Components and controls

Components and Controls

  • AMI_Client

    The Asterisk Manager Interface Client which is the main central component, implements an Asterisk® Manager Interface (AMI) client in a Thread. The AMI Client's main functions are to handle the communication between the application and the AMI, to parse all of the messages into synchronised lists and to provide high level synchronised events (that can be safely used to update UI element's, from the main application's thread) for the events and messages sent by the AMI.

    The AMI_Client, effectively maintains a complete 'picture' of the connected system, lines, channels, queues, agents, conferences etc. into syncronized list. These are used to update the AMIgo user interface elements and to provide synchronize events, which greatly simplify the task of updating the user interface from events occuring in the AMI_Client thread.

    The AMI_Client supports almost all of the available AMI command (From V1.2 to 1.8) and also provides numerous higher level methods to send commands to the AMI server, modify the configuration and get informations on the connected system.

    In addition to the AMI_Client component, the AMIgo suite offers a list of high level user interface elements to display, monitor, interact and setup the extensions, channels, agents, queues, conferences, etc on any asterisk system, local or remote, for which a manager access is available.

  • AMIgo ListViews:

    The AMIgo ListViews controls display the PBX elements in a multi layout Listview display, similar to the one used in the Windows' File explorer. These provide a visual real time display of the status and activity of the PBX system. The AMIgo ListViews also support drag and drop which allows, for instance, to transfer calls, by dragging the channel icon to a selected target, which can be an extension, a queue, a conference, a voice menu or an application. The AMIgo LisViews displays also offer a context menu, which is accessible by right clicking on an item.
