[asterisk-users] MWI for non-subscribed Realtime peers?

[Jan Blom]

Let me answer my own question. That may save someone's frustration in the future.

The problem is that the Realtime peer never gets loaded, since SIP REGISTER and SIP SUBSCRIBE never reaches Asterisk.

Doing a simple "sip show peer az5134939706 load" from CLI will force load of peer. However, I needed a way of having this done automatically on startup for all (many!) peers. A number of methods are suggested by people (use Google) but they all seemed like hacks to me.

Finally I realized, after rereading chan_sip.c, the solution was to force load the peer from dialplan. If I do this just before I send a caller to voicemail, I can be sure the peer is available when MWI NOTIFY should be sent. Just add this to the dialplan:

same => n,NoOp(${SIPPEER(az5134939706)})


Good luck with your Realtime MWI hacking!


Best regards,
Jan

Hi,

I have an Asterisk behind an OpenSIPS proxy. The proxy handles registrations and also SIP SUBSCRIBE for MWI. The Asterisk are configured to send NOTIFY to the proxy even when the SUBSCRIBE haven't been received. I can configure a user in sip.conf that works:

[az5134939706]
type=friend
host=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx  (IP of proxy)
port=5060
nat=no
mailbox=1234 at customer
subscribemwi=no
defaultuser=az5134939706


Every time a voicemail has been left in the mailbox 1234 at customer, a NOTIFY is sent off to the proxy. Remember, the peer doesn't register or send SUBSCRIBE to Asterisk, but "subscribemwi=no" forces NOTIFY to be sent anyway.

However, I am struggling to get the same thing working for Realtime peers. I have "rtcachefriends=yes" set in sip.conf. But I never see the peer loaded from database and no NOTIFY is ever sent.

Is it possible to user Realtime this way? What will trigger loading of the peer?


Best regards,
Jan Blom
