AEL is intended to provide an actual programming language that can be used to write an Asterisk dialplan. +Getting Started +------------------------- +The AEL configuration parser (pbx_ael.so) is completely separate from the module +that parses extensions.conf (pbx_config.so). To use AEL, the only thing that +has to be done is the module pbx_ael.so must be loaded by Asterisk. This will +be done automatically if using 'autoload=yes' in /etc/asterisk/modules.conf. +When thenmodule is loaded, it will look for 'extensions.ael' in /etc/asterisk/. +Both extensions.conf and extensions.ael can be used in conjunction with each +other if that is what is desired. Some users may want to keep extensions.conf +for the features that are configured in the 'general' section of +extensions.conf. + + +Reloading extensions.ael +------------------------- +To reload extensions.ael, the following command can be issued at the CLI. + + *CLI> reload pbx_ael.so + Contexts ------------------------- |
