Hi Paul,
Thanks, your questions put me in the right direction. Here's my set up:
i have the following virtual machines:
1 - OCS Front End Server
1 - OCS Mediation Server
1 - Windows 2003 Server AD
1 - Trixbox 2.8
i have 2 OCS client users:
User01 - tel:+5001
User02 - tel:+5002
I configured the next hop connections of my OCS MED server pointing them to my Trixbox server.
And for the normalisation rules are as follows:
Phone Pattern Regular Expression: ^(5\d{2}\d+)$
Translation Pattern regular expression: +$1
On the trixbox server, I created a trunk for OCS
Trunk Name : OCS
PEER Details :
host=192.168.100.4
type=peer
qualify=yes
transport=tcp
insecure=very
port=5060
canreinvite=yes
fromdomain=litwareinc.com
context=from-OCS
Incoming Settings :
User context : OCSUser
host=192.168.100.4
transport=tcp
port=5060
insecure=very
type=peer
context=from-OCS
and 2 extensions 5003 and 5004
I also configured 2 outbound routes to my OCS MED Server
[outrt-001-9_outside]
include => outrt-001-9_outside-custom
exten => _9.,1,Macro(user-callerid,SKIPTTL,)
exten => _9.,n,Set(_NODEST=)
exten => _9.,n,Macro(record-enable,${AMPUSER},OUT,)
exten => _9.,n,Macro(dialout-trunk,3,${EXTEN:1},,)
exten => _9.,n,Macro(outisbusy,)
; end of [outrt-001-9_outside]
[outrt-002-ToOCS]
include => outrt-002-ToOCS-custom
exten => _5XXX,1,Macro(user-callerid,SKIPTTL,)
exten => _5XXX,n,Set(_NODEST=)
exten => _5XXX,n,Macro(record-enable,${AMPUSER},OUT,)
exten => _5XXX,n,Macro(dialout-trunk,3,${EXTEN},,)
exten => _5XXX,n,Macro(outisbusy,)
; end of [outrt-002-ToOCS]
I was studying the following lines from mick breeze's blog but they didn't seem fit for my setup
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[from-ocs]
exten => _X.,1,Answer
exten => _X.,2,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@siptrunk,,tr)
#include extensions-away-status.conf
[from-siptrunk]
exten => _X.,1,Set(numDialled=+${EXTEN:Number_of_X_to_ignore})
exten => _X.,2,Set(__FROM_DID=${EXTEN})
exten => _X.,3,Answer
exten => _X.,4,Dial(SIP/${numDialled}@ocs,,tr)
exten => _X.,4,Dial(SIP/${numDialled}@ocs)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I tried using another one which is from an integration of Asterisk(not trixbox) and OCS2007. Though trixbox is asterisk based, it's config file structure differ a little with Asterisk. I got a little confused when i tried following the instructions from:<http://blogs.technet.com/b/gclark/archive/2008/10/09/asterisk-1-6-with-office-communications-server-2007.aspx
i placed the following codes on extensions_custom.conf instead of extensions.conf:
(i did some modification to accommodate my two extensions)
[from-OCS]
exten => _+XXXX,1,Answer()
exten => _+XXXX,n,Set(CALLERID(name)="OCS call")
exten => _+XXXX,n,Set(CALLERID(num)=${CALLERID(num):1})
exten => _+XXXX,n,Goto(${EXTEN:1},1)
exten => 5003,1,Answer()
exten => 5003,n,Dial(SIP/5003,20,tr)
exten => 5003,n,Hangup
exten => 5004,1,Answer()
exten => 5004,n,Dial(SIP/5004,20,tr)
exten => 5004,n,Hangup
include => outbound
[outbound]
exten => _5XXX,1,Set(EXT=+${EXTEN})
exten => _5XXX,n,Dial(SIP/SIP_TRUNK/${EXT})
exten => _5XXX,n,Busy
#include extensions-away-status.conf
I used putty to monitor the activity of asterisk then tried to make calls from my OCS clients to my extensions and vice versa. So far both outbound routes with different dial patterns connects calls from my sip extensions to my OCS clients. I'm trying to
experiment a little more. I have an existing trixbox server on production and i'll see if i could route calls from OCS to this server thru my virtual Trixbox Server. I have initially tried connecting two trixbox servers using IAX trunks.
