This product allows Zope to connect to and manage an Asterisk PBX.

Motivation

Asterisk PBX (like zope) is a free (GPL) project that allows all aspects of telephony to be controlled from a GNU/Linux or UNIX server. Increasingly telephony applications need to interoperate with web applications, hence there is a need for a component that allows Zope to control an Asterisk server.

For your convenience, this project is dual-licensed under the GPL and ZPL licenses.

Progress

We are still at a very early stage of development, so there is not much to show. For better results you might want to obtain the very latest version of this package from my SVN repository.

Current Features:

• Provides non TTW access to the Manager API.
• Provides TTW access to the PBX Status
• Provides an interactive console, and TTW support for issuing console commands and recieving replies.
• Provide detailed info about an extension or a channel.
• A handy feature that provides documentation for the API within the management interface.
• A management screen that will provide the status of all IAX2 peers.
• The ability to originate calls and hangup channels.

Currently Implementing:

• A management screen that will list out all extensions in a context.
• A management screen that will allow the user to berowse contexts.
