Asterisk Tip: Connecting to the Asterisk Manager
|
Use this procedure to connect to the Asterisk Manager:
- Edit the /etc/asterisk/manager.conf:
Set the enabled option to “yes”.
--------------
enabled = yes
--------------
Adding a user:
user_name –> The user name used to authenticate the connection
user_password –> The password used to authenticate the connection
connecting_from_ip –> The IP address from which you are connecting
--------------------------------------------------
[user_name]
secret = user_password
deny=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
permit = connecting_from_ip/255.255.255.0
read = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user
write = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user
---------------------------------------------------
- Reload the Asterisk configuration.
- Open a TCP socket to the Asterisk IP.
- Login by sending the following string:
“Action: Login\r\n\
Username: user_name\r\n\
Secret: user_password\r\n\
ActionID: 1\r\n\r\n”
- Send a command using the following format:
“Action: command\r\ncommand: command_string\r\n\r\n”
