How do I connect my AQL IAX Trunk with FreeSWITCH

Ensure you have enabled mod_iax (this is commented out by default in the FreeSWITCH configuration)

Inbound Calling

Set the following parameters in iax.conf.xml;

<param name="codec-prefs" value="PCMA" />
<param name="codec-master" value="uk"/>
<param name="codec-rates" value="8"/>

You may also want to change the context from "public"

You will need to create at least one extension, the following will match all incoming IAX (7xxxxx) calls

<extension name="aqliax">
<condition field="destination_number" expression="^7(\d{5})$">
.. your dialplan logic goes here ..
</condition>
</extension>

Outbound Calling

There is no need to register with our IAX servers.

Simply call the bridge application as follows (where 7XXXXX is replaced with your IAX number);

<action application="bridge" data="{origination_caller_id_number=7XXXXX}iax/USERNAME:PASSWORD@iax.aql.com/DESTINATION" />


It is imperative you include the {origination_caller_id_number=7XXXXX} variable assignment otherwise you will hear an error stating you have Insufficient Credit to make the call.
