hi,
i have some basic conceptual questions about integrating Operser with
Asterisk. Most of the examples I have read about so far talks about
using asterisk for voice mail but can the integration also cash in on
the other asterisk features?
The examples always make reference to using asterisk to call out on the
PSTN. I would assume that calling in on the PSTN and calling in/out on
IAX channel would be equally viable but would it also make sense to use
it to call in/out via SIP?
Of course this works fine. But dilaing out with SIP is often done
directly from openser (except you need digest authentication)
my questions stem from my desire to utilize a lot of
asterisk features
because I just don't know openser well enough to start writing bespoke
scripts. Stated another way (I did own up to the fact that I am no
Openser guru) I would like to utilize all the work I have already done
with asterisk and frontend it with the openser. Thereby having asterisk
doing the typical softswitch work (call waiting, call forward, privacy
manager, follow me, queues, conferencing, voice mail, etc) and openser
doing the SIP proxy and NAT traversal capabalities for the UAs.
It is simple. You can do features in Asterisk as long Asterisk is in the
signaling way. E.g. If a SIP client calls another SIP clients (both
registered to openser), the call usually does not traverse the Asterisk
box and thus you can't use Asterisk features. If you need all the
Asterisk features then it may be better to do not use openser and use
only Asterisk.
