Using Asterisk as H.323 / SIP gateway for the GNU Gatekeeper

Using Asterisk as H.323 / SIP gateway for GnuGk

I was using the SIP channel from Asterisk 1.2.7.1 and the asterisk-ooh323c channel (chan_ooh323) version 0.8.1 in my tests.

let ooh323c register as a gateway

ooh323c can't register gateway prefixes, you should assign them in GnuGk's config

ooh323c doesn't unregister properly from GnuGk when Asterisk is shut down. You should use a low TimeToLive for registrations in your GnuGk config to avoid sending calls to a non-existent gateway.

this channel only supports audio streams

Update 2018-02-07: It seems all of the above is still true for Asterisk 15, except that the chan_ooh323 config file is now called ooh323.conf. Still no support for video.

Please contact me if you need support for H.323 with Asterisk.
