Installation

Prerequisites:
- ser version 8.12 or greater
- python 2.2 or newer, 2.3 is recommended.
for python versions older than 2.3, the python-optik module
(version 1.4.1 or newer) is required.

MediaProxy consists of three components:

1. mediaproxy.so is the SER module
2. proxydispatcher.py does distribution and load balancing of SER request
3. mediaproxy.py is the Media Proxy server

The first two components must run on the same machine where SER runs.
The third component may run either on the same machine or on (multiple)
remote servers.

For details about the mediaproxy architecture please read the included README
file as well as the Readme file from the mediaproxy module from SER.
Details about command line options for the programs can be found in the
Readme file as well. A summary of the command line options is displayed by
each command when using the -h or --help command line option.

For CVS:

cd sip_router
cvs update -Pd

check that you have the modules/mediaproxy directory

make clean # clean old files in case you haven't updated cvs for a long time
make
make install

For stable tree:

copy the directory modules/mediaproxy from development tree
and run a make clean inside it. then recompile the module issuing "make" in
that directory. Copy the module mediaproxy.so to /usr/lib/ser/modules/ser/

For both cases, copy the 2 files listing asymmetric clients from
modules/mediaproxy/config to /etc/ser/

To configure the mediaproxy module in the ser.cfg file please check the
Readme included with the mediaproxy module (available in the SER
modules/mediaproxy directory). Also checkthe example ser.cfg file included
there too.
