chan_celliax for Managing Cellphones via Asterisk - First Release
chan_celliax is a new channel for Asterisk that manages cellphones through a Celliax adapter, composed by a datacable (for commands) and an audiocable (for the voice) interfacing the computer soundcard. It manages cellphones using both the AT (most phones) and the FBUS2
(Nokia proprietary) command set.
chan_celliax is also capable of making and receiving Skype calls, and has an app like app_directory that let you choose which one of your Skype contacts you want to call.
As additional features, chan_celliax can manage (on Linux) voicemodems that use the ALSA modem driver (but with voicemodems it can't interact with Skype), and has got CLI commands: console, dial and hangup similar to the ones in chan_oss, useful for testing without hardware.
chan_celliax runs on Asterisk 1.2 on Linux and Windows (with cygwin and a little modification to the compilation of Asterisk to avoid the calls to sigkill). At date it runs on Asterisk 1.4 only in Linux
(because of the different compilation procedure of Asterisk 1.4, that does not build on cygwin). Hopefully it will run on FreeBSD.
Together with chan_celliax is distributed the Celliax Developer's LiveCD, with a working installation of Asterisk, chan_celliax, and configuration utilities based on Knoppix. Celliax Developer's LiveCD comes complete with all the developer's tools needed to recompile from svn and remaster
the LiveCD itself. The LiveCD contains also the cygwin installer and the tgz with the asterisk-celliax stuff to be untarred in a basic cygwin installation.
The lucky ones of you guys who are at Astricon Developer's Summit will find some cables and CDs in the Code Zone.
More info on the site www.celliax.org, with forums, downloads, svn, trac, etc.
Please, report bug and issues to www.celliax.org/trac , is pre-beta software ;-)
Happy hacking,
Giovanni Maruzzelli
