I was suggested to email here to get some information on getting my
setup going.
I'm running the most current releases of both Asterisk and WengoPhone,
but I'm not having any luck using my Asterisk server with Wengo, even
when I create an account with the 'Other' option. I have an internal
network of about 20 lab computers running Linux, that need to be able
to call each other over the Asterisk server using soft phones.
These computers do not ever connect to the internet, remaining only
ever on the internal network. I have
the server up and running fine with Ekiga and X-lite, and now Twinkle,
but neither of
these seem up to par, although Twinkle works(weak UI). If anyone could
help me I'd appreciate it.
a little more info might be useful, such as "what doesn't work?"
you should be able to get wengo working well with asterisk, provided you
set the correct flags on the device, for example:
[wengouser]
context=default
type=friend
nat=yes ; wengo needs nat=yes when not on the LAN
progressinband=yes ; needed for wengophone
canreinvite=no ; wengo can't reinvite
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
allow=h263
allow=h263p
note that if wengophone is *ever* on the WAN, you'll need 'nat=yes'
(although if you're LAN only, probably not) since the 'other' account
type doesn't do STUN...
you'll also need 'canreinvite=no' because wengo screws up when
reinvited, so your conversations will always have to bounce through
asterisk.
(for LAN only, you *might* get lucky and get 'directrtpsetup=yes'
working (another way of short circuiting the phones). you need
'canreinvite=yes' too to enable this. I'd make sure basic stuff is OK
before trying this though...)
the 'progressinband=yes' is needed because wengo won't make it's own
'ringing' noise when calling someone, we have to get asterisk to do it
for us.
if you want video, you'll need 'videosupport=yes' too.
don't expect wideband codec support with a stock asterisk, the best
you'll get us ULAW. I'm currently cleaning up a patch for asterisk to
make it support wideband speex, which sounds a whole lot better than
narrowband ULAW..
PS. presence will work fine, just set hints properly in asterisk. text
messaging will *not* work.
