The documentation has been separated out into smaller pages, which can be accessed through the "Related Pages" link at the top of every web page, or here. The currently available pages are:

• Opal Classes lists the classes available to the application.

• Connection handling in the OPAL library describes the working of the OpalConnection class, and the different stages used in call setup/teardown.

• IAX2 section of the OPAL library provides information on the working of the IAX2 component of this library.

• Terms used in the inline documentation attempts to give a non circular description of the terms used in this documentation.

• Opal architecture, from a H.323 perspective contains a somewhat dated description of the Opal architecture (from a H.323 perspective). It has been included to give a slightly different perspective, that may aid the reader.
