[asterisk-users] Pass through registration / proxy

OK - I'll have to rethink how to solve this problem.  Maybe I made some
assumptions...here's what I'm trying to accomplish:

I've been given a legacy PBX with SIP capabilities.  I need to have SIP
phones connect to Asterisk (for other features, part of the next step) which
passes the calls through to the legacy PBX.  And conversely, calls to that
extension number on the legacy PBX have to ring the SIP phone connected to
Asterisk.

Maybe proxy is the wrong word I chose.  Asterisk is something like a peer to
the legacy PBX.  I thought about setting up individual SIP accounts on the
Asterisk box to connect to the legacy PBX, or maybe a SIP trunk to the
legacy PBX (assuming it can route calls through the SIP trunk to a peer to
reach a phone).  The legacy PBX is a Nortel in case that matters.

I'm supposed to figure this out and present options but having trouble
figuring out if Asterisk would be a peer, or pretend to be many sip agents
registering on the legacy Sip pbx, etc.  I think I'm stuck at the conceptual
level.  (Still a beginner in training - but having fun learning Asterisk)

You can, but maybe you should use a sip proxy (like kamailio) for this task
instead of a back to back user agent like asterisk.

You can listen to events triggered on registration to asterisk and with
realtime intergration add the register to the PBX (or manipulate sip.conf).
This still might be easier to implement compared to (for
example) kamailio if you are new to that.
