RoCKSwitch

Given the well-known performance, stability and versatility, it does not come as a surprise that FreeSWITCH is a VoIP used by so many users. However, one of the setbacks of the open source telephony platform stems from the fact that configuration is based on XML which makes both the setup and maintaining a bit more difficult.

RoCKSwitch is a utility that employs FreeSWITCH as the primary engine and that can help you manage your VoIP more efficiently.

The installation procedure is quick and does not require any special attention from your part. Upon launch, you are required to add the IP address of the FreeSWITCH box you are using along with the domain and root password. As soon as the app connects, you are able to browse and manage various aspects of your VoIP client.

The interface is clean, organized and includes a summary on the main page that describes the functions of the program. Then again, even if you do not check out the main page, you can get a general idea on how to get around and set up your telephony SIP.

The program comes with several options that you are likely to expect from a Private Branch Exchange service. You can add new users and add them to a representative call group that enables you to recognize them whenever they contact you.

The utility allows you to set up your dial plan and add the numbers that you want to be redirected straight to voice mail, for instance. If you want to take a more precise action against numbers, then you should keep in mind that you can create inbound and outbound rules in this sense.

In the eventuality that you are satisfied and use FreeSWITCH as your primary VoIP service, but would like to be able to configure it more smoothly and without too much hassle, then perhaps RoCKSwitch could lend you a hand.
