Hi, guys,

I used Ethereal to trace SIP and found code 408 when it’s time out. I believe we need focus 408 rather than 487.

Sorry Rick, for last e-mail.

Regards

Leon

From Mark:

SER normally sends a 487 when the INVITE timer runs out so you would need to trigger the voicemail on that event. We have our feature server handing timeouts not SER (our SER timeout is set to a very large value) so I'm not sure the best way to proceed.

Does SER call the failure_route for a locally generated 487 timeout? If so then rather than the 'break' you have there now just forward to vm. I would set a different t_on_failure instead of reusing "1" though, so you dont keep forwarding if the vm fails.

Thanks for the reply to my post

I see what you are doing here, but that part has been taken care of. When I get a failure on “INVITE” of  486, 404, 408 or 480 I look in the mysql database and find the voicemail box for that uri and replace the sip contact then prefix it with a “V” and relay it to asterisk. Over on the asterisk side, I route the call to the voicemail context and delete the “V” and send it to voicemail. All this works except when ser times out on the “INVITE” and for some reason it doesn’t route to asterisk. That’s the problem I’m having.

Rick,

I had same problem before and I gave it up since I didn’t get any answer from list. I am using another way(tricky but working) to do voice mail. Hope it can help you if you can’t fix it.

1. Check location in your routing parts before relay, if not, forward to Asterisk.

2. set up unconditional forward in ATA as 00 + ATA’DID. Make a route in SER and point 00* to Asterisk.

3. Strip 00 in Asterisk and send it to voicemail2(${EXTEN})

Regards

Leon Sun

Hi All

I’m working with a ser script, written by someone that’s gone now, that routes inbound calls to an asterisk server for voicemail. The failure_route[1], sends calls to asterisk and the IVR plays if the ua is unreachable (not in location) “404”, “408” or  the ua is busy “486” but it doesn’t when the inv time exceeds 30 sec (rings for 30 sec or more). The call just stops ringing and 10 sec later gets a fast busy. Any ideas from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Here is the code I’m working with.

failure_route[1] {

            xlog("L_ALERT", "%Tf %mf ****** Failure Route 1: <%rm> <%rr> <%rs>\n");

            if(t_check_status("487")) {

                        break;

            };

            if(method=="INVITE" && (t_check_status("486|408|404|480"))) {

                        if(avp_db_load("$ruri", "s:mailbox"))

                                    avp_pushto("$ruri/username", "s:mailbox");

                        prefix("V");

                        rewritehostport("A.B.C.D:5060");

                        append_branch();

                        xlog("L_ALERT", "****** Transfering to Voicemail\n");

                        t_on_reply("1");

                        t_relay();

            };

}

Thanks

Rick
