Asterisk Management Options
There are several administrative tabs which are used to manage your
Asterisk server and the GUI interface. You may use them often or not at
all, depending on how much interaction you have with your Asterisk
implementation. The management selections are as follows:
Active Channels - This tab provides you with a remote view of the
active calls and devices. It displays a snapshot of the activity of the
server and can be refreshed to view the progression of calls.
System Info - The general system information of the Asterisk Appli-
ance is displayed from this tab, as well as tabs for your ifconfig, disk
partitioning resources, and IP logs.
Backup - This is a housekeeping tab which allows you to back up
Asterisk to preserve your changes. To create a backup, click Take a
Backup and then specify a file name (i.e. the backup date).
Options - The options tab provides several options which allow you to
change the password for your AsteriskGUI logon, modify local exten-
sion and agent settings, as well as utilize the Setup Wizard. The
Advanced/Basic tab allows you to enable or disable advanced options.
The basic options are displayed by default. Please refer to the
Advanced Options section for a description of the advanced options.
