[Asterisk-Users] OPENSER / SER and Asterisk

[Douglas Garstang]

If you do this, and not have Asterisk in the call setup path, your going to lose the ability to do a lot of features. What about black/white lists, rate centers, pic codes, intra company extension dialling and other advanced features?
 
Sure, you might be able to do them with SER but good luck trying to find documentation.

	Asterisk does to scale well. Use OpenSER or SER as a
	front end to asterisk. Make all the sip traffic go
	through ser and only go to Asterisk for voicemail, IVR
	i.e media stuff. If you connect to the PSTN using sip,
	then SER would be used for routing all PSTN calls.
