Telephony

Revision as of 17:30, 6 November 2012

Yate is a telephony engine who's main function is to connect together call legs to external devices or to internal server resources and for that he use a variety of VoIP protocols that can be used without the need of a special hardware as SIP, H.323, IAX2 or Jingle. In the next chapters you will find more informations about configuring each telephony protocol and the features supported by Yate.

Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)

The SIP module in Yate allows you to make calls using SIP protocol.

• About SIP
  • SIP in Yate - this page describes the SIP protocol and some SIP features in Yate
  • SIP Listeners in Yate - building a listener (TCP, UDP, TLS) "tells" Yate on which network interfaces to listen.
  • SIP Messages - allows Yate to process SIP methods by handling messages by their names.
  • SIP Routing in Yate - configure a SIP channel or a SIP line.
  • SIP Configuration File - configuration file for sip module in Yate
• SIP Features
  • SIP Client - how to build a SIP Client in Yate used as a Client
  • SIP Features Module - describes SIP features that are implemented in Sip Features Module and not in ysipchan
  • SIP Send DTMFs - this page describes DTMFs send related configuration of SIP channel.
  • SIP Attended Call Transfer In Cluster - describes how to configure Yate to handle a SIP attended call transfer for an unknown call leg.
  • SIP Flood Protection - shows how Yate provides a protection mechanism against several types of SIP flood attacks.
  • SIP SBC - describes how Yate can be used as a SIP session border controller providing security for the internal network of the carrier.
  • SIP Generic Message - the message and his syntax generated by the ysipchan module on receiving the specified requests.
  • xsip.generate - another SIP message sent by the ysipchan module requesting the transmission of a SIP request.
  • SIP query for CNAM and LNP - another SIP feature used in a routing module that allows Yate to query Name and Local Number Portability databases over the SIP protocol.
  • SIP NAT - describes how Yate as a SIP Server can pass the voice (RTP) as a NAT.

H323

H.323 is a standard that specifies the components, protocols and procedures that provide multimedia communication services - real-time audio, video, and data communications - over packet-based networks.

• About H323
  • H323 channel module
• H323 Features
  • H323 Gatekeeper And Multiple Endpoint Server
  • H323 To SIP Signalling Proxy
  • H323 Send DTMFs
  • Compiling Yate with H323plus support

MGCP

• About MGCP
  • MGCP call agent module - this module implements the Call Agent part of MGCP allowing Yate to control analog or digital Media Gateways
• MGCP Features

IAX

Iax module implements IAX protocol that will send / receive trunked audio frames on UDP.

• About IAX
  • IAX - explanation how the connection works with trunked packets
• IAX Features
  • Yate as IAX server and YateClient as IAX client - setup to configure Yate as a IAX Server and YateClient as a IAX client
  • Connecting To IAXTEL
