[Asterisk-Users] Symbol NetVision phone with chan_h323 - Complete Success!

[Wade Weppler]

I setup an exten as follows:

 

Exten => 100,1,Dial,H323/100 at 192.168.0.100

 

Where [100] is configured as a friend or user in h323.conf.  If the IP is
dynamic, I can't seem to just use exten => 100,1,Dial,H323/100.  Maybe
Jeremy can comment?

Hi Wade,

 

How have you done to be able to call the H.323 phone from another extension?

I have tested H.323 gateway with Netmeeting and it works great, but I don't
know how to do to call NM from another extension (a hardware SIP phone).

 

Thanks,

Dan

Just thought I'd share my success with chan_h323 and our Symbol NetVision
phone (4046-100-US).

 

Voice quality is excellent, and setup was trivial.  The new NetVision
firmware (4.21) is much better than the 3.x stuff.  It gives the phone a
whole new look and feel.

 

The hardest (and longest) part was getting OpenH323 compiled.  After that,
H.323 ran out of the box.  I simply uncommented the global context=default
line in h323.conf, and voila!

 

And, in case anyone else is interested in the NetVision, you can program it
without the need for Symbol's horrible Windows software.  You simply connect
the serial cable, and use a terminal program at 9600,N,8,1,no flow control.
Turn the phone on, and hit enter a few times, and you'll get a ">" prompt.
Hit "?" to see a menu of available commands.

 

The key for setting up the NetVision is to set the "gateway" address to the
IP of the Asterisk box.  You don't need a gatekeeper, unless you want to use
e164 or prefix tags in h323.conf
