Hello everybody, First time installer and I need the lists advice. My plan is to use asterisk PBX with some hardware to terminate my calls coming from several operational gnugk gatekeepers. Do have RH9 and downloaded the latest asterisk from CVS. Compiled according instructions and is running fine. Could hardly find any info on h323 implementation untill the REAME in the channels directory. I am an experienced openh323 gatekeeper user so do have good compiled libraries of openh323 and pwlib on my box. Version 1.5.0 and 1.12.0 to be exact. Ran the make in the h323 directory and compile seems to run fine. Than I ran the make install in the asterisk library again and this also went without problems. Ran asterisk but problems finding a h323.conf file. Since there is NO sign of a h323.conf file in the etc/asterisk directory I copied this one manually from the channels/h323 directory. After starting asterisk again with a unconfigured default h323.conf ini file it seems to run ok ; the message is this : [chan_h323.so] => (The NuFone Network's Open H.323 Channel Driver) == Parsing '/etc/asterisk/h323.conf': Found == Creating H.323 Endpoint == Registered channel type 'H323' (The NuFone Network's Open H.323 Channel Driver) == H.323 listener started == Parsing '/etc/asterisk/enum.conf': Found Asterisk Ready. Before I go further configuring the PBX and configuring the gatekeeper that has to route the calls to the PBX I would like to know if there is anybody with experience on RH9 that has good results with this (h323) configuration and if my whole way of implementing the thing was OK? Furthermore I would like to know if there is a good h323 implementation guide somewhere available like an extension on the Asterisk Handbook Project that has some very usefull information but lacking h323 information. ( I read the 71 pages!) Thanks, Tjapko.
Thanks, I will try this tomorrow. I already have these libraries installed on my box.

OK. I tried with 1.12.2 and indeed problem fixed.

Tjapko,
I am kinda new here, too. Let me try to help you out here.
First, most people would not give a second look at your posting because
there are tons of past reference in the list advising people not to use
openh323 1.12.0, pwlib 1.5.0. If you do that you are on your own. That's
what README says.
Also there were many postings advising not to use redhat9. So best bet is to
follow exactly what is said in the Readme file.
Having said that, I did install chan_h323 on a redhat 9, openh323 1.12.0 and
pwlib 1.5.0. And it worked :). What I am doing is allowing my SIP clients to
dial out through h.323. So I do not know other stuff would work or not (like
gatekeeper registration, incoming towards * etc.).
Dial string that you are supposed to use in extensions.conf to call out to a
g/w is as follows
exten => 91xxxxxxxxx,1,Dial(h323/${Exten:1}@gwipadddress)
This did not work for me, so I tried
exten => 91xxxxxxxxx,1,Dial(h323/h323:${Exten:1}@gwipaddress) and it worked.
I do not know what the best cause of action for you, I am just sharing my
experience.
Hope this will help you.
Cheers
SW
