1. Introduction

In this tutorial we will introduce to you the functions which you could use in extensions.conf.

NOTE: These functions are valid for the Asterisk version 1.2. and up.

They will replace some of the application from the previous Asterisk versions. With their help you will make your dialplan, control and manage your calls.

NOTE:Information about the functions could be obtained by typing the command show functions

Information about a particular function could be obtained by typing show function <function name> on the Asterisk CLI

These applications are tested with our IAX softphone Idefisk. You could download it from here. For more information about this softphone, please read our tutorial.

If you would like to test this application with the SIP channel you could read our tutorials about the SIP Softphones to learn how to configure them to work with Asterisk PBX
