Greetings Folks,
This blog is to explore Asterisk PBX. I would post Asterisk based techs and infos on this blog.
First, what is Asterisk PBX:
It is a open source software switch / PBX / Telephony System created by Mark Spencer of Digium in 1999.
Like any PBX, it allows attached telephones to make calls to one another, and to connect to other telephone services, such as the public switched telephone network (PSTN) and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services. Its name comes from the asterisk symbol, *.
Asterisk is released under a dual license model, using the GNU General Public License (GPL) as a free software license and a proprietary software license to permit licensees to distribute proprietary, unpublished system components.
Originally designed for Linux, Asterisk also runs on a variety of different operating systems including NetBSD, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and Solaris. Asterisk is small enough to run in an embedded environment like Customer-premises equipment-hardware running OpenWrt.
The PBX comes with AGI and AMI which are API. Using these APIs it is possible to design the call flow or working of the telephony system with almost any programming language.
Lets see Asterisk Techs in the forthcoming posts.Hope you all enjoy.
Please share your feedback to improve the blog.
Warm greetings,
Asterisk Techs Team :)
