Hi. I’m trying to run asterisk with H323 or ooH323, but with all my attempts I seem to get the following: [code]asterisknow\*CLI\> core show channeltypes Type Description Devicestate Indications Transfer * * * ## IAX2 Inter Asterisk eXchange Driver (Ver 2) yes yes yes Phone Standard Linux Telephony API Driver no yes no SIP Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) yes yes yes Agent Call Agent Proxy Channel yes yes no MGCP Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) yes yes no Bridge Bridge Interaction Channel no no no Console OSS Console Channel Driver no yes no DAHDI DAHDI Telephony Driver w/PRI & SS7 & MFC no yes no USTM UNISTIM Channel Driver no yes no Skinny Skinny Client Control Protocol (Skinny) yes yes no Local Local Proxy Channel Driver yes yes no 11 channel drivers registered.[/code] Given that I have installed asterisk16-addons-ooh323 `[root@asterisknow ~]# rpm -qa | grep asterisk16 asterisk16-addons-ooh323-1.6.2.1-1_centos5 asterisk16-addons-mysql-1.6.2.1-1_centos5 asterisk16-addons-core-1.6.2.1-1_centos5 asterisk16-addons-bluetooth-1.6.2.1-1_centos5 asterisk16-core-1.6.2.12-1_centos5 asterisk16-voicemail-1.6.2.12-1_centos5 asterisk16-dahdi-1.6.2.12-1_centos5 asterisk16-1.6.2.12-1_centos5 asterisk16-doc-1.6.2.12-1_centos5 asterisk16-configs-1.6.2.12-1_centos5` And the channel bin shows in the correct path `[root@asterisknow ~]# ls /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/chan* /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/chan_agent.so /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/chan_bridge.so /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/chan_dahdi.so /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/chan_iax2.so /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/chan_local.so /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/chan_mgcp.so /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/chan_mobile.so /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/chan_ooh323.so /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/chan_oss.so /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/chan_phone.so /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/chan_sip.so /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/chan_skinny.so /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/chan_unistim.so` I have installed 5 asterisk servers so far, all with the same results: 1. CentOS 5.5 x86\_64, with asterisk and digium repos (Asterisk 1.6) 2. CentOS 5.5 x86\_64, with asterisk and digium repos (Asterisk 1.8) 3. Elastix 4. AsteriskNOW 1.7 (Asterisk 1.6) 5. CentOS 5.5 x86\_64, with Asterisk 1.6 source, PTLib source, and h323PLUS source, compiled (failed, as make menuselect in Asterisk’s compilation still does not recognize the H323 channel, even though compilation of the previous 2 went fine, and I exported OPENH323DIR) I have tried ignoring the fact that the channel is not listed on core show channeltypes, and went ahead and configured h323.conf, extensions.conf, and tried an actual call via the H323, which gave me a “channel not recognized” on Asterisk’s console. Any help is appreciated. Thx. ---

Not h323.conf, but ooh323.conf should be used. Google “ooh323.conf” to see how to do it. ---

> [@fornever](#): > > Not h323.conf, but ooh323.conf should be used. Yes, but should anything show on “core show channeltypes”? I suspect there should be a channel type called something like OOH323. Because, if there should be, then I’ll go back and try to compile asterisk from scratch, otherwise, I will go on configuring ooh323.conf, and debug from there. Thanks. ---

No ooh323.conf, no “OOH323” in “core show channeltypes”. ooh323 channel driver will not be registered, unless ooh323.conf is configured properly. > [@ramymamlouk](#): > > [quote=“fornever”]Not h323.conf, but ooh323.conf should be used.

Thank you very much, that seemed to work. And just for reference, in case anyone else has the same issue: 1. Since chan\_ooh323.so is currently unsupported in Asterisk 1.6, its conf file is not automatically created. 2. I created /etc/asterisk/ooh323.conf manually, and placed the following in it (from an example off the internet): `[root@asterisknow ~]# cat /etc/asterisk/ooh323.conf [general] faststart=yes h245tunneling=yes gatekeeper=DISALBE bindaddr=0.0.0.0 port=1719` 3. In Asterisk’s console, you have to load the module using "module load chan\_ooh323.so" 4. If it loads successfully without any errors, it should come up in the list of channel types [code]asterisknow\*CLI\> core show channeltypes Type Description Devicestate Indications Transfer * * * ## OOH323 Objective Systems H323 Channel Driver no yes no IAX2 Inter Asterisk eXchange Driver (Ver 2) yes yes yes Phone Standard Linux Telephony API Driver no yes no SIP Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) yes yes yes Agent Call Agent Proxy Channel yes yes no MGCP Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP) yes yes no Bridge Bridge Interaction Channel no no no Console OSS Console Channel Driver no yes no DAHDI DAHDI Telephony Driver w/PRI & SS7 & MFC no yes no USTM UNISTIM Channel Driver no yes no Skinny Skinny Client Control Protocol (Skinny) yes yes no Local Local Proxy Channel Driver yes yes no 12 channel drivers registered.[/code] Thanks again, I will proceed with my configuration and will tell you how it goes. ---
