A call file is a text file that you place in the /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing directory. Asterisk monitors that directory and will process it within a second of putting the file in that directory. The other way is through the manager interface. Using that you send text commands to initiate a call. You can consider the manager port to be like a telnet port for Asterisk that you can send text commands to. I will post more on this topic in the future. In the mean time you can read more about it on the following links. http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk+auto-dial+out http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk+manager+API The two most common ways to initiate a call is by either creating a call file or through the manager interface.
