    5 This module provides a public address interface for paging 
     5This module provides layout control of the Flash Operator Panel (FOP)

    11 This module provides a destination that can be selected from another module such as the miscellaneous application module. This destination connects to the audio line interfaces on the PBX hardware so allowing paging over a PA system.  
    12  
    13 The extaudio module also controls the audio mixer to set volume levels for interfacing to a public address system. 
    14  
    15 Normally an external audio input (such as from a radio) is passed through to the external audio output (the PA system). If there is a call to the extaudio destination then the audio input is muted and instead the caller's voice is output to the PA system. At the end of the call the normal audio (such as from a radio) is resumed.

     11This module populates a 'panel' database table with layout information relating to FOP.  
     12Some versions of retrieve_op_conf_from_mysql.pl will detect the existence of the 'panel' database table and use the layout information to generate the FOP configuration file op_buttons_additional.cfg

    1915------------- 
    2016 
    21 This module expects the alsa mixer to exist on the local system with "Line", "PCM" and "Capture" audio interfaces 
    22 This module requires one of the asterisk console modules to be loaded - either chan_oss.so or preferably chan_alsa.so 
     17This module requires support for the 'panel' database table in retrieve_op_conf_from_mysql.pl . Please see Ticket #2699 for details.

    2520----------- 
    2621 
    27 This module is not compatible with some implementations of live/streaming music on hold (i.e. those implementations that cannot coexist with chan_oss.so/chan_alsa.so) 
    28  
     22The layout preview is crude. It gives an indication of the positioning of the layout areas but it does not attempt to simulate the FOP appearance
