SIP in higher education

["Dinesh" <>]

Hi Stephen,

Well today, I managed to get something to work.

I replaced one nic on the SER machine, and using the xten lite phone behind
ser.  I was able to call between my asterisk server and the ccm using sip.
I already have ccm and Asterisk talking. But the problem happens, I think
because of proxy redirects in ser.  Public to Public IP is fine.  But what I
wanted to do is Public to Private.  

Since my asterisk is on a public ip and a private ip and can talk to my ccm.
Just want to ask the sip.edu community, if we use the asterisk as a bridge
between ser and the ccm?   Asterisk can call ccm, and ccm can call asterisk.
Now can ser call ccm going through asterisk?

Stephen, some pointers on the firewall mapping and the placement of the SER
would be useful:)

Regards,

Dinesh.

Hi Stephen,

I had 2 nic cards on the SER machine.  One internal and One external.  I was
on the internal address, talking to the SER machine's external address for
registering my xten phone.  Obviously when I tried to register it took my
nat public address.  The reason why I did this, is because my ccm is on a
internal address.

Now I am thinking of just removing one nic card and trying to contact my
Asterisk Server with the SIP external IP address.  As I have asterisk server
on a public ip.  I will try it later if this works to the same with call
manager or do some intresting firewalling natting for 5060 for my call
manager.

To answer your question, I tried to call extension(9804 or 65869804) which
is behind the call manager from the SER SIP phone (xten lite).

I know what exactly you mean, when I was interfacing the cisco call manager
and asterisk, I had to worry about that.  Spend a quite a day trying to
figure this out.  

I will follow your other email also and get back to you shortly.  I will
also try the SER with one NIC instead of 2.

I think it would be great with the screen shots.  In Singapore there is
quite number of ccm installations, specially in the gov sector.  I think if
you guys made a screenshots, more people will be able to join the sip.edu
project.



Regards,

Dinesh.

Hi

Can I presume you have the CCM calling the SER SIP Phone?

The string is the dialed digits. 
CCM ip address 192.168.63.242
Dialed digits 3575

In SER
 rewritehost("192.168.63.242");
then route call with
 t_relay();

On the call manager make sure the SIP Trunk on the CCM has a Calling 
Search Space (CSS) that is allowed to make calls to extensions, ie the 
CCS has the necessary Partitions added.  - Please excuse the Cisco Call 
Manager speak ;-).

You might need to look at an ngrep trace (try ngrep -p -q -W byline port 
5060)


Good luck and let me know how you go as I can probably help a bit more 
that these comments.

I guess we should document this with some screen shots for the Cookbook.

Stephen
