Hello Rizwan,

the "SER starting guide" should provide you background of the usage of the 
config script and basic routing topics.

http://siprouter.onsip.org/doc/gettingstarted/

But this is somewhat outdated, and also SER specific.

Look at the "IP Telephony Cookbook" to get some directions about the bigger 
picture, and again for basic concepts. This is also unfortunally a little bit 
outdated.

The OpenSER Wiki provides more in deep informations and also some tutorials 
and talks about installation related topics.

For installation it would be probably the best to use prebuild binary packages 
for your distribution, just look at openser.org for directions.

Cheers,

Henning
