Visual Dialplan for Asterisk by APSTEL
June 26th, 2008 | Published in Software | 2 Comments
This isn’t new news as I’ve been following these folks for months but they’re worth mentioning on this blog because I like the concept of a Visual Dialplan. I honestly don’t think this is going to become the widely adopted method for configuring an Asterisk system but it’s still pretty neat.
APSTEL’s Visual Dialplan is a GUI interface for configuring an Asterisk based PBX system. The big news is that Visual Dialplan is now available for Linux where it was previously only available for Windows. For anyone with an engineering background, this probably complicates things but for a small business owner it seems like this could be an easy way to setup a dialplan and actually understand how it all works conceptually.
I can’t praise or criticize APSTEL’s Visual Dialplan simply because I’ve never used it but would love to hear some feedback from the community. I’ll leave you all with some more screenshots.

That was a great post. I will have to bookmark this site so I can read it later.

I’ve installed and tested the new 2.0 trial version extensively with a FreePBX/Asterisk 1.4 installation. The new server configuration area was buggy and not loading all config files as it should. Would love to hear from others who have successfully been able to get a solid connection to their asterisk server. This software is pretty much in development and therefore should be tested before you buy. I definitely would keep an eye out for future releases though, as it probably will only get better. For now, it’s time consuming to setup and learn how to use.
