The CLI is most definitely not for end users. The CLI is for admins and developers. End users need a purty GUI. FreeSWITCH is like being in the Lego store: all the bricks you can imagine, but you need to put them together. I get the impression that a conference management interface is something that people want/need. My guess is that you won't find one for free, at least not until some generous soul writes one and gives it to the world. :) In the meantime I'm sure there are FreeSWITCHers around who've done some simple Web-based conference call interfaces. They may not be free, or they may be "free" but not open-source, etc. Ask around. -MC On Mon, Oct 11, 2010 at 7:28 PM, <covici@ccs.covici.com> wrote:
I agree in most part, however I am worried about non technical people working with xml to add/dchange extensions and routes, etc. I have gotten used to things somewhat, but what aboutthem. Also, reporting calling patterns from the database is a problem and also, conference status -- I just tried with someone and he didn't like the cli interface at all for conference manipulation.

Hope this helps: I am replacing an SPA9000 (asterisk) with FS, testing on Linux then moving to a mac mini. I tried this 8 months ago and used some of the GUI options. My two cents: stick with XML parms. Things go wrong and a GUI gets in the way, it "hides from view" valuable info. I was able to get FS up and running the first try on Linux. osX 10.6.4 took some work (search for my userid in the list from the last 2 weeks) but eventually worked. Although FS is done I am having one last tough problem no one here (or on IRC) attempted to help with and I can't imagine working on it without having done the XML stuff myself. To answer your question though, this is what I did and recommend:
1. If you haven't already buy the book and study it! You definitely won't need/want a GUI after that. 2. Search the wiki, it has some very good configs to get started, use pieces from multiple samples. Google search help with the wiki too. 3. Search Google to find the pages on this mailing list easily. 4. As a last resort, post on this group.

Hi Again FreeSWITCHers,
I am building a new setup for my "new" house (I have been remodeling for 5 years).
I have build FS via GIT on my "new" xServe hardware (dual Xeon 2Ghz) which I was able to do pretty easily (Hurray!). In the past I have struggled with updating my older FS install on my anemic g3/500 ibook install which is still running by the way.
So, now I am thinking about configuring my new installation, and I being no expert am not looking forward to figuring this all out again. My installation is overall pretty simple with a gateway to POTS (audiocodes MP114) and several Voip providors, one of whom is hopefully still in business (heh).
Anyhow, my first request is for GUI based FS configuration systems? These could run on my OSX box (via X11 or Cocoa), or be some kind of web based thing. It doesn't need to be super customizable, but not having to find/edit the XML files would be lovely. I am a mac person after all.
If there are no recommended GUI's available, then pointing me to the best sample pages for configuration would also be greatly appreciated...
Thanks again for the great software and all of your efforts! Marty
PS looking forward to killing me last Asterisk install... _______________________________________________ FreeSWITCH-users mailing list FreeSWITCH-users@lists.freeswitch.org http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/freeswitch-users UNSUBSCRIBE: http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/options/freeswitch-users http://www.freeswitch.org
