This optional ipbx module is installed under Advanced Setup → Modules. Registered modules are displayed with registered module.

The URL control module allows you to control certain user settings via a simple URL. It also allows you to initiate a call (call origination) to your extension and bridge the call to any destination reachable within your default user settings (or custom extensions).

Do not expose this functionality on the public internet! If your server is reachable via a public IP address, make sure you take the appropriate precautions to prevent abuse.

Enabling URL Control

This assumes that you have the URL Control module installed. See Optional Modules

Log into the end user panel e.g. http://mypbx/user and enable URL Control under the Features section. Once enabled the system will automatically generate a 6 character key that identifies the user/extension. You can also, optionally specify an IP address that will identify the user/extension instead of the key.

Action Commands

Examples on how to use URL control:

• http://mypbx/user/c/?key=OB94AU&fwd=1 to switch call forwarding on
• http://mypbx/user/c/?key=OB94AU&fwd=0 to switch call forwarding off
• http://mypbx/user/c/?key=OB94AU&fwdnr=5550000 to set the call forwarding number to 555-0000 - This will automatically enable call forwarding.
• http://mypbx/user/c/?key=OB94AU&follow=1 to switch follow-me on
• http://mypbx/user/c/?key=OB94AU&follow=0 to switch follow-me off
• http://mypbx/user/c/?key=OB94AU&vm=1 to switch voicemail on
• http://mypbx/user/c/?key=OB94AU&vm=0 to switch voicemail off
• http://mypbx/user/c/?key=OB94AU&call=5550000 to call number 555-0000 - Numbers should be specified without spaces, dots, brackets etc. and in the same way as you would dial a number from an on-system phone.

If you specify an authorized client IP address you can omit the key portion. E.g. http://mypbx/user/c/?call=5550000

Return Values

Return values are simple text strings that reply with the result of the requested action. They can either start with the ERROR or OK keyword, followed by a short explanation of the error.

Error Values

 ERROR: AUTH FAILED

Returned if authentication fails (invalid key) or IP address cannot be matched.

 OK: CALL PLACED

The call has been placed successfully. Returned once the first leg of the call, to the user, has been placed successfully. Note this value will also be returned if the second leg of the call fails.
