FW: [Serusers] Initial setup on FreeBSD of ser using Cisco 7960 SIP - sr-users

4 Feb 2003

Nils,

Thanks!  Setting listen=sip.voiping.com worked.  I had listen=192.70.239.1
(which the reverse DNS records resolve to: voiping.com).  So, that worked.
Thanks for the help and the quick response.   

Regarding "not forking" it was purely for debugging purposes.  It'll work
now with fork=yes.

Now I have:
	fork=yes
	log_stderr=no

	alias=voiping.com
	listen=sip.voiping.com

Later,
L.

  I'm "playing" with SER trying to
understand how it all works, and to
 be completely honest I haven't finished reading all the docs.  
 Basically I'm using the default ser.cfg (installed in 
 /usr/local/etc/ser) and I have two 7960s with the latest SIP code.  I 
 know it works, since I can call the other phone with our 
 user(a)iptel.org extension ... The 2nd line is setup to register to 
 sip.voiping.com [192.70.239.1].  Immediately the phone gets to trying, 
 I have ser running to "not fork, debug 3, and log to stderr". 
Is their any special reason why you not allow to fork?
Because from the repsonse packet bellow you can see that your request is
going 
through end (nearly) endless loop. The via_cnt==12 means the request was 
forwarded 12 times (before it was stoped by the maxfws rule).
I guess that ser cant detect that sip.voiping.com is one of its "myself" 
names. Maybe this is caused by the 'fork=no'. If not you can try to add 
'listen=sip.voiping.com' to your configuration or the commandline switch '-l

sip.voiping.com'. This should fix your problem.
