The remote application interface does not allow any bchannel to be
exported or imported. Audio traffic via socket interface is used instead.
The joinremote instance became obsolete and is removed.
The remote action (routing) became obsolete, use interface.conf instead.
The handling of loopback device became obsolete and was removed
The chan_lcr does not rely on mISDN anymore, that means:
- can be used with GSM and without mISDN at all.
- chan_lcr can be used as internal extension of LCR (e.g. SIP phone)
(chan_lcr can be handled as any other interface)
- no loopback device to be used anymore.
Call received on an interface can directly be forwarded to a given
destination interface, instead of routing the call through PBX
application. This way calls can be forwarded without going through
route.conf.
Currently only SIP and GSM destinations are supported. Also there
are no tones generated, if one side provides no tones, but the
other wants to receive them.
The keyword "bridge <output interface>" in interface.conf is used.
Without that keyword, incomming calls are handled as usual.
chan_lcr can be handled as an interface. This way it is possible to (e.g.):
- make a SIP phone become an LCR extension with all LCR features.
- make conference calls. (untested)
- perform parallel ringing. (ISDN phone and SIP phones can ring in
parallel.)
- do voice recoding.
It is still also possible to link chan_lcr directly without interface
(as before).
Documentation/howto for that will follow.
