Hi Nik,
Here's a snipped in Perl that launches an outbound call:
if (my $sock = IO::Socket::INET->new(Proto =>'tcp', PeerAddr =>
'127.0.0.1', PeerPort => 8021)) {
print $sock "auth XXX\n\n";
print $sock "api originate {softivr_id=$siid,src_softivr_id=$siid,softivr_outdial=true}sofia/frombt/$...@1.2.3.4
$service\n\n";
$sock->close();
}
- it does no error checking or anything, but (line by line) it:
- opens a socket to the event socket interface
- authenticates
- issues an originate which dials out to the number in $ntd. The
bits in {} set a bunch of variables on the channel, which are used by
the software which processes the call later on. The call is linked to
the extension in $service - FS looks this up in the dialplan - which
handles our end.
- closes the socket

Thanks for that, coming from a C++ background it’s a refreshing
change to be looking at something that seems logical and efficient.
I’d briefly looked at the event socket and wondered if that was the
way to go. I presume that there’s some sort of event generation
that can trigger and external process as well somewhere, though all
I need to do is update mysql (hopefully using some sort of pooled
connection)
I’m not using a TDM card, I have a direct interconnect with the PSTN
breakout provider with 1,500 channels available to me. I’m finding
Asterisk proving to be less than stable at high call volumes and
load values spike at more than 100 calls with billing/accounting in
place, hence my interest in FS. The only thing that’s concerning me
is XML at the moment. Lots of code and very wordy. I’m sure I’ll
appreciate why XML given time

Nik,
Welcome to FreeSWITCH! The short answer is "yes, FS can do that."
The first thing that you should do is unlearn "the Asterisk way" of
thinking. Usually there is an elegant way of doing things in FS that
wasn't possible in Ast.
I would recommend that you start by looking at the event socket,
which is somewhat analogous to the AMI only cooler. :) I have
personally done something similar to this using the event socket and
a Perl script. The key is to learn the syntax of the originate
command. (definitely hit the wiki and IRC channel)
Are you using TDM cards for this? Just curious.

Hi Guys,
As a long time Asterisk user, I’m looking into freeswitch as an
alternative mainly due to (list multiple reasons here)
Can anyone give me a pointer as to how I would achieve the following?
I need to replicate an emergency broadcast system currently running
under Asterisk.
At the moment, I run through a Mysql database and using the manager
API, issues an Originate command to dial a number.
When the call is answered, a message is played, and the recipient
has the option of hitting a digit to confirm receipt. I then call
an AGI script to update the database.
Is this fairly easy to do in Freeswitch?
Not looking for code, just some pointers as to what’s available to
do the above /
Regards,
