FreeSWITCH Explained

Introduction, Tutorials, Examples

Welcome to FreeSWITCH?, the future of telephony. You are now muted.

This online documentation will parallel the ongoing development by the FreeSWITCH? core development team in concert with contributions from the open source user community. When a new version is released a snapshot of this online document will be copied to a static online version at the same time to provide a reference in the future to those still running older code. This online reference will always track the latest version of code available from the git repository.

Learn

The online educational guide introduces system administrators who are new to the FreeSWITCH? Community Project to the architecture, standards, and best practices to get you up and running quickly and to avoid trouble in the future.

The upper group of links in the outline to the left help you learn about FreeSWITCH.

Reference

The online reference provides usage prototypes and examples for the channel variables, dialplan applications, and API commands that can be accessed via E.S.L. (the Event Socket Layer) or with scripts written in Lua, Perl, and others. The lower group of links in the outline to the left provide reference information to configure and experiment with FreeSWITCH.

Reference documentation of core API functions can be found on FreeSWITCH Tech Reference.
