Um..no actually I am saying you could combine both, but that will only
help if you have alot of users. I guess you could direct calls to a
particular sip client, ut normally when ser and asterisk work in tandem,
all calls from SER hit one section of sip.conf, and hence can only be
pointed to one context, you can get around this by including contexts
from this default one, which is what I do, based upon a mysql lookup,
but then you will have problems in call pickup, because all pickup is
not context based, again there is a solution to this, if you look at
bristuff patch for asterisk.
If you dont have many users stick with ust asterisk, if you want to
scale you may need to kludge something with ser and asterisk, and this
might be easy or hard depending on exacly what you require, and call
scenarios.

The way I manage this in Asterisk is every SIP UA has
a unique login
but in different contexts. I suppose that if SER directs a call to
Asterisk to the specific SIP client, Asterisk will recognize it
belongs to a different context. The question is, I don't know if SER
knows about multiple contexts under the premise of the Asterisk world.
Also, I get the feeling you are pretty much telling me to stick to
Asterisk :) Is that so?
Thanks,

Hi
If you are already using multiple contexts within asterisk, then
your already half way there, the problem is if you stick in SER,
bcause then your phones are not registered in asterisk, hence all
fall into the same context in sip.conf, which means they all will
hit one context in extensions.conf, hence you should look into that.
I am not sure if you can do the 101/102 extension thing in asterisk,
since aliases will be bound to a contact, whereas in asterisk the
context is also part of the dialing plan.
DID can be done, as can forking and directing to voicemail on no
answer.

Hello,
I'm still trying to learn more about SER. I've been using Asterisk
to manage virtual PBX services for different companies by using
multiple contexts within Asterisk. However, since I only use
Asterisk with SIP UAs and to communicate with ITSPs, I don't have
the need to have all the fancy features Asterisk offers, plus I
have the additional advantage of having the built-in NAT support
in SER.
The question I have is if someone can point me to the right place
where I can see some sample configs that do more or less the things
I need or if someone would be willing to share some of those
configs on the list.
Basically, I need to have the ability to manage any number of
virtual PBX services where each virtual entity can manage their
own extension numbering, DIDs, outbound CLID. I would probably
just continue using Asterisk for voicemail services since I get
the feeling that SEMS is still "unstable" to go into production,
even for voicemail services only (unless told otherwise).
The idea is that even if two companies define two extensions 101
and two extensions 102, when each company calls ext 101 or 102
internally, the call will be maintained within that company and
would not cross over to the other company. Also, having features
like one main number (DID) that could ring in multiple extensions
simultaneously (forking) and if no one answers, leave a message in
the general mailbox, or that each extension could have,
additionally, a DID so that they can be reached directly from the
outside.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Waldo
