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

chpalmer

Trying to reinstall last night and this morning my box gets to "Loading package configuration… "

and never goes any farther... Ideas?

Running pfSense 2.0

"Fatal error: Cannot create references to/from string offsets nor overloaded objects in /etc/inc/xmlparse.inc on line 68 "

This error is a bug on pfSense 2.0. Try a different snapshot build of pfSense 2.0.

Any suggestions which snap to use for 2.0? The jan 15 version I was using worked for the longest time but now wont.?..

The latest version wont work with the same results…

I'm having issues with inbound calling. Anyone have suggestions?

I've got 2 providers (2 DID), and unknowingly, I have both with the same username.
The problem is that during inbound calls, the destination_number is coming in as my username in freeswitch (both providers). So for my call routing in the public tab, I cannot use destination_number to tell which call is coming in (number is not being recognised). I thought I would use the Network_addr as a condition, but if I put the ip address, it does not find a match, even though it looks like it's right
Regex: [1001] network_addr(66.51.127.173) =~ /(66.51.127.173)/

The numbers are identical, so it has to be a formatting thing.

I also have an issue where if I call in and the calls goes to voicemail, I cannot leave a message. As I talk into the phone to leave the message, it stops and says it is below minimum record length, even thought I am still talking. This is not an issue if I am calling from extension to extension.

Love the software, lots of fun things to play with still….

chpalmer: The snapshots I tested where saved on a laptop that has a power issue and will no longer power up.

tester_02: on the public tab use an anti-action as a catch all then for the action set it to info and leave the data field empty. The go to the console and watch for info a call coming in from each gateway. 'info' will send information to the console which will show in green. You can then use any of that information with the condition and direct your calls accordingly. So all you will need to do is look for something unique among the info to determine how to route the call.

On your voicemail issue it sounds like you are having a one way sound audio problem. You should test by calling another extension inside the same network. It could be simply settings needing to be adjusted on the phone.

The only unique thing that I could get was the ip.
so I set the network_addr to be equal to the ip. That did not work, so I pit the ip to be ^(ip)$ but it does not work. I've looked at some freeswitch forums but it's not leading me to the right direction, I keep getting..
Regex: [1001] network_addr(66.51.127.173) =~ /(66.51.127.173)/

It has to just be a syntax thing. Any idea what the proper sytax could be?

As for the voicemail issue…'ll play with the phone and see what's going on. Strange thing is I can have a conversation on the phone (so I know audio works), it's just the voicemail recorder that does not hear it.

One last question, what do you have for dialplan settings on your phone? Do you blank them out and let freeswitch do the plan?

Thanks again!

Thanks mcrane… I dropped back to 1.2.3 for now. Its working for me.

Just a report:

My provider is getting this line from me now (instead of the standard sip:1234567890@myipaddy:5080;transport=udp)

sip:gw+Voip Line 1@myipaddy:5080;transport=udp

pfsense 1.2.3 package 0.8.3.1

cybrsrfr

pfSense FreeSWITCH package 0.8.3.3

Trimmed whitespaces from freeswith.xml file and other xml files so that FreeSWITCH will now install on pfSense 2.0.

Note:
The latest pfSense 2.0 snapshot now use PHP 5.2.9. This new version of PHP uses an updated libxml which should fix the XML problems that have been experienced in pfSense 2.0.

Was playing some more last night. "The Voip Line 1" comes from my gateway name. Dont know where the gw+ comes from. Is there a way to fix this?

In order for me or anyone else to help you please provide more information on your configuration.

Or try IRC freenode at: #pfsense-freeswitch

chpalmer

Sorry…

1.2.3-PRERELEASE-TESTING-VERSION
built on Tue Mar 3 22:30:29 EST 2009

package now... 0.8.3.3

This is a fresh install of both the firewall and Freeswitch just to make sure...

The config I was using worked up till the last two packages. Ptretty much default otherwise.

Reinstall- Ive tried starting over without any backups from configs.

Provider is pointed back to my gateway name "Voip Line 1" and not my user id. "1231231234"

Anything else I can tell you?

Im lost...

It looks like this topic is the place to ask questions so here it goes.
My issue is I installed a Vertical Xcelerator IP and I want to use the IP phones outside of my network I thought this would be a simple task but it is not with SIP.
I was told by Vertical that UDP/TCP port 5060 and UDP port range 35000 to 65000 needs forwarded and 1:1 NAT needs setup. I looked into 1:1 NAT but the from what I understand I need a second static ip and that is not possible. So in my quest to pull this off I found FreeSWITCH with the proxy option.

What I want to accomplish… Put my SIP/IP/VOIP PBX behind my PFsence and have external hard phone connection + have the PBX connect to a SIP provider. Can FreeSWITCH help me.

Here is my network setup
PFsence 1.2.2
external 207.255.XXX.110/24
internal 192.168.78.1/24
Ip PBX 192.168.78.30

If there is anyone that could advise me on the best solution to get my SIP out on the inernet I would greatly appreciate the help.
Thanks
Jeremy

If you've got the server internal, and the phones external, just forward the ports and you should be fine…you shouldn't need 1:1 or FS proxy, unless I'm missing something.

jflaugh

I think the issue I am having is RTP and NAT no playing nicely I need someting to accept and forward the RTP packets that NAT is not expecting.

thekod

Forwarding rules may do this. I had success doing this another way, see http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,12830.0.html, but I don't know if pieces of that may work for you…

Sorry uploaded the new build but forgot to rename and replace the old one. Remove the package and reload it and you should get the new version that will work.

Hi,

Just for the record: FreeSWITCH is now running here (hasn't been under the latest 2-3 versions).
Am using 0.8.3.4 on pfsense 1.2.2

Cheers,
