Visual Dialplan for Asterisk by APSTEL

[Aaron Rosenthal]

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.

It seems to me that what we could do with is some form of Workflow designer - preferably a freedom loving workflow designer ;) , that could then churn out dialplan files - This seems very similar to a UML approach. I think I might see what can be done with GentleWare's UML designer - perhaps I can create a XSLT to make Dialplans from UML Diagrams...
