How do I call a local softphone on freeswitch?

Question

I've set up a local softphone on freeswitch with the extension 1000. It connects and I can play the tetris theme etc. I would like to call this softphone using a freeswitch command. Can anyone help?

I know it's to do with sofia and originate commands but I can't get them to work

you can use:

originate user/1000 &echo()

this will connect your phone to the freeswitch to an internal echo function

are you sure your softphone is registered? This command in CLI should list all registered users:

sofia status profile internal reg

Yeah because I can dial 9198 on the softphone and here the tetris theme as stated in the FS manual. – Tomcomm Oct 12 '12 at 08:55
how about this: "originate sofia/external/echo@iptel.org 1000" – Stanislav Sinyagin Oct 12 '12 at 09:58

Originate command connects two endpoints, so you ought to have some other SIP destination or extension to connect with.

Here you can use the music or the echo endpoints, for example: http://www.iptel.org/service

yes, there are some examples in Wiki, but as you can see it always specifies two endpoints (one endpoint can be an application execution, such as playback). – Stanislav Sinyagin Oct 12 '12 at 08:47

Just use:

originate sofia/profile/USER@yourserver.com. But if your developing web-based apps, the enable mod_xml_rpc and use REST to send commands

This can be solved in linux(fedora/centos) by following below syntax

1)open terminal

2)press su (to move admin root)

3)enter password

apply the following command

4)netstat -npl

then it show all the ports runnning

find port running for freeswitch ex: tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:8021 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 708/freeswitch

5)fuser -k 708/tcp use the number given in response ex:710

6)kill -9 710

it worked in my system i hope help to run again your freeswitch server thank you
