A first easy hint would be to go out there and get yourself a nice copy of ngrep, "ngrep -d eth0 port 5060 -W byline -q " will help you understand the magic of SIP much easier.
I think you could get yourself upto speed by trying to get one of the many example configuration files to work.
I believe there also is a book on Opensips, which is a great help to get you started.
... and enjoy the learning curve :) !

Hello, I have been googling for a simple (as simple as it can be knowing the complexity of Kamailio) for a "how to/step bey step/do this dummy"
type of
guide to get Kamailio registered with a sip provider I already have,
and
register one end point to kamailio that can use that provider.
Nothing
fancy or involved just the absolute basics. Does this exist and if so
can
you please point me to it? Thanks, JohnM
Additional info I failed to add: OS is Ubuntu 14.04 server(Trusty tahr) OpenSips 4.x installed and running with MySQL module have an old polycom 501 that is hitting the Kamailio box with register requests as seen by tcpdump: 09:59:28.921267 IP 192.168.1.110.sip > 192.168.1.152.sip: SIP, length: 530 09:59:28.921663 IP 192.168.1.152.sip > 192.168.1.110.sip: SIP, length: 448

Thanks for the response Davy and yes loving the curve, really. :-) I have ngrep installed, have used it, seeing phone send register and Kamailio returnig 401 unauthorized as expected, ran kamctl add 1000 <my password> still getting 401. I can find all kinds of examples on how to use asterisk for Voicemail, or Kamailio as a sip LB, and all sorts of other thing but none that are the simple basics. I have worked with Asterisk for a few years but am looking to branch out so I do have bit of understanding of sip but none of Kamailio, yet. Still googling for example config that I can make sense of. And yes I know this is an example of PEBKAC. ;-)
Thanks again, JohnM
