Chapter 4. OpenSER Standard Configuration

The OpenSER standard configuration file is installed at /etc/openser/openser.cfg. It is one of the simplest configuration files for OpenSER. It is the ideal script to start explaining the functioning of OpenSER. There are several sections that you should be familiar with, along with basic modules, parameters, and functions.

By the end of this chapter you will be able to:

  • Identify the sections of the openser.cfg configuration file

  • Identify the limitations of the standard configuration

  • Use the ngrep utility to track SIP transactions

  • Use the XLOG module to log the route processing

  • Use the append_hf command to mark packets tracked in the ngrep utility

The standard configuration is a good starting point. It has a minimal functionality, it does not support authentication, so you can connect your SIP phones without a password. Anyway, you can call from one phone to another and we will test it later.
