About

Freeswitch is a scalable open source cross-platform telephony platform designed to route and interconnect popular communication protocols using audio, video, text or any other form of media. It was created in 2006 to fill the void left by proprietary commercial solutions. FreeSWITCH also provides a stable telephony platform on which many applications can be developed using a wide range of free tools


Installation

Both the Freeswitch and Epel repositories have to be anabled. Please enable these repositories first. After enabling the above repositories, one can install Freeswitch and it's dependencies with yum:

yum install --nogpgcheck freeswitch-config-vanilla --enablerepo=freeswitch --enablerepo=,epel

This will install about 60 RPM's with an installed size of 35M.


Configuration

Adding Freeswitch as a service and open ports

To automatically start Freeswitch at boot and configure the ports:

ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/e-smith-service /etc/rc7.d/S99freeswitch
config set freeswitch service 
config setprop freeswitch status enabled
config setprop freeswitch access private
config setprop freeswitch UDPPorts "5060,5070,5080,3478,3479,16384:32768"
config setprop freeswitch TCPPorts "5066,7443"

You can toggle the access property to enable public/private access. Then to apply the new service:

signal-event remoteaccess-update

Freeswitch can now be started and stopped with

service freeswitch start
service freeswitch stop
