AW: Fw: billing incorrect, long call on 2.0.8

Hi Jeff

 

unfortunately i don't have an answer to your question but a question to your configuration.

 

It sounds as if you provide a gateway to the PSTN for your customers. But then, why do you enable AcceptUnregisteredCalls?  Wouldn't this mean that there is a potential threat that just anyone within your "ip cloud" could connect to your gk making costy PSTN calls?

I'm just asking this, because we are also building up a VoiP/PSTN Gateway for a large european company that needs to be secured somehow. So if you allow unregistered calls you might have found another secure solution to prevent unauthorised use of your gk? Maybe you would like to share this knowhow?

 

Kind Regards

Frank

Betreff: Fw: billing incorrect, long call on 2.0.8

 

Hi,

 

I've been using 2.0.8 for about a week now. Now we have some customers complaining our billing is incorrect. It seems that while some of the calls were disconnected at the customer side, those call in the provider's gw (CISCO 5300) kept running, and the gk shows those calls were still connected too, until they hit the pre-difined duration limit; . Both customer and provider are using cisco gws.  Seems the disconnection signal wasn't transfered to either the gk or the far end gw.

 

In my configuration,  i put.

 

[RoutedMode]
GKRouted=1
H245Routed=1
CallSignalPort=1720
AcceptNeighborsCalls=1
AcceptUnregisteredCalls=1
DropCallsByReleaseComplete=1
SendReleaseCompleteOnDRQ=1
ScreenCallingPartyNumberIE=310
Q931PortRange=20000-20999
H245PortRange=30000-30999

 

proxy is disabled.

 

when i was using 2.0.7, the problem didn't seem so significant. In the worst case, before i put a duration limit, a call could last for some 4000 minutes. Does anyone have similiar experience and have a solution for this issue?

 

Thanks in Advance!
