Interesting Applications
Many useful applications have been developed that take advantage of the AMI. Here
are a couple of examples.
AsteriskGUI
The AsteriskGUI is an open source PBX administration interface developed by Digium.
It is intended for use on small installations. The AsteriskGUI is written entirely in
HTML and JavaScript and uses the AMI over HTTP for all interaction with Asterisk.
It has been especially popular for use in resource-constrained embedded Asterisk en-
vironments, since it does not require additional software to run on the Asterisk server.
Figure 20-4 shows a page from the AsteriskGUI.
The AsteriskGUI can be obtained from the Digium subversion server:
$ svn co http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk-gui/branches/2.0
It is also bundled as an option with the AsteriskNOW distribution.
