If you just want to offload the subscribers from * to ser, you can create
all user accounts in ser. Ser pulls the information for each call and routes
it accordingly. Ser can manipulate most sip headers to whatever you want to.
Lots of ser functions support dynamic database loading. There is no need to
reload ser to make the change effective.
When you send the call to *, e.g. you can map ser domains to the equivalent
* contexts. Most applications in * support multiple contexts, except a few
options, e.g. call park.
This way, ser acts like a sip proxy. That's what it is designed to be. When
some jobs can't be easily done in ser, use * as an application server.

Thanks for the information, but its not set up for multiple domains
its setup for multiple contexts in asterisk.
every user is listed in the subscribers database in format
companyname.user(a)domain.com domain always stays the same.
We would like to have a user dial 1000(a)domain.com and have ser connect
to the applicable owner of that extension on the same context as the
user initiating the call.
ex: call from companya.ciscophone(a)domain.com calls 1000(a)domain.com,
then ser would translate 1000(a)domain.com into
companya.bugetone(a)domain.com without relaying to asterisk....
also please note that the extensions are dynamic and are loaded from a
db, so if we wanted to add an extension it wouldnt be viable to do a
ser reload and kick all the users off...
I imagine the only way to implement this is to grab the context the
user is calling from (ex companya) and grab the extension being called
tied to the companya extension and return the sip user name... then
translate that into the uri form of sip:companya.bugetone@domain.com
... if that makes sense
let me know if this is even possible.. its important the domain will
always stay the same.
Thanks!

user:
Say I have multiple companies, how would I setup
extensions to call
sip devices and if I wanted to dial into a sales queue how would it
forward to asterisk. Another thing would be voice mail...how would
the extension know to goto voicemail after a certain amount of seconds
and play a custom greeting that they assigned for their box.
Forward from SER to Asterisk based on either RURI value on an INVITE or
on a failure
as is the case with a call to voicemail.
The first situation would require you to define a dialplan such that you
can identify which
inbound calls to SER need to be forwarded to Asterisk. This is much like
what you've already
done in the above code.
The second situation can be handled using the failure_route in SER. For
example if Asterisk
voicemail is handled in failure_route[6], assign users the acl value
"asterisk", setup the failure
route handling in the start of your code, then define the failure route.
if (is_user_in("Request-URI", "asterisk")) {
t_on_failure("6");
setflag(6);
log(1, "[SER]: Flag for Asterisk redirect successful. \n");
};
failure_route[6] {
xlog("L_INFO", "\n[SER]: START FAILURE BLOCK #7 Unavailable Asterisk
Time: [%Tf] Method: <%rm> From uri
<%fu> To < %tu> IP source
address <%is>
R-uri: <%ru> Contact Header: <%ct> \n\n");
if (t_check_status("486")) {
prefix("b");
xlog("L_INFO", "\n[SER]: FAILURE BLOCK #7 Phone is busy: Time: [%Tf]
Method: <%rm> From uri <%fu> \n\n");
} else if (t_check_status("480")) {
prefix("u");
xlog("L_INFO", "\n[SER]: FAILURE BLOCK #7 Phone is unavailable:
Time: [%Tf]
Method: <%rm> From uri <%fu> \n\n");
} else {
prefix("u");
xlog("L_INFO", "\n[SER]: FAILURE BLOCK #7 Phone is unavailable for
unknown
reason: Time: [%Tf] Method: <%rm> From uri <%fu> \n\n");
}
rewritehostport("<asterisk server hostname>:<port on server where sip
is listening>");
append_branch();
t_relay_to_udp("<asterisk server hostname>", "<port on server
where
sip is listening>");
break;
}
You notice the prefix("b") and prefix("u") statements in the above
code. This is so that
SER can prefix the users extension with the 'u' or'b' character that
Asterisk uses to designate
a busy greeting or unavailable greeting should be played. You can add
additional status
checks like a 302 for call forwarding etc.
In Asterisk you need to setup sip.conf which I'm assuming you've
already done. In addition
you need to define extension rules. For individual mailboxes I use the
following. See where
the prefixed u & b are used in the pattern matching?
exten => _XXXXX,1,VoiceMail2(${EXTEN})
exten => _uXXXXX,1,VoiceMail2(u${EXTEN:1})
exten => _bXXXXX,1,VoiceMail2(b${EXTEN:1})
The same approach works for IVR. I haven't done the agent stuff so
your on your own
there. If 7700 is your lead number for the IVR then:
exten => 7700,1,Goto(mymainmenu,s,1)
exten => #,2,Hangup ; Hang them up.
[mymainmenu]
exten => s,1,Ringing ; 2 seconds of ringback
exten => s,2,Answer
.... etc.

http://lists.iptel.org/mailman/listinfo/serusers and how would they be billed... sip to sip would
be billed thru ser,
all zaptel channels thru asterisk??
Billing seems to be unique to each site and their acconting model.
I'll leave that one
for you :-)
