Hello,

 

I’m having trouble figuring out how to setup Asterisk so that it’s only a registrar – not passing any RTP data during phone calls.

So far I got this far:

 

Asterisk server holds registration information for phones

Phones register with Asterisk giving it their ip+port where they can be currently contacted

NAT doesn’t seem to be a problem because STUN seems to take care of it nicely for me.

 

The hard part that I don’t understand is this:

 

Phones can call each other BUT all the RTP traffic is passed through Asterisk … I don’t want this, I need that the phones call each other directly based on the registration info stored in Asterisk.  I’m having hard time wrapping my head around this – I think I’m missing some key part – but the way I understand Asterisk is that it listens for requests on the SIP channel, when it gets a request it handles it appropriately using it’s dial plan.  But in the dial plan the only thing that makes sense to use is “dial” and once I do that all the RTP is sent through asterisk (in-out) to the other phone… right?

 

Or maybe the problem is on the phone setup?  I tried to make sure that I’m not specifying any outbound proxy but I do have to specify “proxy” otherwise it will not know where to register … right? 

 

Or maybe I’m all messed up 8-P … I thought I understood asterisk at least a *bit* until I came across this :-)

 

Thanks for any clarification,

Tomas
