Product Name: OpenISDN (H.323 Call Generator)
Product URL: http://www.gae.ucm.es/~openisdngw/home_en.php
Vendor: Open Source
Supported Protocols: H.323
Platform: Any platform where you can compile the OpenH323 Library (Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, Solaris, etc.)
Description:
Operational Experience: It requires ISDN cards to be properly installed and configured on the local machine in order to make connections with the ISDN. It is working only with ISDN lines (no PSTN support)managing n calls simultaneously, so many as ISDN channels available. The Gatekeeper can be in a well-known IP address or it could be discovered in the network with broadcast RAS. Information of the call progress state to the user of the Switched Circuit Network that calls to the Gateway. This information is made with tones similar to the sent by the telephone offices. Support and development has now stopped and it requires special old version of OpenH323 library to compile. No dynamic configuration is possible; once the program is started the client is configured using the command line options. Overall Evaluation: Simple H.323/ISDN Gateway. Needs to be better investigated the complete H.320 compatibility for ISDN conferencing. Right now it seems only an audio gateway.
