@ -5,6 +5,25 @@ Over time, people have been pushing to add features to extensions.conf to make
|
|
|
|
|
it more like a programming language. AEL is intended to provide an actual
|
|
|
|
|
programming language that can be used to write an Asterisk dialplan.
|
|
|

Getting Started
|
|
|
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
The AEL configuration parser (pbx_ael.so) is completely separate from the module
|
|
|
|
|
that parses extensions.conf (pbx_config.so). To use AEL, the only thing that
|
|
|
|
|
has to be done is the module pbx_ael.so must be loaded by Asterisk. This will
|
|
|
|
|
be done automatically if using 'autoload=yes' in /etc/asterisk/modules.conf.
|
|
|
|
|
When thenmodule is loaded, it will look for 'extensions.ael' in /etc/asterisk/.
|
|
|
|
|
Both extensions.conf and extensions.ael can be used in conjunction with each
|
|
|
|
|
other if that is what is desired. Some users may want to keep extensions.conf
|
|
|
|
|
for the features that are configured in the 'general' section of
|
|
|
|
|
extensions.conf.

Reloading extensions.ael
|
|
|
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
