TABLE OF CONTENTS Asterisk Hacking
Figuring Out the Files
If you enter into your Asterisk configuration directory, /etc/asterisk, you ll see 62 files by default. If you re taking over a previous installation administered by someone else, you may see more than that. Looking at the file names, you ll see they have cryptic labels like rtp.conf, or file names that seem to be the same thing, like asterisk.adsi and adsi.conf. When trying to configure your system, finding the right file to edit can be like unearthing the proverbial needle in a haystack. (See Table 3.1 for information on what each file controls.)
