How to Implement a ‘Click to Call’ On your Elastix based TD Phone System

How to Implement a ‘Click to Call’ On your Elastix based TD Phone System

It seems everyone is talking about Click-to-Call functionality these days. A small application running on your main landing web
page allowing you potential customers provide their phone number and in return receive a FREE call from one of your reps. True, there are service providers out there that will be happy to take your hard earn money for such a service. However, it
is very easy to implement on ANY of our Elastix based TD phone systems and save that money. The following steps will explain how to do that:

Step 1 – using a terminal application (I like PuttY) SSH into your TD Phone System and log in as admin.

Step 2 – Issue the following commands – These will install and Unzip the needed script.

cd /tmp
wgethttp://downloads.voipjots.com/scripts/click-to-call.zip
unzip click-to-call.zip
mv click-to-call.php /var/www/html/click-to-call.php
rm click-to-call.zip

Step 3 – Issue the following commands – In order to edit the script.

cd /var/www/html
nano -w click-to-call.php

Step 4 – Modifying the script

find the line $strChannel = “IAX2/250″; and replace it with the extension you want to use for this application (usually the
extn where your rep is seating) we will use extn 150, a sip extn for this example $strChannel = “SIP/150″

find the line $strSecret = “amp111″; and replace it with $strSecret = “elastix456″;

save the file by hitting the Cntrl+X combination

Step 5 – in your favorite web browser put http://YOUR SYSTEMIP ADDRESS/click-to-call.php

You will get the following result

Insert your cell phone number and click the ‘call us button’ in return extn 150 will ring. As soon as you pick the call on extn 150
the TD phone System will dial out your cell phone number and your cell phone will ring connecting you to extn 150

It is that easy saving money using the TD Phone System
