Hee Hee Hee. This issue has gotten alot of chatter on this list. I'm sure there are articles on the SER list about this.

Short answer is not yet. fr_inv_timer is the timer you want to adjust to control the "ring count" but it is not a ring timer. It is a timer for how long to wait for a final response to an invite. So adjust carefully.

I've tried running another instance of ser on the same box but a different port and domain. This instance becomes my inbound proxy and my PSTN gateways point to this instance of the proxy via an SRV record that points to the servers actual A record and new port number.

Then the first thing my config did was rewrite the domain name to match that used by my outbound proxy. This way I have one database, users have one domain and the magic happens within the config file. It worked for a little while but then the proxy stopped answering inbound calls.

You could create the same thing using a physically different box for your inbound proxy and a different version of SER. You could then adjust the fr_inv_timer on that box and have t different than the same timer on your outbound proxy (where you want a longer timer).

If you find a better solution I'd like to hear about it.

I am looking to use SER along with Asterisk. I want use * for voicemail and a few other features, and SER for everything else. One thing that I have yet to see is how to limit the amount of time that a phone will ring before SER sends the caller to voicemail at the Asterisk box. Is this configurable in SER, or just a default value?
