Setting up Asterisk Configuration Files

NOTE: If you are running FreePBX, there is a module that makes configuration much easier:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/safiserverfreep/

The network layout used in this example is the following:


In order for the SafiServer to make a connection to the Asterisk PBX and handle events, it will need to have a valid entry set up in the manager.conf file on the Asterisk Server (located by default in /etc/asterisk/).

Here is an example entry from the manager.conf file where the SafiServer is located at 192.168.0.200 :

[username]
secret=password
deny=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
permit=192.168.0.200/255.255.255.0
permit=127.0.0.1/255.255.255.0
read = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user
write = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user,originate

While you're in the manager.conf file; make sure that the manager API is enabled (found at the top of the config file):

[general]
enabled=yes
port=5038 
bindaddr=0.0.0.0
webenabled=no

The next file that needs to be altered is the extensions.conf file (also located by default in /etc/asterisk/). The following example assumes that your SafiServer is at 92.168.0.10 and the Saflet that you wish to call is callflow1 in the project of demo :

exten => 9998,1,Agi(agi://192.168.0.200/safletEngine.agi?saflet=demo/callflow1)
exten => 9998,2,Hangup()

Once changes have been made (and saved) to the manager.conf and extensions.conf files you can reload with the following commands:

# asterisk -r
CLI> reload
