Third-party modules


These modules are contributions from the FreePBX community; however, they are unsupported by FreePBX. The following table shows a list of the most-used third-party modules and a brief description:

Module name

Description

Bulk DIDs

This module is intended to import a bulk of DIDs and assign them a destination as the Inbound Routes module does through a CSV file.

Bulk Extensions

Bulk Extensions uses a CSV file to import and export extensions.

Custom Contexts

This creates special contexts that allow or deny access to the IP-PBX features and dialplans.

Inventory

This helps the System Administrator to perform an inventory of devices.

Set CallerID

This module sets the CallerID during a call. Some providers require a unique CallerID in order to provide their services.

Voicemail Admin

This module is intended to offer a Web interface to all users to manage their voicemails.

Boss Secretary

The Boss Secretary module allows you to create a ring group of one or more bosses and one or more assistants. In this mode, the assistant works as a firewall that permits or denies the calls that go to the boss extension. The assistant answers all the calls and if desired, transfers the call to the boss directly.

This feature is activated or deactivated by the toggle function *255<ext number> but no visual indicator is activated.

Agent Administration

The Agent Administration module allows you to add agents to your IP-PBX. The used fields are agent ID, name, and password.

Endpoint Manager

This module allows you to manage all the supported endpoints (IP-phones), create templates, and provision them.

Capture Groups

This module is used to create capture groups in an easy way.
