This chapter will talk about the relationship between LoudHush and the AddressBook.
LoudHush offers a AddressBook plugin that allows you to initiate calls from the address book.
To install this plugin, go to the LoudHush menu, click the "Help" menu item and then choose "Install AddressBook Plugin". LoudHush will install the plugin for you. You then need to restart the AddressBook application so it can pick up the new plugin.
LoudHush also uses the AddressBook to display caller id information on incoming and outgoing calls.
When an incoming call is received, LoudHush will look up an AddressBook entry corresponding to the extension of the remote peer. If such an entry is located, LoudHush will use the name from the AddressBook as the caller id of the remote peer. If the address book does not contain an entry for the extension that is calling, LoudHush will then attempt to use caller id information as set by the Asterisk server.
