Hi!

I have SER running on 5060, and Asterisk on 5061, so if Asterisk passes it to @localhost there should be no problem there.

The remaining problem seems to be the passing on of the call. The mentioned dialplan does send the entered extension to SER, and the phone on that SER-account rings. However, when the called phone anwers the call, the calling phone does not notice this, and keeps on ringing... No connection is established.

I am not sure whether this is caused by Asterisk or SER, so I am sending this to the SER-group as well... :-)

Regards, Evert

Does your variable ${SERADDRESS} have the port number defined? If you replace it with localhost, I believe port 5060 will pick up the call by default.

Try making sure that your ${SERADDRESS} has the IP like the following: 127.0.0.1:5070 http://127.0.0.1:5070 (replace 5070 with whatever port your SER is listening on).

I've never tried sending the call through loopback but it seems like it should work.

SERADDRESS is a variable that points to a SER-server (currently running
on the same IP as Asterisk, but on a different port).

I noticed that it helped to replace @${SERADDRESS} with @localhost

I now have:

exten => 998,1,Answer
exten => 998,2,Background(agent-newlocation)
exten => 998,3,Set(TIMEOUT(digit)=15)
exten => 998,4,WaitExten(10)
exten => _XXXX,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@localhost,60,o)


This does send the entered extension to SER, and the phone rings.
However, when the called phone anwers the call, the calling phone does
not notice this, and keeps on ringing...
