Using the built-in web interface

FreeSWITCH comes with a built-in web interface. It is made available by mod_xml_rpc, which is not loaded by default and, therefore, goes unnoticed sometimes.

Linux and Mac OS X users will need to enable mod_xml_rpc in their FreeSWITCH installation. Follow these steps:
