iBat Pro

Securely monitor and control your Asterisk PBX from everywhere with ease.

iBat Pro shows the state of your PBX both in quick glance summaries (the iBat HUDs) and in detail. It lets you place and control calls on the PBX from your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad.

This app is dedicated both to PBX administrators as to power users.
They can see the state of all PBX terminals, phones and trunks; they can see active channels and active calls. They can close (hangup) channels and calls.

The list of terminals that each non administrator user has access to is decided by the PBX administrator. Security and privacy are paramount. Access to internal traffic details is decided by the administrator during each user's setup.

iBat Pro is the flagship iBat app providing rich call facilities for everybody, user and administrator.

Use your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad to originate calls from your Asterisk deskphone to any destination, internal or external to the PBX.

Choose with one touch the outside trunk (among those you were given access by your administrator) to place calls; use your device contacts to place external calls: no more looking up a phone number to call from your deskphone.

Use iBat Pro while you are out of the office to get in touch with your colleagues without operator intervention; call only if you see that your colleague's phone is not busy.

Place calls from your iPhone to any external destination, using the PBX as a gateway (needs multichannel trunks).

iBat Pro does allow administrators to setup all user configurations needed for all iBat app users as well as access to basic host information and control.

It's designed for non administrator users, as well, but it refrains them from showing the detailed PBX state information: it does not give them access to user setup functions unless they are authorized by the PBX administrator.



iBat Apps need custom (but free) server side software to perform their functions. Both the software stack and the setup instructions are available on the iBat site.

Use iBat Pro to make the best use of your Asterisk PBX and with ease.
Setup all the user's configurations you need.


iBat apps support Asterisk based PBX servers only.
It was developed and tested with Asterisk 1.6.x servers. It should work on any Asterisk host supporting the release 1.6 (and up) AMI command set. It uses MeetMe AMI events to identify conference calls.
