Summary

In this chapter, we were introduced to the default configuration of FreeSWITCH. Among the topics we discussed were the following:

• The important concepts behind how FreeSWITCH behaves when you make calls, and why
• Basic use of fs_cli, the FreeSWITCH command-line interface utility
• How to configure SIP devices to connect to FreeSWITCH using the predefined user accounts
• Testing the default dialplan by dialing a number of different extensions

We now turn our attention to another important aspect of
FreeSWITCH: the user directory.

In the next chapter, we will take a closer look at the FreeSWITCH user directory.
