New subject: [Serusers] How to forward the call to asterisk voicemail box if no one answer the phone?

14 Jun 2004


      I am using asterisk as my voicemail system and ser as my sip server. It works fine for a specific called number(4243) by using append_branch() function. But I don't know how to setup ser to forward any called number  to asterisk if no one answer the phone. I mean something like forward() function so I only need to specify the IP and port of asterisk.
Here is my ser.cfg:
