I connect to FWD and it’s work, i know it’s in my \*Server Here my sip.conf ; Note: If your SIP devices are behind a NAT and your Asterisk ; server isn’t, try adding “nat=1” to each peer definition to ; solve translation problems.

Start the video on both ends, then place the call on hold, take it off hold, video works. If not, have the other party place you on hold and off again. I don’t know why you have to do this, found it on another forum, works for me. ---

Nick, I have it working at last…Heres the solution Make sure you specify the video codecs in the [general] section of sip.conf [general] videosupport=yes disallow=all allow=alaw allow=h263p In eyebeam make sure you have h263+ selected as h263+ is equal to h263p Also to get the video working you need to press hold on each client first and then the video works. ---

[quote=“mtyoung”]Nick, I have it working at last…Heres the solution [/quote] Lucky you! When I put “videosupport=yes” asterisk thinks taht all phones all allways in use. When I coment this line, I can call SIP softphones normaly. Do you know why this happends? ---

The simple solution to that should be to put the following entry in the config stanza for each non-video phone: disallow=h263p ---

Well, if sip.conf follows the zapata.conf design, then the order matters. Any config below this line would inherit the setting. That’s my guess. But I’ve only been learning Asterisk for about a week, so I don’t really know. SWB ---
