[Serusers] ser, pstn gateways
by Jev 27 Jun '03

27 Jun '03

Hello all, Im using ser, with esteras softphone, and a couple of cisco ata186's. I have to say I really like ser, as it is small fast, and reliable without being over complicated. I would like to know what other ser users and developers use for pstn gateways? I have a openline4 card from voictronix, but there is no software support for sip (When I bought it I thought I would use h.323). I have looked at cisco's pstn gateway modules, but was turned off them because of price, and lack of clear straight forward information to name but two reasons. Ideally what I would like to have is a solution that would support at least 4 pstn lines (expandable to maybe 8), that would run on FreeBSD (or at worst linux), works well with sip & ser, with high quality audio, and minimal delays when dialing in out. TIA, -Emil

[Serusers] User Based Dialplans
by Fernando Nachtigall 07 May '03

07 May '03

Hi All, I need to implement an used based dialplans module on SER, so that depending on the user information stored in the database, a certain prefix should be inserted in the called number. Has anyone had a similar issue? Thanks Fernando --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

[Serusers] Serious defficiencies of the t_on_negative feature
by Maxim Sobolev 15 Apr '03

15 Apr '03

Folks, I am currently playing with t_on_negative feature trying to implement overflow routing (i.e. if original destination returns an error, then request should be adjusted somehow and redirected to some, possibly different, destination). I've started with the following config: route { [...] rewriteFromRoute(); if (method == "INVITE") { addRecordRoute(); }; if (method == "INVITE) { t_on_negative("1"); }; t_relay_to("address1", "port1"); } reply_route[1] { rewritehostport("address2:port2"); append_branch(); } But quickly found that after transaction was redirected to address2:port2, ACKs, BYEs, 200K and CANCELS are still being forwarded to address1:port1, despite containing valid Route fields pointing to address2:port2. Then I've modified it as follows to let ser use information from that field to route ACKs, 200OKs and BYEs: route { [...] rewriteFromRoute(); if (method == "INVITE") { addRecordRoute(); }; if (method == "INVITE" || method == "CANCEL") { # INVITEs and CANCELs if (method == "INVITE) { t_on_negative("1"); }; t_relay_to("address1", "port1"); } else { # ACKs, 200OKs, BYEs t_relay(); }; } reply_route[1] { rewritehostport("address2:port2"); append_branch(); } For the most of the time everything works like a charm - if address1:port1 is unreachable or replies with an error the request is being redirected to the second destination, BUT if the initiating UA tries to cancel transaction when transaction is already redirected but before receiving final "200 OK" from the second destination, the CANCEL request is forwarded to address1:port1, not to address2:port2 as it should be. I've tried to modify setup as follows, thinking that maybe in the case of CANCEL explicit specification of proxy address confuses ser, but no avail - in this case ser forwards the CANCEL request to its own address and eventually it dies with Too Many Hops. route { [...] rewriteFromRoute(); if (method == "INVITE") { addRecordRoute(); }; if (method == "INVITE") { # INVITEs t_on_negative("1"); t_relay_to("address1", "port1"); } else { # CANCELs, ACKs, 200OKs, BYEs t_relay(); }; } reply_route[1] { rewritehostport("address2:port2"); append_branch(); } I think that such behaviour arises from the fact that ser after branching a transaction doesn't keep an address this transaction was forwarded to. In my opinion, it needs to be corrected, so that after receiving CANCEL from the UA that initiated transaction ser probably should CANCEL *all* branches of this transaction. To do this it needs to be able to tell exactly where to send CANCELs. What do you think? -Maxim

[Serusers] pstn gateway survey

Friends, please, can you help me and share with me privately which SIP2PSTN gateways you are using in your networks? I'ld like to get a better feeling of what devices today have reputation of being usable and with which of them SER has been tested. I'm interested in all-grade devices, from single FXO to SS7 gateways. I'll keep it for myself. Thank you a lot, -Jiri -- Jiri Kuthan http://iptel.org/~jiri/

Re: [Serusers] Alternative to Mysql?
by Daniel-Constantin MIERLA 01 Apr '03

Hello, see dbtext for that. But notice that the module has not been thoroughly tested. It is not included in v0.8.10 so you have to use a CVS snapshot which is quite unstable these days due to lots of changes. If you want to use it before the new release of ser is out you might get weird situations, but you can provide us some help with testing ... It is your choice ... -.- Best regards, Daniel David Beckemeyer wrote: >I'm trying to get SER up and I need auth.

[Serusers] Proxy_authorize, www_authorize

Hi Michael, This is exactly what I would like to achieve. I understand the meaning of your pseudo code below, but alas I have not enough knowledge and skills to transform your pseudo code below into a working script. Could you please provide a real example ?

Endpoint works. It is a very important point. I've tested perhaps 8 endpoints and only have 3 that 'work' with my Cisco/Iptel gear. ---greg > >Yes, you are right.

On ATA side, you just need to enable the 'Receiver-tagged VIA header' feature by setting bitt 22 of ConnectMode to 1. On SER side, nothing you need to configure specifically. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Vasilenko" <acid(a)dg.net.ua> To: "Bo" <boman122(a)yahoo.com> Sent: Friday, March 28, 2003 9:52 AM Subject: Re: [Serusers] ATA 186 Behind NAT > Bo (boman122(a)yahoo.com) wrote: > > Yes.
