Uwe wrote: Could be helpfull to know what you want to do with opensips :-) Well, since I'm also a newbie, I might jump here and ask my question too, if I may. Due to a recent company merger, I have half a company using IBM Lotus Sametime 8, with a Sametime gateway (which will talk XMPP), and half using Microsoft LCS 2003 which I am told is mostly SIMPLE compliant. Because of interdependencies, it is not possible to upgrade the version of LCS. Each half of the company uses separate domains, but I have private network links between them and internal DNS that I can (mostly) do what I like with. I need to provide presence and text messaging (no voice needed) between the two. Is this something OpenSIPS can do, and if so, does anyone have any sample use cases or config files they can share? ___ Users mailing list Users@lists.opensips.org http://lists.opensips.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/users

Re: [OpenSIPS-Users] Newbie To OpenSIPS
Thank you for the response UK. We are looking at using OpenSIPS on Linux to act as a SIP Router to handoff SIP calls to other carriers that are also using SIP, and explore the use of the agent registration server functionality. I have already previously installed and debugged Asterisk on CentOS to act as a branded appliance issuing DHCP and DNS to VOIP phones. My understanding is that you can route your Asterisk systems to OpenSIPS as a SIP-Proxy-where they can then get router to other SIP or SS7 carriers, or your own Class 4 or 5 environment. Maybe I am misunderstanding as far as what OpenSIPS can actually do? Thanks.

Hi, Opensips is a SIP router not a media gateway. So far you will need something that will take care of comvert TDM/PSTN to sip. There should be lot of examples for this kind of setup.

Re: [OpenSIPS-Users] Newbie To OpenSIPS
Hi, Good question and not easy to answer. ACME is expensive AND you will need somebody to configure it in a way you will need it. So as an redundant option your talking about 100-150K.

Re: [OpenSIPS-Users] Newbie To OpenSIPS
Can OpenSIPS be used as a Session Border controller sitting at my edge passing and receiving SIP traffic to others I SIP peer with? If not, what other open-source would anyone suggest to act as SBC's? I too would rather do it via open-source and x86 or 64bit chip, less costly. Thanks.

OpenSIPS is not an SBC in the way that commercial SBCs are SBCs, and lacks a number of key aspects, including ASIC-assisted processing in the higher-end ones. But it can be used for subscriber or carrier-facing edge duty in the same way SBCs are often used (unnecessarily so). -- Alex Balashov - Principal Evariste Systems Web : http://www.evaristesys.com/ Tel : (+1) (678) 954-0670 Direct : (+1) (678) 954-0671 ___ Users mailing list Users@lists.opensips.org http://lists.opensips.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/users

I was wondering if any of you that have already done this successfully and had any resources or notes from your deployment that you might be willing to share, detailed how-to info for database and making/installing gui, or could recommend which of the many books that exist to read on this. Info seems splintered since the OpenSER split.
