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

[Ashling O'Driscoll]

I am having similar problems to those described below. I have scoured
the internet with google and looked at the following link aswell:

http://mail.iptel.org/pipermail/serusers/2004-October/012192.html

Howvere I am getting confused because most of these configs refer to
the pstn aswell. I would just like to know how SER can use asterisk
for voicemail.

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!

ser.cfg;
if(!lookup("location"){
rouet(2);
break;
};

route [2]
{
 rewritehostport("xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5062");
 t_relay_to_udp("xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5062");
 break;
};

Hello,

You can run both SER and Asterisk in the same machine with different
ports. Add a failure route in
your ser.cfg and handle calls to voicemail in that. A simple one is
given below. You might want to
add necessary conditions there. See the SER documentation for more
details.
http://www.iptel.org/ser/doc/seruser/seruser.html 

route [2] {
rewritehostport ("Asterisk IP: Port");
t_relay ();
break;
}

Cheers!
