This wiki is maintained by the community and has been moved after being offline for a while replaced by the new docs.fusionpbx.com. A lot of the information is out of date and needs volunteers to help update it. However it was suggested by some in the community that a place to document things that they learn or want to remember would be a useful.
 +
 +
<b>Caution</b> Some of the information here is good and relevant and some of it out of date and in need of caring volunteers. Volunteers are welcome.

'''FusionPBX''' Release '''1.2.0''' is [[http://fusionpbx.googlecode.com/files/fusionpbx-1.2.0.tar.gz here]]. Also new '''FreeSWITCH''' Release '''1.0.7'''. Enjoy! :)
+
'''FusionPBX''' is an open source project that provides a customizable and flexible web graphical user/administration interface.
 +
 
 +
That takes freeswitch  [http://www.freeswitch.org '''FreeSWITCH'''] and converts it in to a single/multi tenant gateway or PBX system.
 +
 
 +
It can be run on the operating system you are comfortable with, and hardware of your choice. FusionPBX provides a GUI for for unlimited extensions,
 +
 
 +
voicemail-to-email, music on hold, call parking, and many other [[Features]]. It provides the functionality your business needs, and brings corporate
 +
 
 +
level phone system features to small, medium and large businesses.  Read more at [http://www.fusionpbx.com FusionPBX.com].
 +
 
 +
==Why Use FusionPBX==
 +
 
 +
There are three key reasons you might want to use FusionPBX:
 +
* It adds extra functionality to FreeSWITCH
 +
* It makes it easier to administer FreeSWITCH (while at the same time allowing you to still work directly with FreeSWITCH when you don't want to use a GUI)
 +
* It gives your users a GUI interface to phone system functionality such as voicemail/fax/follow-me/do-not-disturb, call detail records, fax and conference extensions can be assigned to users, and more...

==How to edit the Wiki==
 +
# Login as usual,
 +
# Select http://wiki.fusionpbx.com/index.php?title=Special:Preferences

# Add your email address
 +
# Click Save
 +
# Do the email confirmation thing

# You can now edit again.

==Support==
 +
For support on FusionPBX what should you do?
 +
 
 +
# Look in this [http://wiki.fusionpbx.com wiki]
 +
# Main documentation found here [http://docs.fusionpbx.com docs.fusionpbx.com]
 +
# IRC network irc.libera.chat join #fusionpbx
 +
<!-- # Check in the Forum and ask there [http://www.fusionpbx.com/messageboard/rsslist.php Forum] -->
 +
# [http://fusionpbx.com/support.php Commercial Support] which supports the project
 +
 
 +
<!--Note that the Forum for FusionPBX is not currently used much but we have a very active IRC channel.  You are therefore more likely to get timely help in the IRC channel than in the Forum.  That said, the wiki is the key place you will find documentation - as things come up in IRC they get documented in the wiki - so do look there for answers.  Primarily the wiki is arranged following the menu structure but there are also additional topic areas listed as well.-->
 +
 
 +
Note also that because FusionPBX is built on top of FreeSWITCH and intentionally uses the same terminology as used in FreeSWITCH, often if there is a lack of information in the FusionPBX wiki it is because there is relevant information readily available in the [http://wiki.freeswitch.org FreeSWITCH wiki] on that exact same thing.  So do look at the FreeSWITCH wiki. The one thing that you need to bear in mind when looking at the FreeSWITCH wiki is that examples they give will generally be in XML as that is how you configure FreeSWITCH. While FusionPBX does allow you to still work in XML if you want (see [[Editing Config Files Safely]]) the intention of FusionPBX is generally to save you from needing to deal directly with XML.

Community Documentation

This wiki is maintained by the community and has been moved after being offline for a while replaced by the new docs.fusionpbx.com. A lot of the information is out of date and needs volunteers to help update it. However it was suggested by some in the community that a place to document things that they learn or want to remember would be a useful.

Caution Some of the information here is good and relevant and some of it out of date and in need of caring volunteers. Volunteers are welcome.

What Is FusionPBX

FusionPBX is an open source project that provides a customizable and flexible web graphical user/administration interface.

That takes freeswitch FreeSWITCH and converts it in to a single/multi tenant gateway or PBX system.

It can be run on the operating system you are comfortable with, and hardware of your choice. FusionPBX provides a GUI for for unlimited extensions,

voicemail-to-email, music on hold, call parking, and many other Features. It provides the functionality your business needs, and brings corporate

level phone system features to small, medium and large businesses. Read more at FusionPBX.com.

Why Use FusionPBX

There are three key reasons you might want to use FusionPBX:

  • It adds extra functionality to FreeSWITCH
  • It makes it easier to administer FreeSWITCH (while at the same time allowing you to still work directly with FreeSWITCH when you don't want to use a GUI)
  • It gives your users a GUI interface to phone system functionality such as voicemail/fax/follow-me/do-not-disturb, call detail records, fax and conference extensions can be assigned to users, and more...

  2. Select http://wiki.fusionpbx.com/index.php?title=Special:Preferences
  3. Add your email address
  4. Click Save
  5. Do the email confirmation thing

Support

For support on FusionPBX what should you do?

  1. Look in this wiki
  2. Main documentation found here docs.fusionpbx.com
  3. IRC network irc.libera.chat join #fusionpbx
  4. Commercial Support which supports the project


Note also that because FusionPBX is built on top of FreeSWITCH and intentionally uses the same terminology as used in FreeSWITCH, often if there is a lack of information in the FusionPBX wiki it is because there is relevant information readily available in the FreeSWITCH wiki on that exact same thing. So do look at the FreeSWITCH wiki. The one thing that you need to bear in mind when looking at the FreeSWITCH wiki is that examples they give will generally be in XML as that is how you configure FreeSWITCH. While FusionPBX does allow you to still work in XML if you want (see Editing Config Files Safely) the intention of FusionPBX is generally to save you from needing to deal directly with XML.

Support

For support on FusionPBX what should you do?

  1. Look in this wiki
  2. FusionPBX IRC channel
  3. Commercial Support which supports the project

Note that the Forum for FusionPBX is not currently used much but we have a very active IRC channel. You are therefore more likely to get timely help in the IRC channel than in the Forum. That said, the wiki is the key place you will find documentation - as things come up in IRC they get documented in the wiki - so do look there for answers. Primarily the wiki is arranged following the menu structure but there are also additional topic areas listed as well.

Note also that because FusionPBX is built on top of FreeSWITCH and intentionally uses the same terminology as used in FreeSWITCH, often if there is a lack of information in the FusionPBX wiki it is because there is relevant information readily available in the FreeSWITCH wiki on that exact same thing. So do look at the FreeSWITCH wiki.
