New subject: [Serusers] Asterisks to ser to asterisk (voicemail)

28 Jul 2004

As you guys seem to have some experience with this area perhaps I will
re-ask my question this thread..

I have SER-->asterisk forwarding working fine now, and I have divert on
unavailable working.  However, I have two outstanding problems:

(1) If a user is called with their alphanumeric ID instead of their
numerical alias, * does not pick up the call.  This is as expected, as
the dial pattern in * is _[1-9] [0-9] [0-9] [0-9].  However, it must be
fairly common to call people with their email addresses for example...
so how can I make ser pass the alias to * instead of the alpha URI?

(2) If a user is offline, I get a 404 immediately, instead of anything
else - for example diverting immediately to vm.  I don't quite
understand this at the moment.. as I have the t_on_failure set up before
the location lookups... does the t_on_failure not catch 404 failures?  

Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.... anything I can provide,
please let me know...

Thanks again everyone,

Dave

Still you dont need to worry. Let all un-attended calls come back to
Asterisk. It will drop the
calls if it can't find a mail box number. May not be the right method,
though.

    complains.  Not SER.
   Answer from the Asterisk users list :-)

 No, there's not a way to do it, but maybe to issue a 302 redirect.
 Haven't tried it, but that may work.

 The Loop Detected stuff is annoying, yes.

 From a great fan of Asterisk and SER :-)  
 I am not sure about the exact problem, but there is another way to acheive 
...
  this. You dont need to
 re-route the calls back from SER to Asterisk. Set a timeout in the 
 Asterisk Dial statement and
 forward the call to SER. If the callee attends the call, you can talk, and 
...
  if not, make Asterisk
 forward the call to voicemail when it hits the timeout. I have this 
 feature enabled in a local
 system running SER on 5060 and Asterisk on 5070.
