-The Asterisk Manager TCP/IP API - AMI
-=====================================
-
-The manager is a client/server model over TCP. With the manager interface,
-you'll be able to control the PBX, originate calls, check mailbox status,
-monitor channels and queues as well as execute Asterisk commands.
-
-AMI is the standard management interface into your Asterisk server.
-You configure AMI in manager.conf. By default, AMI is available on
-TCP port 5038 if you enable it in manager.conf.
-
-AMI receive commands, called "actions". These generate a "response"
-from Asterisk. Asterisk will also send "Events" containing various
-information messages about changes within Asterisk. Some actions
-generate an initial response and data in the form list of events.
-This format is created to make sure that extensive reports do not
-block the manager interface fully.
-
-Management users are configured in the configuration file manager.conf and are
-given permissions for read and write, where write represents their ability
-to perform this class of "action", and read represents their ability to
-receive this class of "event".
-
-The Asterisk manager interface in version 1.0.x of Asterisk is
-not very well standardized. Work is under way to change this
-to Asterisk 1.2. If you develop AMI applications, treat the headers
-in Actions, Events and Responses as local to that particular
-message. There is no cross-message standardization of headers.
-
-If you develop applications, please try to reuse existing manager
-headers and their interpretation. If you are unsure, discuss on
-the asterisk-dev mailing list.
-
-Device status reports
----------------------
-Manager subscribes to extension status reports from all channels,
-to be able to generate events when an extension or device changes
-state. The level of details in these events may depend on the channel
-and device configuration. Please check each channel configuration
-file for more information. (in sip.conf, check the section on
-subscriptions and call limits)
-
-
-Command Syntax
---------------
-Management communication consists of tags of the form "header: value",
-terminated with an empty newline (\r\n) in the style of SMTP, HTTP, and
-other headers.
-
-
-The first tag MUST be one of the following:
-
- * Action: An action requested by the CLIENT to the Asterisk SERVER. Only one "Action" may be outstanding at any time.
- * Response: A response to an action from the Asterisk SERVER to the CLIENT.
- * Event: An event reported by the Asterisk SERVER to the CLIENT
-
-
-Manager commands
-----------------
-Output from the CLI command 'show manager' command:
-
- * Ping: Ping
- * Logoff: Logoff Manager
- * Hangup: Hangup Channel
- * Status: Status
- * Redirect: Redirect
- * Originate: Originate Call
- * MailboxStatus: Check Mailbox
- * Command: Execute Command
- * ExtensionState: Check Extension Status
- * AbsoluteTimeout: Set Absolute Timeout
- * MailboxCount: Check Mailbox Message Count
- * Monitor: Monitor a channel
- * StopMonitor: Stop monitoring a channel
- * ChangeMonitor: Change monitoring filename of a channel
- * IAXpeers: List IAX Peers (Defaults to IAX2)
- * SIPpeers: List SIP peers
- * SIPshowpeer: Show data about one SIP peer
- * Queues: Queues
- * QueueStatus: Queue Status
-
-This list depends on the version of Asterisk you are using, as
-well as which modules that are loaded.

-
-Examples
---------
-Login - Log a user into the manager interface.
-
- Action: Login
- Username: testuser
- Secret: testsecret
-
-Originate - Originate a call from a channel to an extension.
-
- Action: Originate
- Channel: sip/12345
- Exten: 1234
- Context: default
-
-Originate - Originate a call from a channel to an extension without waiting
-for call to complete.
-
- Action: Originate
- Channel: sip/12345
- Exten: 1234
- Context: default
- Async: yes
-
-
-Redirect with ExtraChannel:
- Attempted goal:
- Have a 'robot' program Redirect both ends of an already-connected call
- to a meetme room using the ExtraChannel feature through the management interface.
-
- Action: Redirect
- Channel: Zap/1-1
- ExtraChannel: SIP/3064-7e00 (varies)
- Exten: 680
- Priority: 1
-
-Where 680 is an extension that sends you to a MeetMe room.
-
-There are a number of GUI tools that use the manager interface, please search
-the mailing list archives and the documentation page on the
-http://www.asterisk.org web site for more information.
