[Asterisk-Users] H.323 Gateway Connection

[Justin Eckhouse]

Hi,

I'm trying to setup Asterisk to allow users to dial out to the PSTN using a
remote box supporting h.323. I'm using chan_h323.so, and I'm able to make
outbound calls to a client like netmeeting with a line like this:

exten => 242,1,Dial(h323/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)

And I'm able to receive incoming calls to asterisk. However I'm not sure how
to route calls to the remote h.323 gateway. In my naïve state I've tried
something like this (xxx is the IP of the h.323 gw): 

exten => 244,1,Dial(h323/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/PSTN-NUMBER-HERE)

When I dial 244, nothing happens, this appears in the console:

    -- Called xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
  == No one is available to answer at this time

Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Justin
