[[toc]] + Astral Astral is a telephone dialler module for use with the [http://www.asterisk.org Asterisk] PBX. Astral provides the telephony/dial service, making it possible to dial directly from phone numbers listed in your Turba address book, or anywhere else where Horde Form elements of the type 'phone' or 'cellphone' are used. ++ Bugs Astral is so new we haven't had time to find any yet! ++ People Astral is being developed by Chris Hastie: chris at raggedstaff dot net ++ Description Astral provides a way to set upaa phone call by clickingon a linkon a link within Horde - most commonly associated with phone numbers listedinin Turba. It achieves this by providing the telephony/dial service through an API. Astral interacts with Asterisk's Managerinterface,interface over a TCP connection, using the Originatecallaction toset up a callset up a call betweenthe configured source extension and thethe configured source extension and the phone number to be dialled. When a dial link is clicked, the configured source extension rings. When that is picked up,AsteriskAsterisk dialsthethe required numberandand connects it to theextensionextension. Astral is primarily useful in a corporate context where telephony is provided by Asterisk and all Horde users have access to the same Asterisk server. Astral has no displayable pages. It attempts to set up the call, pushes a message about the response to the $notification object then redirects to the calling page. ++ Resources [http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+manager+API Asterisk Manager API] [http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+Manager+API+Action+Originate Asterisk Manager Originate action] CustomizeApis ---- Back to the ((Projects|Project List))
