Flash Operator Panel is a switchboard type application for the Asterisk PBX. It runs on a web browser with the flash plugin. It is able to display information about your PBX activity in real time. The layout is configurable (button sizes and colors, icons, etc). You can have more than 100 buttons active per screen. It also supports contexts: you can have one server running and many different client displays (for hosted PBX, different departments, etc). It can integrate with CRM software, by poping up a web page (and passing the CLID) when a specified button is ringing.

What is FOP?

See FOP2

Flash Operator Panel is a switchboard type application for the Asterisk PBX. It runs on a web browser with the flash plugin. It is able to display information about your PBX activity in real time. The layout is configurable (button sizes and colors, icons, etc). You can have more than 100 buttons active per screen. It also supports contexts: you can have one server running and many different client displays (for hosted PBX, different departments, etc). It can integrate with CRM software, by poping up a web page (and passing the CLID) when a specified button is ringing.

You can see at a glance

  • What extensions are busy, ringing or available
  • Who is talking and to whom (clid, context, priority)
  • SIP and IAX registration status and reachability
  • Meetme room status (number of participants)
  • Queue status (number of users waiting)
  • Message Waiting Indicator and count
  • Parked channels
  • Logged in Agents

You can perform these actions

  • Hang-up a channel
  • Transfer a call leg via drag&drop
  • Originate calls via drag&drop
  • Barge in on a call using drag&drop
  • Set the caller id when transferring or originating a call
  • Automatically pop up web page with customer details
  • Click-to-Dial from a web page
  • Mute/Unmute meetme participants


It has two parts: a server writen in PERL, and the flash client. It was tested and its known to work under Windows, Mac and Linux browsers.

Installation

Download and extract the package

cd /opt
wget http://www.asternic.org/files/op_panel-snapshot.tar.gz
tar zxvf op_panel-snapshot.tar.gz
rm -f op_panel-snapshot.tar.gz
cd op_panel-snapshot
mkdir /var/www/html/panel
cp flash/* /var/www/html/panel

Allowing Access to Asterisk


Edit the file /etc/asterisk/manager.conf
In the [general] section make sure

enable=yes

Next you need to create a username and password that FOP will use to access Asterisk. In the example below change username and password to your preferred username and password.
Edit the file /etc/asterisk/manager.conf

[username]
secret = password
deny=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
permit=127.0.0.1/255.255.255.0
read = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user
write = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user

Configuring Access to Asterisk

Edit the file /opt/op_panel-snapshot/op_server.cfg and enter the appropriate detials

manager_host=127.0.0.1
manager_port=5038
manager_user=username
manager_secret=password

The last item you need to do is to say what buttons you want diaplyed.
edit the file /usr/src/op_panel-0.30/op_buttons.cfg
Example

[SIP/2001]
Position=2
Label="2001 Billy Bob"
Extension=2001
Context=internal
Icon=2
VoiceMailExt=3001@internal
GroupCount=1

[Zap/1]
Position=n
Label="Channel 1"
Extension=-1
Icon=2

[Zap/2]
Position=n
Label="Channel 2"
Extension=-1
Icon=2

[PARK/701]
Position=38
Icon=3
Extension=700
Label="Park 701"

[PARK/702]
Position=n
Icon=3
Extension=700
Label="Park 702"

[IAX2/priv]

Label="DUNDi inbound"
Extension=-1
Icon=1

[_IAX2/192.168.*]

chkconfig --levels 2345 httpd on
