System Administrator's Manual

We will assume that you obtain PC hardware and Linux knowledge elsewhere. The same goes for Asterisk.

Here we will focus on the Asterisk app_rpt module and radio system issues.

Keep in mind that there is more than one way to do anything and that two completely different methods may be equally robust and correct. The difference may be in the programmer's initial constraints, assumptions and goals.

For example, the person who does all his system configuration work via plain-text .conf files and the person who prefers to use the FreePBX or other interface for configuration will use significantly different methods. A third person can use a hybrid between the two preferences and have yet another implementation.

Other issues to consider are the programmer's:
Preferred programming environment.
Familiarity with the command set.
Availability of third party tools.
External languages and environments.
Requirements for reliability, documentation, portability and re-use.

Did you know that the complete Asterisk source code and its documentation are available on a XIPAR system? Browse to your XIPAR server home page and select the "Asterisk" main tab and then the "Asterisk Docs" sub tab. In this case "RTTFSC" means Refer To The Formatted Source Code.
