Hi guys ... i never thought that my little manager appl will wake up 
with this

and probably "linksys" is a little close.. But...thanks digium...

ok..

*what is this*
AstManager is a manager application for asterisk Mysql realtime, works 
with 1.2.0 X and CVS HEAD.. (sorry no 1.0.9).. Is build in c# so we have 
access to a little more power and tools than the usually implementations.

We tweak a little the /MYSQL /tables to allow us to save more 
information than usually asterisk only keep for himself but that he 
populate throw the manager application, open the door for futures 
implementations like predictive dialing, agents applications,desktop 
applications, PLUG AND DIAL. we are using this for our SPA  841 network 
integrating the mac of the phone and the accountcode for the bootp process.

Our manager application works with or without a asterisk manager proxy.. 
but we strongly recommend use a proxy... we tried in a busy call center 
with 330 phones with remarkables results using astmanproxy and works 
like a champ...

*Features.*
This application allows to set a multitenant Hosted PBX, n tenants were 
every tenant controls his peers, routings (dial-plan), queues, and queue 
members, activity, and soon agents....as far i found a agent channel 
that support it.... i use my own but is not in the asterisk cvs repository.

So basically allows to set.

Sip Peers - agents
CDR
Queues
QueueMembers
DialPlan

and monitor the peers, queues, and the activity in the server.

the License system allows to create custom pbxs like PBX limited to 4 - 
8 - 12 -24 or unlimited peers, this way.. the General manager can create 
pbxs for his tenant limiting or not the numbers of peers. So u can 
deliver to your customer a custom pbx standalone or a colocate server 
with a simple software...that will allow the guy to monitor, or setup 
the entire pbx.. without mess with the rest of the tenants... in a 100% 
asterisk solution.

Imagine a soekris with a realtime version of ASTLINUX and a CD ... this 
cd will allow the owner of the new buyed PBX to manager that WITHOUT 
almost any knowlodge of asterisk... :) so basically you have a small 
plug and play PBX

*why not web? *
The manager with astmanproxy generate less overhead than a busy http 
server with php, perl o java. and allows to do REALTIME monitoring... 
you can see who is talking, to WHO, activity in the server...

Also this allow to create retails PBX....how many of us.. dream with be 
able to sell our asterisk pbx in best buy :D ... just kidding...

by the way.. i also try this in a small version for 24 ppl in a soekris 
card with gentoo and asterisk realtime there...is amazing how well the 
soekris manage the mysql in a 10-20 calls enviroment without transcoding..

*Availability..*
We plan to do a  dual license scheme like digium..

A first free limited version standalone version ... no sure how many 
peers...i am generating this one. and the .lic for this .. as soon i 
finish the basic documentation for installation and operation.

and a comercial version with all the nice features.. and the license 
system....the prices will come in my next message.

so if you obtain the unlimited peer multitenant version you will be able 
to create single tenants licenses for your customers, or even 
standarlone versions...

*Development Road Map..*
in actual development....and not necesary in that order.

1) Visual IVR tool for asterisk that will be integrated in this 
application <--- already started...
2) realtime BILLING.
3) Agent Application.
4) predictive dialing
5) monitor IAX peers
6) Add Recording, monitoring, coaching..Without use a webserver for the 
recordings...

regards
Saul
