RELEASED THE VOIX MANAGER BETA 3 We are pleased to announce the release of VOIX Manager b 3, the first easy-to-use, multi-platform operator manager interface application for Asterisk. We have improved usability, added internationalization, made lot of resources optimizations, improved the zaptel channel management, fixed a bug with the speex codec and some other minor bugs. This version is an important upgrade. Currently exist Translation for English, German and Italian, soon we will add new languages. Anyone who is familiar with the Open-Source Community is fully aware of the high quality of the software there. Among these is Asterisk, a professional open souce PBX that integrates POTS telephone systems with VoIP. Although Asterisk is a powerful, readily available application, optimal use of the program is still a privilege for those who are well versed in the use of the command line and for system administrators, who are themselves often overwhelmed by the complexity and large number of possible configurations when the installation of new software extensions becomes necessary. Applications developed by third parties—albeit expensive—require such time-consuming and complex configuration that it compromises the performance of a comprehensive and highly flexible system. The same is true for Asterisk, which is frequently used as if it were just a run-of-the-mill low-cost, switchboard application. Voix Manager was developed in c++ and is multi-platform. The software comes complete with an IAX2 telephone, and an interface for managing internal and external phone lines (VoIP, POTS or ISDN), which is self-configuring with the Asterisk Manager. The only requirement for end users is to logon to their telephone and Asterisk Manager. Voix Manager, unlike other similar applications, does not require installation or configuration on the server—a distinct advantage for embedded systems that are almost impossible to access. The development of Voix Manager lasted for nearly a year, with four months dedicated to testing and debugging. We are now ready to let the end users judge the results of our labors. A 30-day, fully functional stable beta of Voix Manager may be downloaded at www.voix.it . The Voix development team is constantly monitoring the beta program and happy to have feedback from users regarding suggestions for additional features or / enhancements. |
