[Freeswitch-users] How to test Freeswitch before moving to production?

[Tim St. Pierre]

Hmm.  Good idea.

I know that you can do this with Aastra phones, and possibly others.

With the Aastra's, there is an XML API that you can use to push notifications, apps, etc. 
  You can push XML to the phone on an HTTP interface (there is an ACL to tell it where to 
allow it from), and you can initiate phone calls, as well as hang up, transfer, etc. 
There is also an action URI, so you can have the phone report what is coming in on caller 
ID, when it is ringing, hung up, etc.

I don't know if you can get lamp status from this or not, but perhaps you could have a 
system where a pattern of calls is generated, and after many repetitions, the system calls 
or a human to check and see that the lights match an expected state.

Just an idea anyway.
