Hi, i was wondering if somebody could shed some light about the Realtime function of asterisk, voipinfo wasn't clear it enough and there wasn't enough posts about it in the forums, and i was wondering what is it good for? where can i use it? etc..

Thanks!

Well.

Asterisk can work on realtime, but Freepbx is not ready to work why this fonctions.
With the realtime, you can modify every parameters without reloaded Asterisk.
Asterisk calling every parameters in a database (MySQL for example) or LDAP server instead of config files.
Every extensions are there into the database only for Asterisk.
Freepbx rewrite every config files after clicking on submit.
Freepbx have a own database, but not compatible with Asterisk realtime.

Regards

Edited
Forgot, so you mean i can look up the extensions in the database made by Freepbx? or any other parameter?

Of course, you can find the database with MySQL (db = asterisk).
Into this DB you've lots of tables as 'users' for every sip extensions.
