Hi serusers,
after spending 4 days trying to figure out how to set up things using SER I am now hoping for help. The problem is as follows:
i have a core network (say 192.168.0.0/24) in which the asterisk (192.168.0.99) resides. i have a users network (say 192.168.10.0/24) in which I (the user, x-lite) reside. Theres a gw between those to networks with addresses 192.168.0.10 and 192.168.10.1. The big problem: This gateway is not allowed to forward packets. It does usermode port-forwarding for required ports, but it has no default route and /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward is set to 0. The asterisk is working well and i now wanted to be able to place calls to other users (currently one directly connected grandstream) through the asterisk. First i check out siproxd which almost immediately worked as desired, but i realized, that as soon as the 192.168.10.0 network will be populated with more users, i don't want the inter-user calls to appear on the asterisk. That's where SER comes in. I want it to sit on the gw-box and handle request in the users network by itself, but forward requests it cannot handle (e.g. pstn) to the asterisk by pretending to be the user himself, as siproxd does. Especially i think therefor a user must register at the asterisk server through SER which also should notice where to find him using usrloc. I played around with nethelper/rtpproxy but could not even establish a sip session, not to mention rtp. I somehow don't understand the way ser works, and should handle meet this kind of requirement, so my question would be:
Is 'ser' the tool I'm looking for? And if 'yes', how would it basically have to be configured to do what i want. For example one problem seems to be, that it forwards packets to the * server from it's 192.168.10.1 address which the * box will never know.....
Thanks a lot
Lars
