Asterisk Appliance 50 (AA50) is a stand alone PBX which
runs Embedded Asterisk Business Edition™. It is suitable for the desktop,
or mounting in a typical network closet or restricted access location. The
Asterisk Appliance 50 is ideal for small office environments or as an
extension to a central Asterisk PBX.
The Asterisk Appliance 50 can function not only as a PBX, but also as a
voice mail server, IVR server, conferencing server, VoIP ATA, or VoIP
gateway. It has up to eight analog ports which are configured as FXO or
FXS ports depending upon the product model. Additionally, the built in
four port switch and WAN port allow it to also serve as a basic router.
The AsteriskGUI™ is the interface for the Asterisk Appliance 50. It gives
you the ability to configure the basic hardware and dial plan elements you
need when initially setting up your system, as well as every element
needed to customize your setup. You must create trunks, system users,
conferencing, voice mail, etc. The AsteriskGUI supports the following
browsers:
