[Asterisk-Users] Getting netmeeting to work with Asterisk

[Dan]

Hi Simon.,

They are two H.323 channels available:
- h323, included with asterisk package
- oh323 available from inAccess Networks
(http://www.inaccessnetworks.com/projects/asterisk-oh323)

I think that you only need to change oh323 with h323, but I am not sure
about that.

Unfortunately I cannot help you with h323 one because I have not install it
till now.
My first try was with OH323 and it works....
It is possible to be some differences in configuration between the two...

Just put in NM advanced configuration your Asterisk as a gateway.
You will be able then to call any extension from your PBX just putting the
extension number in CALL field (not an IP address) of NM.

BR,
Dan
