Config example with asterisk on the same host

[Bernd Krumböck]

Hi!

For about 2 weeks I try to get mcu media server run. The reason why it takes
so long were various configuration mistakes. So I try to post a working
example. I assume the asterisk server ip is 192.168.1.10.

1. Asterisk configuration:

1.1. sip.conf:

videosupport=yes          ; at first enable video in asterisk

[user1]
type=friend
host=dynamic
secret=mysecret
disallow=all               ; you have to explicit allow h264, else video will not work in your client!!
allow=ulaw
allow=alaw
allow=h263p
allow=h264

[mcuWeb]
videosupport=yes
type=peer
host=127.0.0.1        ; ip of sailfin
port=5070        ; port of sailfin
canreinvite=no
disallow=all
allow=ulaw
allow=alaw
allow=h263p
allow=h264

1.2. extensions.conf:

[default]
exten => _3XX,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@mcuWeb,,)            ; use any number between 300 and 399 for conferences

1. Sailfin configuration:

2.1. Set interface port to a number above 1024, else sailfin can run only as
root
2.2. Open configuration interface (port 4848) and click on "Configuration
->SIP-Container". Change SIP-Port to 5070 and secure SIP-Port to 5017.
2.3. Open configuration interface (port 4848) and click on "Configuration->SIP
Service->SIP Listeners". Change the listener port for sip-listener-1 to 5070
and listener port for sip-listener-2 to 5071.

1. Configure mcuWeb

3.1. Add Media Mixer with following parameters

URL = http://127.0.0.1:8080
Media IP = 192.168.1.10
Public IP = 192.168.1.10

3.2. Configure a conference with DID = 300 and composition = MOSAIC2x2 (the
mixer /usr/local/src/mcu/bin/debug/mcu must already run! If you restart the
mixer, you have to remove and recreate the conference)

1. Configure SIP Client:

4.1 Configure SIP account
user = user1
password = mysecret
registrar = 192.168.1.10

4.2 Enable video codec H264 (and maybe disable all other)

Clients which should work:
Ekiga (http://ekiga.org/) --- stable version 3.2.7 may
not work under windows 7
Jitsi (http://jitsi.org/) --- account configuration
has no extra field for registrar, so you have to use "user1@192.168.1.10"

Good luck!

regards,
Bernd

Hi bernd,
Can you explain whether the asterisk MCU can be on single server.

[Sergio Garcia Murillo]

They asterisk, sailfin and media mixer can be colocated on same server, or
distributed across different ones.

Best regards
