[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk, SER & Jabber

[Callum McGillivray]

Hi all,

 

I was wondering if someone could explain the relationship of Asterisk, SER &
Jabber (XMPP) to me.

 

I understand that there are facilities within Asterisk to use jabber to
notify of incoming calls via XMPP clients, however I'm trying to work out
exactly where the SER server would sit in all of this and what it's actual
role would be.

 

This might seem like a silly question, I'm pretty new to all this and I'm
still trying to get my head around it.

 

What are the common uses for the SER server ?  Why would someone choose to
use the SER server over asterisk alone ?

 

How does it integrate with jabber ?

 

I've spent some time looking over the information on voip-info and at the
iptel site, but it's still not becoming clear to me.

 

Can someone give me a real world example of where they might use this and
why ?

 

Any info would be appreciated at this stage.

 

Thanks,

 

Callum
