Raw Notes gnomemeeting
# another VOIP app http://speak-freely.sourceforge.net/ # main web page http://www.gnomemeeting.org # installation notes: I get gconf errors when I compile gnomemeeting on one machine and install it on another as a slackware package. This even occurs when compiling on one root partition and installing to another. I can always avoid this by compiling on the same machine/root partition to a slackware package and using that package on that machine/partition. Sometimes, I have to delete ~/.gconf, ~/.gconfd to get a fresh start, though. # packages openldap pwlib openh323 gnomemeeting # h323 addresses (default port is 1720) h323:[user@][host:[port]] # default port is 1720 # to configure a firewall, you would have to allow tcp syn 1720 to get in, and you would have to allow # udp in the 5000+ range to get through # I gather the connection on 1720 only lasts long enough to set up a call and negotiate which udp # ports to use. # literal ipv6 addresses have to be enclosed in brackets to avoid being mistaken for port designations H.323 URL's are formatted as such "h323:[user@][host:[port]]" This permits you to: Call a given host on a port different from the default port which is 1720: h323:seconix.com:1740 Call a given user using their respective alias if registered to a gatekeeper: h323:jonita Call a given phone number if you are registered to a gatekeeper for a PC-To-Phone provider: h323:003210111222 Call a given user using their alias through a specific gateway or proxy: h323:jonita@gateway.seconix.com Call an MCU and join a specific room: h323:myfriendsroom@mcu.seconix.com
