[OpenSBC] Couple of questions

[Jonas G. <jon...@gm...>]

Hello

I've been checking OpenSBC and got a couple of questions.

I can provide my own configuration by implementing a XML-RPC server, right?
But what if I just want to provide the routing information when it's
requested (when a new call arrives)?

I want to do the same with UA authentication (REGISTER). I want to lookup
the
account/password when the REGISTER transaction is received.

I want to monitor all calls on each UA (to always have the current state of
a UA (as in busy/free)). What is the best way to do that?
How do I control calls that UA's have? (like put them on hold, disconnect
etc)

Last question is about IVR. How do I create different IVR applications? I've
tried to figure out how SBCIVRHandler is invoked, but it's lot of code to
dig in.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
  Jonas

Close but not quite.    OpenSBC allows you to design your own config 
pages by providing XML-RPC hooks so an external web interface maybe able 
to edit config info outside of OpenSBC Config Pages.  OpenSBC will still 
fetch information locally.

Work is currently in progress to introduce diameter support in OpenSBC.  
You could provide route and auth info to OpenSBC by implementing a 
diameter server.   We are expecting this feature to be included in 
version 1.1.6

That feature is a switchboard feature and should be a functionality of a 
PBX and not an SBC.

You have looked at the right place.  I believe the IVR handler is one of 
the easiest to understand among all the OSBC handlers.   There is 
currently work being done to have OpenSBC support VXML via openVXI.   
This should be out with 1.1.6 as well.

Let me take that back.   You may indeed create your own XML-RPC server 
by implementing the methods found in OSSAppConfig::InitXMLRPC().  There 
is not much has been said and written about this easter egg in OpenSBC.  
I am impressed that you went this deep to figure it out.   I am 
currently contemplating on introducing a real SQL Database to OpenSBC.   
I wonder if this is a popular wish item.   Feel free to comment on it.

    RegisterMethod( "Config.GetListItem" );
    RegisterMethod( "Config.SetListItem" );
    RegisterMethod( "Config.AppendListItem" );
    RegisterMethod( "Config.GetListSize" );
    RegisterMethod( "Config.GetString" );
    RegisterMethod( "Config.SetString" );
    RegisterMethod( "Config.GetInteger" );
    RegisterMethod( "Config.SetInteger" );
    RegisterMethod( "Config.GetBoolean" );
    RegisterMethod( "Config.SetBoolean" );
    RegisterMethod( "Config.Subscribe" );
    RegisterMethod( "Config.Changed" );

You have a roadmap on the development page, but I guess it's for the
stack itself.
When is 1.1.6 going to be released? Is 1.1.6 that is currently being developed?

I know. I'm thinking about creating a PBX on top of SBC.

When is the IVRHandler invoked, and for what numbers?
And how do I know which number the current session was invoked for?

[OpenSBC] REDIRECT functionality and LOCATION Service

[Chandra S. A. <cag...@ve...>]

Guys,

 

I am a new OpenSBC user and need some basic information. Please help me with
the following doubts:

 

1. Does it support REDIRECT functionality?

2. Does it support only co-located "location service"? Or it has provision
for remote access also?

 

Thanks in advance,

CS

Yes it does.   The following entry in B2BUA Route should redirect the 
call instead

[sip:613*] sip:61...@fw...;action="redirect"

I am not sure what you mean by "location service" here....  Please 
elaborate.

Re: [OpenSBC] REDIRECT functionality and LOCATION Service

[Chandra S. A. <cag...@ve...>]

Joegen,

Thanks for your response. 

For location service I intended to know if OpenSBC has interfaces t query a
remote database and get the results or it can query a local database only?

Please apprise me with your answer.

TIA,
CS
