What is DialplanPro?
DialplanPro is a 32 bit Windows Development Tool for setting up and controlling
Asterisk* PBX servers using a Windows Graphical User Interface (GUI). While
easy enough to grasp for end users, DialplanPro also provides a productive development
environment for Asterisk Consultants and professionals managing one or many customer
deployments.
Is DialplanPro Just another GUI (Graphical Interface)?
DialplanPro strives to be more than just a GUI to setup and administer
Asterisk PBX servers.
DialplanPro is designed to be a real development tool
to create, maintain and manage Asterisk PBX servers from a easy to use Windows based
environment. Special software written in-house for the Linux based Asterisk
computer allows DialplanPro to communicate directly with Asterisk PBX server.
What can I do with DialplanPro?
While DialplanPro is still in beta, the software itself is very functional
and provides a rich, easy environment for developing sophisticated Dialplans and
updating your Asterisk PBX server automatically over the network.
Visual Menu Builder
Development of DialplanPro has centered around the idea that 90% of the
work necessary to create most dialplans was actually the same, just different variations.
Certain
tasks such as ringing an extension or group, playing sounds and sending
callers to a queue were always needed from one dialplan to the next. Menu
Widgets are built-in, reuseable graphical elements used in the Visual Menu Builder
to represent these common functions (like ringing an extension) and translate
them into Asterisk script for you.
Instead of having to type out a basic skeleton of a dialplan or risk mistakes with
cut 'n paste methods, DialplanPro allows you to create sophisticated and complex IVR's just by using the point and click interface.
Menu Widgets include:
Dial Extension, Dial Group, Dial Hunt Group, Transfer to a Menu, Time Branch Menu
transfer, Conditional Branch Menu Transfer, Terminate Call, Play Sound, Wait, Goto
Voicemail, Custom Script Line, Set Variable, Cepstral*
Text to Speech, FirebirdSQL Database Access, Read Digits, Send to Queue and Goto Conference.
Asterisk Script Editor Support
DialplanPro's script editor supports both Asterisk "flat
line" script as
well as AEL2 specification with syntax highlighting and Parameter Hints. Save
your scripts to the Code Library or
reference them in your project. You can
also the Script Line widget in the Visual Menu Builder to access your scripts.
Flash Demo. With a small setting change,
you can remotely parse and error check your AEL2 scripts against the AELPARSE utility installed on the Asterisk server from your Windows computer.
AsterPas FastAGI Script Server Support
DataTrak also develops
AsterPas, a powerful and flexible multi-threaded
FastAGI Script server using the Object Pascal language. DialplanPro's support
for AsterPas now includes Editor Syntax Highlighting for .pas files as well as Compile/Error Checking of scripts. New features planned are Parameter hints, FastAGI server
management for DialplanPro projects as well as a new FastAGI Menu Widget for the
Visual Menu Builder. |
