*This document will attempt to provide working OpenSBC configurations for a few commonly used sipxecs calling scenarios. It is a work in progress, so please check back often. For any questions or comments, contact the author (raymund.nones [at] gmail.com) or post to the OpenSBC forum at http://www.opensourcesip.org.*NOTE: I'm currently updating this document to give

Note

This page is work in progress. It will have more screenshots for Linux, OSBC and SipXecs

...

and a more clearer guide.

Scenario

...

#1: Using OSBC for Far End NAT Traversal(FENT) - Public .

Info

This enables remote workers on the WAN to access a

...

sipXecs instance, where

...

sipXecs has a public IP address, from behind NAT routers.

Setup:

  • OS: Fedora 8
  • No.of NIC: two, both with Public IP Address
    SipXecs and OSBC are installed on the same box, each using a separate IP address
  • UA's: Behind NAT
Note

...

Dues to a limitation where the gateway configured in sipxecs always uses port 5060, OSBC can not be used for FENT and SIP Trunking simultaneously.

1.a Registering a NAT'd UA to sipxecs through OSBC with UpperReg(without and with domain rewriting)

In OSBC:
Setting OSBC with UpperReg Mode:1.)

  1. Go to OSBC

...

  1. General Parameters

...

  1. Select B2BUpperReg Mode

...

  1. Press Update (Note: After Update you need to restart OSBC)

Setting OSBC to listen to a specific interface:1.)

  1. Go to OSBC

...

  1. General Parameters

...

  1. Input the interface address at the Interface Address Field and Click Add

...

  1. Press Update (Note: After Update you need to restart OSBC)

Setting OSBC Upper Registration1.)

  1. Go to Upper Registration

...

  1. Input the Route at the Route-List Field and select Add
    for the given example route: [sip:*] sip:sipx.example.com
    this will route all traffic from OSBC to SipX instance at sipx.example.com
    Note

...

  1. For domain rewriting, click the check box for Domain Rewriting (i'll be giving examples regarding the Rewrite Feature on my next update)

    If Rewrite-TO-Domain is check, domain of the To-URI will be rewritten and use the domain parameter of the route-uri.
    If Rewrite-FROM-Domain is check, domain of the From-URI will be rewritten and use the domain parameter of the route-uri

...

  1. Press Update

In SipXecs:1.)

  1. Create a user / extension ex. Uid: 200 Pw: 200

In UA:1.)

  1. Setup your phone
    Uid: 200 Pw: 200
    Domain: sipx.example.com <-- this domain should resolve to the IP address of your SipXecs instance
    Proxy: osbc.example.com <-- tjis domain should resolve to the IP address of your OSBC instance
