[asterisk-users] click to call

[Dean Collins]

Joseph,

 

This issue is people get confused;

 

Click-to-Call - the ability to enter a number on a web page (or 2
numbers in the case of apps like JaJah) and have a centralized server
deliver a two legged outbound call resulting in a 2 (or more) party
conference call. This is inbuilt in Asterisk and can be
found/implemented very easily by referring to the voip-info site for
"Dynamically generated call files".

 

 

Click-to-Talk - is different. It is the ability to using a browser to
visit a web site, by clicking on a hyperlinked image or initiating the
call in some other way your browser downloads either a java applet in
the case of Mexuar, JiaxClient, Barbizan and a few other java solutions
or an Active-X client in the case of Estara.

 

These applets are basically installing a 'softphone' onto the browser
that is configured to dial a particular extension eg throught to sales
or technical support.

 

 

It's frustrating people confusing the terms but hopefully over time
people will understand the differences.
