[Serusers] Cisco 7960 / call pick-up

[Geert Nijpels]

Hello,

After having worked with ser for a few days, I have SER running with 
authentication, accounting , voicemail and conferencing, which is 
working great (Thanks for this great product). However, I have a problem 
connecting Cisco 7960 phones.

Ser server: colo.foo.bar.
Domain/authentication realm/alias: foo.net.

In my grandstream phones I can configure a different domain then the sip 
proxy. In the cisco phones, I can only configure the sip proxy. The 
cisco's are registering with the username at colo.foo.bar and not with 
username at foo.net. The phones will not authenticate, because there only 
exists a username at foo.net in the database.

What is the best to solve this problem. I can think of the following:
- match the uri and do: rewritehost("foo.net")
- make a srv entry for foo.net pointing to colo.foo.bar and set the 
proxy in the cisco phone to foo.net
- configure multidomain support and put in both domains.

I'm not sure what the best solution is, does anyone have experience with 
this issue?

Furthermore, I have a question of which I could not find an answer for 
in the archives or google. Is it possible to do call pick-up with ser? 
My first thought would be no (and use a timeout with forwarding), 
because Ser is not call statefull (and has no b2bua). But maybe I'm wrong.

Kind regards and thanks for reading,
