WHAT IS ACTOS ?

ACTOS is a GUI tool with an intuitive interface for configuring Asterisk, the Linux Open Source PBX. Asterisk is a very powerful tool, and that means a bit complex... ACTOS helps the user through the choice of the options and generate the text configuration files needed by Asterisk.

ACTOS is coded with Python 2.3 using GTK+ and Glade libraries.

ACTOS_SERVER is a little RPC server that permits to import or export an existing configuration from a distant machine. Thus, you can install ACTOS on a different machine and keep your Asterisk server clean.

I began the developpement of this project during my work with EOLE (CETIAD, Dijon, France) from May to August 2004 as a first experiment of Python language.

WHAT CAN I DO WITH ACTOS ?

  * Configuration of users,peers, and global properties

    * Dial plan creation and edition (intuitive interface, some "wizards" available)

    * Configuration of protocols, codecs and other features of Asterisk

    * Parse and import existing configuration

    * Export .conf files in the right syntax and format

    * Client/server support for import and export.

    * Multi-language support (for the moment, english and french)

    * Hardware setup (still in developpement)

    * DeStar format support (still in developpement)

DOWNLOAD SECTION

See the file “INSTALL” for installation instructions.

ACTOS

Linux installation (version 2.25)

Windows installation (version 2.25)

ACTOS SERVER

Linux installation (version 2.23)

Dependencies needed:

To install ACTOS on linux, you need GTK+ 2.0 or higher, pyGTK 2.0 or higher , and libglade 2.0 or higher packages.
To install ACTOS for windows, you need GTKWIN32
To install ACTOS_SERVER alone you need nothing else that your wonderful Python 2.3 or higher.

Current stable package : version 2.25 for client, version 2.23 for server
This version was only tested on a Mandrake Linux with kernel 2.6. Please send me feed-back if you encounter problems on your system.

Changes since last release:
- Added #include support for extensions.conf

- Added Actoscrypt.py module to permit Windows support

- Bug fixes in GUI and in context parser

KNOWN PROBLEMS :

To install ACTOS you have to make sure that the python commands “import gtk”and “import gtk.glade” work on your system (try it in a python shell). If it don’t work, make sure your python can find the gtk packages (usually in /usr/lib/python23/lib/site-packages).

TIP : if you installed PYTGTK in a non-standard directory, you can create a text file called “gtk-2.0.pth” in the site-package directory in which you put the path of your pygtk bindings.
