GNU Gatekeeper (GnuGk)

Hi all,=20

I've compiled the gatekeeper from source in the hope of adding some kind of=
 dynamic bandwidth control.=20

My question is, why 1280??? Is this a random number that sounded good??? Or=
 is there some reason. Is there a unit to 1280?=20

Also, am I correct to assume that if I do change this value, it won't reall=
y have an impact on the actual bandwidth PHYSICALLY allocated or used on th=
e network???=20

It appears (and I could be wrong), that this "allocation" of 1280 is more f=
or THEORETICAL control over the number of calls/bandwidth used. That is, yo=
u state the Total Bandwidth
in the config file, every time you make a call it takes 1280 off the total,=
 and when it runs out the gatekeeper denies a new call. So if I change this=
 value, it will have an affect on=20
the gatekeepers decision on whether to allow a new call, and it will change=
 how much bandwidth is left, but it won't actually change the PHYSICAL band=
width used.=20
In other words, it's all relative... Am I right???=20

The whole reason I'm asking is because I want to set the values to somethin=
g relevant. i.e. If codec is G.711, set the bandwidth to 87.2 Kbps, etc. So=
 should I set the BW to 87200 for this case?=20
Or convert it to bytes? Do I need to maintain a unit? eg Kbps.......I don't=
 know.=20

Any help???=20

Thanks heaps,=20

Bec

Hi Simon,=20

Thanks for that!!!... A question... the gnugk.iss file is the 2.2.5 version=
 (comes with gnugk2.2.6), is there a 2.2.6 version of gnugk.iss???=20

It's just that there are errors such as that there is no billing.pl or .cvs=
ignore in v2.2.6. It's all good, I can just take these lines out of the gnu=
gk.iss file, I just wanted to check is these functions were actually remove=
d in the newer version of gnugk, or whether I should still be leaving them =
in gnugk.iss but change the path (I don't know where they are, if they exis=
t).=20

Also, when you said to 'Extract the existing v2.2.6 zip file into contrib\W=
inInstaller\GnuGk\' did you mean the whole gnugk2.2.6 source package? It's =
just that it seems weird to be copying a whole package into itself. Am I un=
derstanding you correctly???=20

There was no existing \bin directory, so I created one and placed my gnugk.=
exe, addpasswd.exe and gatekeeper.ini in there... yes??? Am I doing it righ=
t???=20

Thanks again!!!=20

Bec

Rebecca Make sure you release your changes back to the community as GnuGk i=
s GNU licenced... Now that is out of the way :) Download istool from http://www.is=
tool.org and open the gnugk.iss file. Extract the existing v2.2.6 zip file =
into contrib\WinInstaller\GnuGk\ then replace the bin\gnugk.exe from the zi=
p file with your build then create the install package with istool. Simon  =

Hi,=20

I have downloaded the GnuGK   source code and compiled it with Microsoft Vi=
sual C++ (along with pwlib, etc).  =20
I have built it from scratch because I wanted to edit the source code to   =
provide some kind of dynamic bandwidth control. (That's another matter :)  =
 )

This creates gnugk.exe in C:\Program   Files\gnugk-2.2.6\Release

At the moment I have simply moved this   gnugk.exe to the directory:=20
C:\Program Files\C:\Program   Files\gnugk-2.2.6\contrib\WinInstaller\Instal=
l
where the gatekeeper.ini   file is located, and to run the gatekeeper I am =
just running the .exe file   from there.=20

It's all working fine, but I would like to somehow find a   way of setting =
it up like the pre-built version (GnuGKSetup226.exe) that  =20
creates all the access to the gatekeeper through the Start menu>Program   F=
iles. (i.e. Add User, Monitor, etc)=20

Is there some way of simply   incorporating my gnugk.exe into the GnuGKSetu=
p2.2.6.exe? Or another way???  =20

I haven't had any experience with creating install applications, so   don't=
 really know what I'm doing.=20

I just didn't want to start trying   to make an install aplication if there=
 was some way to do it with the files   already provided, etc....=20

Any help please???=20

Thanks,  =20
