Conclusion

In this brief chapter we have provided some pointers to popular graphical applications that can be used in conjunction with Asterisk. While we didn’t cover them in detail, we do acknowledge the importance of FreePBX and the AsteriskGUI, which are both GUI open source projects that provide a PBX configuration interface on top of Asterisk. If a full GUI solution for simple PBX configuration interests you, we encourage you to take a look at them. To give them a try, we recommend using the AsteriskNOW distribution, which provides both FreePBX and AsteriskGUI as GUI options.
