Chapter 3: Telephone System Configuration
The following information comprises a user extension definition:
Extension - The extension assigned to the defined user.
Name - The first and last name of the individual assigned to this
extension. The name can also be that of a department, such as Sales or
Support, for example. This is important because the Dial By Name
Directory function of Asterisk uses this information to route calls.
Password - The password used to access voicemail for the specified
extension.
E-mail Address - Voice mails received by this extension can be sent
as audio file attachments e-mailed to a specific address.
Caller ID - Identifies the Caller ID presented when the listed exten-
sion dials out.
Analog Phone - A drop-down menu is available to identify the analog
phone port which this extension will access. If more than one phone is
connected to your Asterisk Appliance you will need to confirm the
port number listed on the back of the appliance.
Dial Plan - This option references the Calling Rules option on the left
tool bar. Based on the calling rules you’ve created, you can restrict the
outbound dialing of this extension to local calls, emergency calls, and
standard long-distance calls for North America. This option also possi-
bly allows blocking or allowing international (011 prefix dialed) calls.
Phone Serial - The Phone Serial field is used to specify the MAC
address of the SIP phone connected to the port specified above. The
MAC address associates the phone with this extension and enables the
synchronization of provisioning information.
