After a default installation, out of the box, you'll find that FreeSWITCH is already able to do an astonishing amount of things! We've put a lot of effort into writing the mother of all demos, and the configuration that gets installed by default is just that, a big FreeSWITCH demo. When we add a new feature to FreeSWITCH, when we write a new module, or when someone comes out with a novel, clever way to use FreeSWITCH, we add some lines to the example configuration. Please note, we'll repeat that again later, that the example demo configuration is not intended at all to be used in a production system. In it, you'll find a mine of snippets waiting for you to reuse, techniques to do things, and many different ways to organize information about users, gateways, applications, context, and scripts. It is an enormous repository of FreeSWITCH applied knowledge, and is working right at the end of installation. So, please use it until you feel acquainted...

Overview of this book
FreeSWITCH is an open source telephony platform designed to facilitate the creation of voice and chat-driven products, scaling from a soft-phone to a PBX and even up to an enterprise-class soft-switch. This book introduces FreeSWITCH to IT professionals who want to build their own telephony system.
This book starts with a brief introduction to the latest version of FreeSWITCH. We then move on to the fundamentals and the new features added in version 1.6, showing you how to set up a basic system so you can make and receive phone calls, make calls between extensions, and utilize basic PBX functionality.
Once you have a basic system in place, we’ll show you how to add more and more functionalities to it. You’ll learn to deploy the features on the system using unique techniques and tips to make it work better.
Also, there are changes in the security-related components, which will affect the content in the book, so we will make that intact with the latest version. There are new support libraries introduced, such as SQLite, OpenSS, and more, which will make FreeSWITCH more efficient and add more functions to it. We’ll cover these in the new edition to make it more appealing for you.
