I've had this same problem, trying to do forwarding to voicemail. If the voicemail does not answer (using a separate vm server -- asterisk) then the invite keeps going forever. In fact, the sip phone rings forever even after the original inviter has canceled. I didn't add the append_branch("sip:parallel@localhost:9"). Is that necessary for some reason? /a - zaki - wrote: > Hi, > > Thank you for your reply. > I've already used fr_invite_timer. > In this case, if SER send INVITE request, but nothing replied by endpoint. > So SER try to re-send INVITE request again and again, and I'd like to > change the number of retry of INVITE request. > Do you have any workaround for this? > > Best Regards, > > >>You can use the fr_invite_timer: >> >>http://www.iptel.org/ser/doc/seruser/seruser.html#REPLYPROCESSINGSECTION >> >>Klaus >> >> >>>-----Original Message----- >>>From: - zaki - [mailto:zaki@edge.jp] >>>Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2003 6:11 PM >>>To: serusers(a)lists.iptel.org >>>Subject: [Serusers] stop rety >>> >>> >>> >>>Hi, >>> >>>With following situation, >>> >>>* endpoint exists in location >>> (found by serctl ul show) >>> >>>* but endpoint is actually dead >>> >>>if someone call the endpoint, then SER try to send INVITE request >>>again and again. >>> >>>Could anyone please let me know how to change the number of retry >>>in this situation? >>> >>>Best Regards, >>> >>>-- >>> - zaki - YAMAZAKI Noriyuki, Director of EDGE Co., Ltd. >>> +81-3-5749-9621(Phone), +81-3-5749-9910(Fax), zaki(a)edge.jp >>> >>> >>>_______________________________________________ >>>Serusers mailing list >>>serusers(a)lists.iptel.org >>>http://lists.iptel.org/mailman/listinfo/serusers >>> >>> > > > _______________________________________________ > Serusers mailing list > serusers(a)lists.iptel.org > http://lists.iptel.org/mailman/listinfo/serusers

If the destination does not send a final reply, SER cancels at fr_inv_timer. -jiri It is necessary if you wish to forward to this address. I suppose you don't want to forward to a sink destination and this is just a value taken from an example.
