From 3bc7e211a435c49aa70ad227799bd7b0c40356a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: russell Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2007 22:25:12 +0000 Subject: Merge changes from svn/asterisk/team/russell/LaTeX_docs. * Convert most of the doc directory into a single LaTeX formatted document so that we can generate a PDF, HTML, or other formats from this information. * Add a CLI command to dump the application documentation into LaTeX format which will only be include if the configure script is run with --enable-dev-mode. * The PDF turned out to be close to 1 MB, so it is not included. However, you can simply run "make asterisk.pdf" to generate it yourself. We may include it in release tarballs or have automatically generated ones on the web site, but that has yet to be decided. git-svn-id: http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/branches/1.4@58931 f38db490-d61c-443f-a65b-d21fe96a405b --- doc/manager.txt | 311 -------------------------------------------------------- 1 file changed, 311 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 doc/manager.txt (limited to 'doc/manager.txt') diff --git a/doc/manager.txt b/doc/manager.txt deleted file mode 100644 index a0a832c8d..000000000 --- a/doc/manager.txt +++ /dev/null @@ -1,311 +0,0 @@ -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. - -Command Summary --------------- - -Command: Command -Parameters: Command - -Command: ExtensionState -Parameters: Exten, Context, ActionID - -Command: Hangup -Parameters: Channel - -Command: Logoff -Parameters: None - -Command: MailboxCount -Parameters: Mailbox, ActionID - -Command: MailboxStatus -Parameters: Mailbox, ActionID - -Command: Originate -Parameters: Channel, Exten, Context, Priority, Timeout, - CallerID, Variable, Account, Application, Data, Async - -Command: Ping -Parameters: None - -Command: PlayDTMF -Parameters: Channel, Digit - -Command: Redirect -Parameters: Channel, ExtraChannel, Exten, Context, Priority - -Command: Timeout -Parameters: Channel, Timeout - -You can always get more information about a manager command -with the "show manager command " CLI command in Asterisk. - -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. - - -Some standard AMI headers: --------------------------- - - Account: -- Account Code (Status) - AccountCode: -- Account Code (cdr_manager) - ACL: -- Does ACL exist for object ?
