FreePBX.org is a web GUI that allows the configuration of Asterisk without the need for editing config files. If you use FreePBX.org be careful not to make manual changes to the config files that will affect FreePBX.org operation. You can learn more about FreePBX.org from their web site. http://FreePBX.org/

Flash Operator Panel is a real-time web interface to Asterisk. You can see what all of your extensions, trunks, and conferences are doing. We have extension 200 set up for testing. This is a live extension and will work as soon as a phone is registered to ext 200. The rest of the buttons are dummy objects for examples.

The op_buttons.conf file has all of the configs for each button in Flash Operator Panel you can edit this using the Config Edit button on the maint menu. You must reboot the Asterisk or restart the panel service after you make changes. The normal config files for Flash Operator Panel end in .cfg we changed them to .conf so they would match the other Asterisk files.

See the Flash Operator Panel we site for more info on Flash Operator Panel.  http://www.asternic.org/
