Asterisk PBX
Asterisk is basically a open source framework for developing communications applications for telecom domain . This asterisk can make an normal system into a communications server. This is used IP PBX systems,conference servers,VoIP and more.It is used by all the small businesses or large businesses of any size and it can be used in call centers and governments worldwide. Asterisk is capable of handling or interfacing with many traditional Telecom protocols, VoIP protocols, and other codecs.
Asterisk gives capabilities and features like:
Asterisk is mainly used in telecom industry for connection of different phone for communication and it can be used to connect to different telephone services and it is PBX means (Private branching Exchange) so using Asterisk we can create different branching between telephone line.
This PBX is used to make call handling simple means for a large company they will be N number of telephone so creating that many line will be difficult and high maintenance cost so we will be using PBX.so using PBX switch between line will be simple and cost effective.
This PBX is mainly four types :
1.Traditional PBX
2. IP PBX
3. Hosted PBX
4.Virtual PBX
Traditional PBX :
The traditional PBX are used to connect callers to multiple phone lines with multiple extensions.
IP PBX :
The IP PBX are nothing but upgraded version of Traditional PBX and its uses the VOIP for calling.The only problem with this system is installation cost.
Hosted PBX:
The Hosted PBX are generally off-site PBX system. This system depends on the organisation which already have implemented the PBX and they will provide this solution to its clients. This system is used when clients cant install the IP PBX.
Virtual PBX :
This Virtual PBX are generally cost less than Hosted PBX as its system is based on cloud system so it also called as cloud PBX and its completely depends on the internet.
This system is not only used for voice but also for video call we can use the Asterisk as we like because is a open sources solution and it can handling the Different types of calls.So using the Asterisk we can build many application.
But asterisk mainly used in Linux so for programming the Asterisk you have some knowledge about Linux scripting and networking and some telecom related stuff.
Asterisk can perform many tasks because it has all the required functionality to perform Business phone, voicemail server are IVR server and So on.
The Asterisk can also be developed using .net But it requires some additional packages as shown below
Asterisk gives capabilities and features like:
- IVR
- ACD(Automatic Distribution of Calls)
- Audio and Video Conferencing
- Voicemail
- Call Recording
- Fax termination
- CDR(Call Details Records)
Asterisk can used used in IVR also.IVR stands for Interactive Voices Response so for that we can use as Asterisk .
Asterisk is used for call distribution that means we can use it for local office call or can be used for sip call for international number calling all that can be possible by asterisk.
We can make video or audio conferencing by bridging the call using the Asterisk.
we can make the call recording and voice mail all that is possible by asterisk.
This Asterisk CDR is used are billing purpose so when where we make a call we can find all the details of the call like duration of the call and to whom the call was rooted all the information can be collected using the CDR. This will give a complete information all about the call like when the call was started and ended and channel information and we will know the call is answered are not all that information can be monitored using the CDR.

by installing this packages we can write some sample Asterisk programs on Windows.
