FreeSWITCH 1.8

By: Anthony Minessale II, Giovanni Maruzzelli

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.

Preface

Asking for Help


OK, OK, we've all been there. Many of us have been there many and many times. The best ones between us are there at least once a day. Asking for help when you hit the outer border of your knowledge. This simply means you're pushing yourself beyond your limits. And this is good, if becomes an occasion to actually move your limits.

Help is there. FreeSWITCH has two incredible strengths: one is an exceptional community, extremely knowledgeable, and very respectful and caring toward newcomers. You let the community know you've done your part, you've researched the documentation and the archives, you've started from a sound configuration, but the problem is still there. Top experts will ask you for more info and will actually try to help you.

The other strength is that FreeSWITCH developers and top contributors are also professional consultants with decades of experience you can tap for commercial grade support and consulting. Your project technical success is assured!
