[Asterisk-Users] Calls from web interface

[Nir Simionovich]

Those are the two valid methods. However, if you intend to generate many
calls, using the spool directory isn't a good method, as the spool is a very
slow means to do so. Using the manager proves more efficient for this task.

There are basically two ways to implement this.

The first one assumes that your webserver is running on the same machine
as Asterisk. Then your web application will have to create a .call file
in /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing.
Examples on how do this are available at
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+auto-dial+out

The second option is to use the Manager API which allows you to trigger
a call via TCP/IP.
