View source for HOWTO SET UP TRIXBOX AS H323 GATEWAY

== H323 to SIP ==


This is the stepwise procedure to set up a VoIP communication from a SIP client to a H323 client.

* Start your gatekeeper. For Gnugk do on a command line
 gnugk -ttt -rr

* Start asterisk
* Make sure the file ooh323.conf is present in /etc/asterisk
* In ooh323.conf you have to change:

 gateway = yes
 gatekeeper = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (ip address of your gatekeeper)

In FreePBX -> Setup -> Extensions:

* Create a SIP extension (e.g. extension 501)
* Create a Custom extension:
 Extension number: 601
 Displayname: Anneke h323
 Dial: OOH323/601@129.125.71.172 (ip-address of machine where extension can be found)

(Our convention is to have our SIP extensions in the 5xx range, and H323 extension in the 6xx range). 

(Asterisk saves these extensions in the file extensions_additional.conf in the [ext-local] context).

* At asterisk prompt
 amportal stop
 amportal start

Your gatekeeper should produce output on the command line telling you that ObjSysAsterisk is registering.

ObjSysAsterisk is the h323id of the trixbox as specified in ooh323.conf. (If for some reason you want to register more trixboxes with the gatekeeper you should give each of them a unique h323id in ooh323.conf).

* Open your X-lite and configure it like you always would for a given TrixBox
* Open Gnomemeeting:
* Goto Edit -> Preferences -> H323 settings -> Gatekeeper settings
 Registering method: Gatekeeper host
 Gatekeeper host: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (fill in the IP address of your gatekeeper)
 Gatekeeper alias: 601 (number of your h323 extension as you registered it in FreePBX)
 Check: register this alias as the primary alias with the gatekeeper
 Click on Apply
Your gatekeeper should now produce output on the command line telling you that extension 601 (with the personal data you filled in) is registering.

* Go to your X-lite and dial 601

At this point the H323 client Gnomemeeting should ring; after accepting the VoIP call, the conversation can start :)

== SIP to H323 ==


This is the stepwise procedure to set up a VoIP communication from a H323 client to a SIP client.

* Modify the configuration file of the GnuGK gatekeeper (''/etc/gatekeeper.ini'') as follows (you may choose other values for parameters ''Name''):

 ; comments may start with # (only unix) or ; (unix or windows)
 
 ;; Boolean values.
 ;; Boolean Values are retresented by a case insensitive string
 ;; - "t"..., "y"... or "1" for TRUE
 ;; - all other for FALSE
 
 ;; NOTE: This parameters may be loaded at program startup and not influenced by the HUP signal.

 ;; The parameter "rule" may be one of the following:

 ;;
 ;; Currently supported modules:
 ;;
 ;;   SimplePasswordAuth/SQLPasswordAuth
 ;;
 ;;                       The module checks the tokens or cryptoTokens
 ;;                       fields of RAS message. The tokens should contain
 ;;                       at least generalID and password. For cryptoTokens,
 ;;                       cryptoEPPwdHash tokens hashed by simple MD5 and 
 ;;                       nestedcryptoToken tokens hashed by HMAC-SHA1-96
 ;;                       (libssl must be installed!) are supported now.
 ;;                       The ID and password are read from [SimplePasswordAuth] section 
 ;;                       for SimplePasswordAuth or from an SQL database 
 ;;                       for SQLPasswordAuth. Backward compatibility is maintained
 ;;                       and the old MySQLPasswordAuth is also supported.
 ;;
 ;;   AliasAuth/SQLAliasAuth
 ;;
 ;;                       The IP of an endpoint with given alias should
 ;;                       match a specified pattern. For AliasAuth the pattern 
 ;;                       is defined in [RasSrv::RRQAuth] section. For SQLAliasAuth
 ;;                       the authentication condition strings are read 
 ;;                       from an SQL database. Backward compatibility is maintained
 ;;                       and the old MySQLAliasAuth is also supported.
 ;;
 ;;   PrefixAuth
 ;;
 ;;                       RRQ or ARQ requests can be checked for a specific
 ;;                       aliases combination, IP address or destination prefix.
 ;;
 ;;   RadAuth/RadAliasAuth
 ;;
 ;;                       The H.235 username/password from RRQ/ARQ message
 ;;                       or endpoint alias/IP from RRQ/ARQ/Setup message
 ;;                       is used to authenticate an endpoint/a call using
 ;;                       RADIUS server.
 ;;
 ;; A rule may results in one of the three codes: ok, fail, pass.
 ;;
 ;;   ok         The request is authenticated by this module
 ;;   fail       The authentication fails and should be rejected
 ;;   next       The rule cannot determine the request
 ;;
 ;; There are also three ways to control a rule:
 ;;
 ;;   optional      If the rule cannot determine the request, it is passed
 ;;                 to next rule.
 ;;   required      The requests should be authenticated by this module,
 ;;                 or it would be rejected. The authenticated request would
 ;;                 then be passwd to next rule.
 ;;   sufficient    If the request is authenticated, it is accepted,
 ;;                 or it would be rejected. That is, the rule determines
 ;;                 the fate of the request. No rule should be put after
 ;;                 a sufficient rule, since it won't take effect.
 ;;
 ;; You can also configure a rule to check only for some particular RAS
 ;; messages. For example, to configure SimplePasswordAuth as a required
 ;; rule to check RRQ, ARQ and LRQ:
 ;; SimplePasswordAuth=required;RRQ,ARQ,LRQ

* In ooh323.conf you have to change:

 gateway = yes
