Flash Operator Panel
Flash Operator Panel is an application that runs in a web browser using Flash. It is
primarily used as an interface to see which extensions are currently ringing or in use.
It also includes the ability to monitor conference room and call queue status. Some call
actions can be performed as well, such as barging into a call and transferring calls.

Conclusion
The Asterisk Manager Interface provides an API for monitoring events from an Asterisk
system, as well as requesting that Asterisk perform a wide range of actions. An HTTP
interface has been provided and a number of frameworks have been developed that
make it easier to develop applications. All of this information, as well as the examples
we looked at at the end of this chapter, should help get you thinking about what new
applications you might be able to build using the Asterisk Manager Interface.
