Password: Use your gmail email password here.
SMTP From: Use your gmail email address here. It may support any valid email address but this has not been tested.
SMTP From Name: Can be anything you choose. For my example I used: voicemail.

Taras_

All of requirements are ok. I'm able to send mail via telnet my.smtp.server 465 without any problem (while connecting to SMTP server from my pfsense's ip):

telnet my.smtp.server 465
ehlo myhostname
mail from: pbx@pfsense.my.domain
rcpt to: <my extension's="" email="">data
Subject: test
test

I'll try different SMTP server soon.</my>
