Hi people,

Someone have already used asterisk with Nextone?
I`m trying to use it, but there are some problems.. One of these are
when we set up a connection between Nextone and Asterisk using H323, we
use our asterisk server as a Softswitch in the Nextone configuration, so
it doesn`t work. But, when we just change (in Nextone configuration)
from Softswitch to Gateway, it work. Where is the difference?
I`m using chan_ooh323 in my asterisk server. This is my ooh323.conf:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[general]
;Default - 1720
;port=1720
bindaddr= IP_ADDRESS

;This parameter indicates whether channel driver should register with
;gatekeeper as a gateway or an endpoint.
;Default - no
;gateway=yes

;Whether asterisk should use fast-start and tunneling for H323 connections.
;Default - yes
;faststart=no
;h245tunneling=no

;H323-ID to be used for asterisk server
;Default - Asterisk PBX
h323id=GW2
e164=1521#

;CallerID to use for calls
;Default - Same as h323id
callerid=MediaXChange 1.0

;Whether this asterisk server will use gatekeeper.
;Default - DISABLE
;gatekeeper = DISCOVER
;gatekeeper = a.b.c.d
;gatekeeper = 189.44.163.125

logfile=/var/log/asterisk/h323_log
context=default
disallow=all
allow=g729
allow=g723
dtmfmode=rfc2833

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyone know what can I do? or what am I doing wrong???
Thank`s a lot for the opportunity.

Any reason in particular why you don't use SIP between your Asterisk and
NexTone? This is how I have ours connected and it works well. The only
issue I've experienced is that some of the carriers that only support g729
AB have trouble with the dtmf tones from g729A, but this is not SIP
specific.

The meaning of "softswitch" in the Nextone is that it will try and use
whatever protocol the corresponding Ingress/Egress side is set for. That
means, if you place/receive a call from/to Asterisk, and route to an
endpoint doing SIP, the Nextone will expect Asterisk to speak SIP. If
you place/receive a call to/from an endpoint using H.323, it will expect
Asterisk to speak H.323.

When you use "softswitch", the Nextone is much more forgiving about what
it passes through also, expecting that your softswitch on the far side
will take care of the issues.

If you only want to use H.323 with Asterisk, you should configure it as
an H.323 gateway. Why are you trying to set "softswitch"?

That is how all of our systems are configured with Asterisk and ooh323.
Works very well and very stable.
