Telecommunications/Telephony O'REILLY Asterisk-: The Future of Telephony Discover the open source application that has traditional telephony providers running scared! Asterisk™: The Future of Telephony shows you how to put Asterisk, the open source PBX, to work for you. You'll save money on equipment and support, and you'll finally be in control of your telephone system. If you've worked with telephony in the past, you're familiar with the problem: expensive and inflexible systems that are tuned to the vendor's needs, not yours. Asterisk isn't just a candle in the darkness; it's a whole fireworks show. Asterisk allows you to implement flexible dialplans that support just about any telephony application you want; you can configure it to use traditional analog phones and trunks, in addition to VoIP phones from any vendor and VoIP services from any standards-compliant VoIP service provider. Asterisk supports just about every important network protocol used in the telephony world (and a few of its own, too). Because it is so powerful, configuring Asterisk can seem tricky and difficult. This book will walk you through the process of configuring your first Asterisk system. Along the way, you'll learn how to: • Prepare a system for Asterisk, and install it • Configure Asterisk to use analog phones and trunks • Configure Asterisk to use the SIP and IAX VoIP protocols • Write dialplans, from the simple to the complex • Set up applications, from find-me-follow-me to Music on Hold • Set up features such as speech synthesis and voice recognition • Script Asterisk, using the Asterisk Gateway Interface (AGI) • Manage Asterisk installations • Use DUNDi to create a dynamic, redundant, distributed VoIP network Asterisk is revolutionizing the telecom industry, due in large part to the way it gets along with other network applications. While other PBXs are fighting their inevitable absorption into the network, Asterisk embraces it. If you need to take control of your telephony systems-especially if you're considering a move to VoIP-it's time to embrace the future. Move to Asterisk, and see what the future of telecommunications looks like. Foreword by Mark Spencer, original creator and maintainer of Asterisk and president of Digium. Vissza
