Introduction:

JAC2C is a Joomla module that allows you integrate your Asterisk PBX to your Joomla 1.5 by adding an Click To Call application.

 

Download: JAC2C 1.0

 

Setting up your Asterisk to receive and accept JAC2C requests.

Here is a quick tutorial to help you with the Asterisk Manager configuration

# vi /etc/asterisk/manager.conf

; make sure it is enabled and and the port is correct:

enabled = yes
port = 5038

; At the end of the file you can add the following line:

[yourUserName]
secret = yourPassword
deny=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
permit=yourWebServerIP/255.255.255.255     
read = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user,config
write = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user,config

;; youWebserverIP is the IP address where Joomla is installed. In order to figure that out you can ping www.yourWebSite.com.
;; ex ping www.google.com   (if google.com were my website)

😡  -> save and exit

 

Now your Asterisk manager is ready to accept and process JAC2C calls.
