New subject: [Serusers] Looking for SER + Asterisk-as-voicemail HOWTO

29 Jan 2005


      Thanks for the reply Girish.
I would just like to verify the following:
I currently have the following very simple config:
if (method == "INVITE")
{
    //other code
    t_on_failure("1");
};
failure_route[1]{
revert_uri();
rewritehostport("xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5062");
append_branch();
t_relay_on_udp("xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx","5062");
break;
}
However when I restart SER it tells me I have an error in my ser.cfg
and from the log file it says I am missing a loadmodule:
The following are the load modules I have inclued. Am I missing one?
sl.so
tm.so
rr.so
maxfwd.so
usrloc.so
registrar.so
nathelper.so
textops.so
auth.so
authdb.so
Thanks,
Aisling.

I implemented the changes in ser.cfg that Giri suggested below(will
this cover no answer and busy?). Asterisk and ser are on the same
machine so I now forward to 5062: see code below. Hoever how do I
now
...
modify Asterisk to handle this?...Like I said Ive read lots on this
but it gets complicated with perl scripts etc. Apologies if I am a
bit slow picking up on this!
Go thru the README.variables file that comes with the Asterisk
distribution. It describes about
the extension logic and how to handle different variables. Also,
learn about pattern matching for
Asterisk extensions. Now add appropriate entries for voicemail in
voicemail.conf. Have something
like this in your extensions.conf when the vm calls from SER reach
Asterisk.
exten => _X.,1,VoiceMail2(u${EXTEN})
...
ser.cfg;
if(!lookup("location"){
rouet(2);
break;
};
The above code will not serve your busy/unanswered needs. Add a
failure route and handle it there.
like:
t_on_failure("1");
t_relay ();
break;
failure_route[1] {
  route(2);
  break;
}
...
route [2]
{
 rewritehostport("xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5062");
 t_relay_to_udp("xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5062");
 break;
};

Also, learning about using t_check_status will also help you handle
specific error conditions.
Best,
