In this chapter, we have introduced Asterisk as an open-source PBX with just a glimpse of the hundreds of features that are built into the system. There are many other features, and since Asterisk has a built-in programming language, many new features can be, and have been, added by end users and programmers. We will see some of these customizations in the later chapters. We also have an idea of the history of Asterisk and why it came into fairly popular use. We have information on websites and books for further information on Asterisk, if necessary. However, from now onwards we will be very TrixBox specific with our discussion.

Overview of this book
TrixBox is a telephone system based on the popular open source Asterisk PBX (Private Branch eXchange) Software. TrixBox allows an individual or organization to setup a telephone system with traditional telephone networks as well as Internet based telephony or VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol). SugarCRM can be integrated with Asterisk, and is bundled with Trixbox offering real power and flexibility.
The book begins by introducing telephony concepts before detailing how to plan a telephone system and moving on to the installation, configuration, and management of a feature packed PBX.
This book is rich with practical examples and tools. It provides examples of well laid out telephone systems with accompanying spreadsheets to aid the reader in building stable telephony infrastructure.
