Asterisk PBX Elastix 2.0

Elastix 2.0 Alpha 3 has been released and now you can downloaded it for testing in its' 32 bits and 64 bits versions. Early next year our first beta version will be released. This new version will have better improvements such as better usability, a new image, software packages updated, and much more. Here we share with you some screen shots of what Elastix 2.0 will be like in the future.
Renovated Dashboard

The new Dashboard in Elastix 2.0 will allow users to be aware of their system, its performance, lost calls, mails, news from Elastix, and much more. The user will be able to choose the applets he wants to see and how he would see them. Everything will work by dragging and dropping the applets without the need of a browser plugin.

Elastix Operator Panel

Elastix Operator Panel is similar to Flash Operator Panel, but there is no need to install any plugin in your web browser. Another advantage is that you can modify the structure of your panel with out the need of touching any text file. Everything is drag and drop!

Elastix Conference Room

The Elastix Conference Room is a great tool to have virtual meetings. The Elastix Conference module can be extended with the Conference Room. This will give you nice features, like viewing presentations in several file formats, a document repository to share, and chat support.

Mail Improvements

Now it is easier to integrate Elastix with an External mail server. All you need is to fill in a form and you are set, no need to edit config files. Other useful improvement is the integration with the mailing list engine, Mailman. This will allow administrators to create mailing lists from the Elastix web interface.

Now you will be able to send faxes directly from the web interface. There will be no need for a fax client to be installed in the users desktops. You may send faxes by writing directly in the text area or you can upload pdfs, tiff, or plain text files.

DHCP Module

The new DHCP server module includes two important improvements. The first one is the screen that will allow administrators to see the IPs and MAC adresses of all their DHCP clients. The second one is that you can assign static ips to MAC addresses. This will allow for easier identification and configuration of the phones.

These are just some of the new functionalities that will came with Elastix 2.0.. Beta-testers and other enthusiastics can download this Alfa version (32 bits and 64 bits) to be tested. Bugs should be reported in the bug tracker.
