Feature Panel

Currently this is an unofficial module that must be manually installed. It can be downloaded from this unofficial repository. See this FreePBX module tutorial if you need help understanding how to install it.

Alternately, here is how to get and install this file (version 0.0.2) using wget:

cd /var/www/html/admin/modules
wget http://www.zelie.com/~n3glv/asterisk/featurepanel-0.0.2.tgz
tar -xzvf featurepanel-0.0.2.tgz
rm -f featurepanel-0.0.2.tgz
 
 

[size=20]Description[/size]

This unofficial FreePBX module allows you to see the status of certain features on extensions that are normally activated/deactivated using *xx feature codes. The status of those features can be modified from within this module's web page.

Features that can be checked or modified currently include:

  • Call Forward All
  • Call Forward Busy
  • Call Forward No Answer/Unavailable
  • Call Waiting
  • DND (Do Not Disturb)
  • User Intercom

Note: This module can only be used to view or change settings that are set within FreePBX/Asterisk. Some features may be activated at the device level (IP phone or VoIP adapter) and this module cannot interact with those settings. If you want to be able to control these settings from this module, you should turn off these features in the device configuration settings of phones and VoIP adapters, so that they will be controlled by Asterisk and FreePBX only.

[size=20]Installation of Beta version[/size]

Download the latest Beta version using the instructions in the first paragraph.

If you did not use the instructions for getting and installing the module using wget, then expand the .tgz file into the /var/www/html/admin/modules directory - it will create a new directory called featurepanel. Make sure the group and owner of that directory are asterisk and that the permissions match that of the other module subdirectories.

Browse to FreePBX, Tools | Module Administration. You should see an entry for Feature Panel. Click on it, click install, then click process and the red bar as usual.
