Overview

Everything in freePBX" href="/wiki/index.php?page=freePBX">FreePBX is a module, so you need to enable all the modules you want to use. If you do enable something you don't use, it won't matter - it'll just make clicking the red 'Reload Bar' take a little longer, as it goes through and asks every modules 'What would you like done?. If you're using a lower powered system (Say, a Piii 500 or slower) you might want to be a bit selective with the modules you use, but it will _only_ affect the speed of freePBX" href="/wiki/index.php?page=freePBX">FreePBX, not the speed of Asterisk itself.

25 July 2006: Some users have noted that the recently-added Caller ID Lookup (cidlookup) module can stop freePBX" href="/wiki/index.php?page=freePBX">FreePBX from working properly. If you have problems creating or editing settings try uninstalling this module. (Linker 3000)
