olecoot Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 There is a setting in pbx.xml labeled "timeout_connected" which by default is 120. We are experimenting with video calls and they are dropping precisely at 120 seconds due to RTP timeout. A regular non-video call works as expected. What are the values that can be placed in the "timeout_connected" setting and what ramifications are there to changing this value?

Vodia PBX Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Just set it to something like 3600; this is a workaround if you are doing video-only calls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olecoot Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 But what if we are doing both video and regular VoIP calls? This is a multi-tenant PBX with multiple domains and multiple trunks. What will be the affect of changing that setting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodia PBX Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Well, if someone pulls the plug on the phone and the other side does not disconnect (or there is no other side), that call will stay up for one more hour... Not good. Is this one-way video and there is no audio going on? In two way video it should actually not hangup. In one-way audio (and fax) it will hang up; that#s debatable and maybe we need to change this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if we set this number at <timeout_connected>3600</timeout_connected> this will affect only the video/audio call and not voice only calls? I guess I'm still a little confused as to what this number controls. One of the tests that we conducted this morning was to establish a normal audio-only call. After about 5-6 minutes on the same call, we switched on the cameras, exactly 120 sec later the call dropped, both audio and video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
