The operator connection splitter is a module to accept operator
connections and allow the operator to select one of several
modules to connect to by dialing a further number of the form
*12345678#.
When the called module closes the connection, the operator
is connected to the splitter again and can select the next
module to connect to.
The empty number *# closes the incoming connection.
The configuration of the operator connection splitter module
with name NAME is located in the
opsplitters/NAME subdirectory.
While an operator is connected to the splitter module (e.g. via
a phone connection), a sound file can be requested to be played.
(In case of the phone connection, this file is located on the
phone server.)
The name of the sound to request is contained in the file
sound.
If this file does not exists, no sound is requested to be played.
The maximum number of simultaneous connections can be limited
by writing the limit to the file maxconn.
If this file does not exists, the number of simultaneous connections
is not limited.
The virtual extensions (i.e. phone numbers) that can be called
by dialing a number of the form *12345678#
are configured in the subdirectory extensions.
Each extension is configured in its own subdirectory.
E.g. the configuration for the number mentioned above
resides in the subdirectory extensions/12345678.
The configuration inside an extension consists of the following settings:
The file module contains the name of the module to
contact via an operator connection if the extension is called.
The module name consists of two parts: CLASS/NAME
E.g. to connect to the operator connection printer named
debug, the file has to contain
opprinters/debug as module name.
