No dial button in spark

Openfire Plugins Asterisk-IM
1

Hi,

I will make this problem very clear. I successfully installed wildfire and asterisk in my lan. This is my lan:

  1. Server ( this is where I installed wildfire and asterisk ): Linux

  2. Client A ( this is where I installed spark and sip software ): Windows XP

3 Client B ( this is where I installed spark and sip software ): Windows XP

Spark in Client A can communicate ( text messaging, send file ) to Client B. Sip software ( something like ekiga, xlite, etc ) in Client A can phone ( even video chat ) with sip software in Client B.

I am strugling to intregate both of them. Here’'s what I do:

Installing asterisk-im.jar. Download from here ( http://couplet.be/temp/status_fix/asterisk-im.jar ). If I use asterisk-im from official server, when I click “phone mappings” in asterisk-im tabs in wildfire admin console, I get blank page. The version of the plugin is 1.1.1. I get that link from this thread ( http://www.jivesoftware.org/community/thread.jspa?threadID=20813&start=0&tstart= 0 ).

This is my asterisk configuration in Server:

/etc/asterisk/sip.conf

context=default

srvlookup=yes

videosupport=yes ; Turn on support for SIP video

realm=hulahula

;recordhistory=yes ; Record SIP history by default

; (see sip history / sip no history)

disallow=all ; First disallow all codecs

allow=ulaw ; Allow codecs in order of preference

allow=alaw

allow=speex

allow=gsm

allow=h261

allow=h263

allow=h263p

type=friend

secret=welcome

qualify=yes ; Qualify peer is no more than 2000 ms away

nat=no ; This phone is not natted

host=dynamic ; This device registers with us

canreinvite=no ; Asterisk by default tries to redirect

context=internal ; the internal context controls what we can do

type=friend

secret=welcome

qualify=yes ; Qualify peer is no more than 2000 ms away

nat=no ; This phone is not natted

host=dynamic ; This device registers with us

canreinvite=no ; Asterisk by default tries to redirect

context=internal ; the internal context controls what we can do

/etc/asterisk/extensions.conf

exten => 100,1,Dial(SIP/john)

exten => 101,1,Dial(SIP/mery)

exten => 611,1,Echo( )

/etc/asterisk/manager.conf

enabled = yes

port = 5038

bindaddr = 127.0.0.1

; No access is allowed by default.

; To set a password, create a file in /etc/asterisk/manager.d

; use creative permission games to allow other serivces to create their own

; files

#include “manager.d/*.conf”

secret=mysecret

read=system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user

write=system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user

This is my configuration of asterisk-im from wildfire admin console:

General configuration:

enabled: yes

server: hulahula

port: 5038

username: mark

password: mysecret

drop-down device selection: yes

asterisk context: internal

default caller id: blank or empty

dial command variables: empty or blank

Note: hulahula is Server hotsname ( the output of ‘‘hostname’’ in Server console ).

Phone mappings:

username device extensions caller id

akbar sip/john 100 akbar

alex sip/mery 101

Note: akbar and alex is my wildfire user. I manage successfully make text messaging between these usernames.

The wildfire server configuration:

Server name: hulahula

But in spark client ( in client A or client B ) there is no dial button or any button to make phone functions. Spark version is 2.0.0.1. Wildfire version is 3.0.1.

Note: This is what I put in login dialog of spark to connect to server

username: akbar or alex

password: ******

server: the ip address of Server ( 192.168.1.115 )

I have read documentations and search forums. Somebody said this is full qualified domain names ( fqdn ) issue but I don’'t understand. This is only local lan. How do I find fqdn of my Server anyway if this is that issue?

Hi, I finally resolved that. I can’'t use ip address to make asterisk-im work. I have to use hostname in all configuration. Remember my hostname of Server is ‘‘hulahula’’ ( without quote ). To find hostname in you Server if your Server os is linux is to run hostname in console.

So give this name to your server name in server tab ( in wildfire admin console ). In asterisk-im tab ( in wildfire admin console ), in general setting, give this name to your server field. Next in your client ( Windows XP ), you have to use hostname of server when you login. You can’‘t use ip address. But to achieve that, your client must recognize hostname. To test it, open command prompt, then try to run ‘‘ping hulahula’’. If it is success, then you are all set. But if not, you must make it ( the client / Windows XP ) recognize your server hostname. There are many ways to do that. The easy way is to use samba. Here’'s how to setup samba in ubuntu ( but you can apply to other distro with minimum adjustment ):

After that, I can see dial button in my spark client although I still can not make internal calling ( between spark client ). Hope this help somebody.

Hi ?:expressionless:

I have a Wildfire Server 3.0.1 linked to an Asterisk Server.

The asterisk-im plugin is installed and the phone mappings are completed.

Spark Client 2.0.0.1 desn´t show me nothing of the Asterisk.

After read your post, I understood that :

First: I need put Asterisk´s hostname ( in wildfire admin console /

In asterisk-im tab / in general setting / Server).

Second: I need put Wildfire´s hostname in client Spark

Is that ? After that will I see something in client Spark ?

Your help will be greatly appreciated

Vinícia.

Yes, that’'s it. But make sure your client recognize your server hostname. Test it by ‘‘ping your_server_hostname’’.

I still can’'t see anything in Spark.

Wildfire and Spark in the same PC(192.168.2.x)

Asterisk in another PC (192.168.2.x)

In the Wildfire Asterisk-IM Plugin console page, i enter the Asterisk host name .

And in the Spark client, i enter the Wildfire host name.

Why i can’'t see anything of asterisk? Help!

It´s necessary

  1. shutdown (Wildfire server)

  2. restar client spark
