Hello, I am currently deploying the LCR module. I have some questions about fields and what they do... I searched the docs, but couldn't find anything. Can someone please fill in the blanks?
[LCR Gateways] Gateway Name: description of the gateway Group ID: Numeric identifier used to link LCR Rules IP Address: The IP of the SIP gateway Hostname: The hostname of the SIP gateway (not required if IP provided?) Port: The port the SIP gateway listens on URI Scheme: (well documented) NULL = sip, 1 = sip and 2 = sips Transport: (well documented) NULL = none, 1 = udp, 2 = tcp, 3 = tls, and 4 = sctp Strip: ? Tag: ? Weight: ? Ping: ? Flags: ?
[LCR Rules] Prefix: The matching prefix. In the US most would do this by area code, so I would assume I would put something like 1678 or 1770 to route Atlanta calls. Would putting a NULL or Empty String force a default route for everything?
From URI: If I don't care about the from URI can I leave this NULL or BLANK?
Group ID: The numeric identifier matching to LCR Gateways Priority: I am assuming if there are 2 records which match the prefix and from URI the high priority will be chosen first?
Also, say for example, one of my gateway providers has a primary and a secondary gateway. If the primary is down I need to route calls to the secondary. How would this fit into an LCR scheme? Would I need duplicate routes for the secondary with a lower priority?
Thanks, Geoff
p.s. for anyone holding out, I just installed Siremis today and it rocks! I am really quite pleased with the solution.
