This optional ipbx module is installed under Advanced SetupModules. 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).

Warning.gif 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:

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.

Error Values

 ERROR: AUTHENTICATION FAILED

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

 ERROR: FAILED PLACING CALL

Returned if the call could not be placed successfully. See also notes below on placed calls. The default timeout for first leg calls is 30 seconds.

Successful Values

 OK: UPDATED FORWARDING SETTINGS

The forwarding settings have been updated successfully.

 OK: UPDATED FOLLOWME SETTINGS

 OK: UPDATED VM SETTINGS  

The voicemail settings have been updated successfully.

 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. The second leg call progress will be indicated on the phone of the caller.

HTML Output

URL Control can also return a simple HTML call progress page by setting the progress argument to 1. E.g. http://mypbx/user/c/?call=5550000&progress=1
