asterisk-oh323 (chan_oh323) is developed and tested on a mixture
of different systems (x86, sparc, StrongARM), so it is know to work
fine with on all of these.

Regarding the configuration of chan_oh323 (oh323.conf),
start with all v2, v3,v4 features turned off

fastStart=no
h245Tunnelling=no
h245inSetup=no

Assuming that you have a GK, specify this in oh323.conf:

gatekeeper=DISCOVER

Specify a default context in [general] section:

context=voip-h323

In [register] section declare some aliases of * :

alias=123
alias=456

In [codecs] section declare the codecs supported by
H.323 in Asterisk. Start with G711A or G711U (assuming
that this is supported by your GW):

codec=G711U

First, you should verify that Asterisk registers to
the GK. You can do this by checking the GK or from
within Asterisk:

*CLI> oh323 show conf

Now you will have to setup your extensions.conf. For
incoming H.323 calls (to Asterisk) place extensions
to handle the aliases you specified in oh323.conf:

[voip-h323]
exten => 123,1,Playback(demo-congrats)
exten => 456,1,Dial(IAX/someuser at somemachine)

For outgoing H.323 calls (from Asterisk)

exten => 999,1,Dial(OH323/555)   ; 555 is a registered alias
                                  ; of another H.323 phone (e.g. NM)


Hope that helps
