I read about SER and I have installed Asterisk on one machine. Unfortunately this machine is broken and the replacement will take longer as I wished.
I have a P-4, 1GHz with 1 GB RAM, which was planned to be used as SER anyway. I would like to use this downtime of the Asterisk box to install SER.
I understand that SER and Asterisk can work together, while SER makes connection, Asterisk will add features. How do I do that efficiently?
1. SER needs a public IP, does then Asterisk need a pulic IP, or can it just be on the internal LAN?
2. Now the password for each phone is made in the SIP and IAX config files. How can I do that than in SER? If I use reatime, can I use the same database?
3. A user can make a phone call to the users on our system (Asterisk domain) and via gateways. We use ASTCC for billing. How can I use this together with SER. I am not sure if I understand it correct, but would for internal calls (calls without features) be handeled directly from SER, while if the user need a feature, than he would be transfered to Asterisk? How can I setup multiple Asterisk boxes with one SER, but all Asterisk machines share the same dial plan (realtime)
I wanted to read more first, but the down time of my * forces me to do a SER setup faster, so that my users can quickly (by office hours Monday) at least make internal calls.
Any hint is welcome ;-)
bye
