Configure FOP2 Buttons

Note: AstLinux 1.1.3 or later is required

The buttons should be edited in the provided buttons.cfg file: /etc/fop2/buttons.cfg

Note -> All actions with the toolbar are extension related! You need to be logged in with your correct extension to associate your phone with the FOP2 toolbar.

Starting with a simple example, let's create a basic configuration…

; Extensions
[SIP/1011]
type=extension
extension=1011
context=from-local
label=Network Room
mailbox=1011@default
email=network@example.com

[SIP/1016]
type=extension
extension=1016
context=from-local
label=Office
mailbox=1016@default
email=office@example.com

; Trunks
[SIP/vitel-inbound]
type=trunk
label=SIP Inbound
context=from-vitelity

[SIP/vitel-outbound]
type=trunk
label=SIP Outbound

; Parking Lot
[PARK/default]
label=Park
type=park
extension=700
context=parkedcalls

The resulting Panel looks as follows when logged in as extension 1016:

This example is a good starting point, though you can do much, much more.

Tip -> In your Asterisk dialplan, if you include the voicemail context for Voicemail() and VoicemailMain() arguments, (often @default) the Panel will display feedback while the user is accessing voicemail.

At this point it would be good to view some of the FOP2 Video Tutorials to see what can be done.

The FOP2 website has documentation about the configuration, though is it focused on FreePBX and using it's MySQL schema for a structured source of data. You must read carefully to determine what applies to AstLinux.

For detailed questions regarding the configuration of FOP2 please look first at the documentation pages on the FOP2 webpage, and then in the FOP2 forum. Especially read the release notes. FOP2 can be quite complex .
