I know many people run/use a PBX of some sort, and I figured I'd share what I discovered: I have a mobile phone that gets a lot of calls directly, but I wanted to log those calls to a CRM. This is a partial solution.. Android Notifier ( http://code.google.com/p/android-notifier/) is an app that can be installed on the android and send a UDP message to a server (or also to a desktop client) when calls come in. The desktop client can launch a website to pull data for a screen pop of some sort.... It seemed to sometimes lose sync (when wifi went off and then came back..) but it's got the last 10 messages or so. I have it send to UDP, and this small node.js script saves the time-stamped messages to a file. (Note: timestamp is in milliseconds..) //http://code.google.com/p/android-notifier/wiki/NotificationProtocol

//DEVICE_ID/NOTIFICATION_ID/EVENT_TYPE/EVENT_CONTENTS var fs = require('fs'); var log = fs.createWriteStream("incoming_call_log.txt", {'flags': 'a'} ); var dgram = require("dgram"); var server = dgram.createSocket("udp4"); server.on("message", function (msg, rinfo) { // console.log("server got: " + msg + " from " + rinfo.address + ":" + rinfo.port); // console.log("Got: " + Date.now() + "/" + rinfo.address +"/" + rinfo.port + "/" + msg); log.write(Date.now() + "/" + rinfo.address +"/" + rinfo.port + "/" + msg + "\n"); }); server.on("listening", function () { var address = server.address(); console.log("server listening " + address.address + ":" + address.port); }); server.bind(10600, "YOUR IP");

And you can background and disown it, so it stays running.. after you launch node.js. Due to the abnormal method of submitting - not HTTP - I didn't know how to write anything in another language to do this. I suppose you could do it with python twisted. And for a screenpop.. set the desktop notifier to launch: /home/folder/web.sh "deviceId={deviceId}&id={id}&type={type}&data={data}" web.sh contains:

#!/bin/bash echo "$*"; #>> /tmp/websh.log; #logging... var=$* /usr/bin/chromium-browser "http://website.com/script.php?$var"

Anyway, this is just the basics. Feel free to share how you integrate it. I didn't see the specs on how to decrypt the signal algorithimically, but it's part of the desktop app. -Avi Marcus
