[OpenSER-Users] Interop with PSTN gateway sometimes fails - openser1.2.1

[Naija Man]

Hi all,

I am a beginner in openser and I really appreciate the help I have been
getting from this group. I am setting up an interop with a PSTN gateway with
intermittent success. I will try to explain my setup below.



                      redirect server
                            /      /
                       2  /      / 3
               1         /      /              4                           5
asterisk ----->  openser (v1.2.1)  -----> pstnGateway ------> PSTN (cell
phone)


Calls are generated from asterisk (step 1) with a 3-digit prefix (say, 999)
on the ANI to identify a particular group of calls, and sent to openser (
v1.2.1). Openser checks the from_uri; detects the 999 prefix, strips the
leading 3 digits and forwards the INVITE to the redirect server (step 2).
The redirect server responds with a 301, containing the location of the
pstnGateway (step 3). Openser sends an INVITE to address in the 301 to the
pstnGateway (step 4) and the call gets completed (step 5)

This setup works intermittently. I sometimes have to restart openser before
it works again. When it works, I get a 100 trying message back from the PSTN
gateway, but when it fails, I see a number of invites sent from openser to
the gateway without getting a 100 trying message back. And the invite times
out with a 408 message. After a few seconds, the PSTN number actually rings,
but I get dead air.

My configuration is as below:

            t_relay();
            exit;
        }
    }

Below is a snippet of my logs when the call fails.
