PAL-Sample

The PAL Sample code shows how to develop an application that will monitor the state 
of phone extensions within an organization.  The code is written in Visual Basic .NET.

Requirements
- Brekeke PBX
- Brekeke PAL
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 or Visual Basic Express Edition

Instructions:
1. Install Brekeke PBX and Brekeke PAL according to documentation for those products. 
Make sure the Brekeke PBX is running.
2. Unzip the PAL-Sample.zip file into the development tool's project folder.
3. Configure the sample application.  Under the PAL-Sample\PAL-Sample\bin\debug subdirectory, 
edit the file called config.xml.

<pbx> = the ipaddress of the Brekeke PBX server
<port> = the Brekeke PBX port number
<local> = the port number used by this sample application to receive notifications
<webservice> = URL of the Brekeke PAL Web Service running on the Brekeke PBX server
<extension> = the extension of the sample application operator
<panels> = number of panels to display per row
<from> = the starting extension number to monitor
<to> = the ending extension number to monitor 

For instance, if <from> is 2001 and <to> is 2003, then the PAL-Sample application 
will monitor extensions 2001, 2002, and 2003.

4. Start the visual Basic Express or Visual Studio.
5. Open the PAL-Sample project.
6. Build and Run the project.
7. Make phone calls to the extension you configured for monitoring and see the action 
on the sample program.


Notes:

Normally, the URL of the Brekeke PAL Web Service is

http://<your server ip address>:28080/pbx/services/pal

To test if it is correct, paste it into your browser and you should see a

"Hi there, this is an AXIS service!" message.
