asterisk users - Jun 2003 - Getting netmeeting to work with Asterisk

Hello All,

Finally I realised that the Asterisk demo setup didn't include support for
h323.  (Maybe it should have been obvious) so I went to work out how to
get the h323 channel running.

I had openh323 and pwlib installed as I'd been playing with vocal so it
didn't take long to do cd asterisk/channels/h323; make; make install; make
samples, copy the pwlib and h323 libraries to /usr/lib and restart
asterisk.

I've played with modifying the extensions.conf and h323.conf but don't
have things right. I keep getting a message on the
console:

ERROR[376849]: File chan_h323.c, Line 974 (setup_incoming_call): Call from
user 'Simon' rejected due to no default context

However I am unsure what this really means and how to configure the
extensions to allow incoming and outgoing calls to the netmeeting client.

In h323.conf
did you add sections like

[eanders]
type=friend
context=default
incominglimit=6
outgoinglimit=4

You need the context=default

I'm only guessing here, since I don;t have h323 set up (tho seeing as it
seems
quite easy from your description I may well give it a go). In your h323.conf I
assume
much like a sip.conf entry you have to define a phone and give it a context e.g.
in
sip.conf:

[phone1]
type=friend
host=dynamic
defaultip=192.168.11.190
context=sip

note the last line context=sip. Then in my extenstions.conf file I have a
section:

[sip]

which matches the context of the phone, this is where my extensions are defined.

Do you have en entry for your netmeeting client in the h323.conf? and a
corresponding
entry in extensions.conf?

Again this could all be guff since I don;t have h323 setup, but it strikes me as
a fairly
logical error if you have no matching context in your extensions.conf...

I was trying to be funny, guess I failed :(
