The asterisk-gui sets up extensions, SIP/IAX2 peers, and a host of other settings. User-specific settings are stored in users.conf. If the asterisk-gui is not being used, manual entries to users.conf can be made.
The [general] section
There are only two settings in the general section of users.conf that apply to phone provisioning: localextenlength which maps to template variable EXTENSION_LENGTH and vmexten which maps to the VOICEMAIL_EXTEN variable.
Individual Users
To enable auto-provisioning of a phone, the user in users.conf needs to have:
| Code Block |
|---|
... autoprov=yes macaddress=deadbeef4dad profile=polycom |
The profile is optional if a default_profile is set in phoneprov.conf. The following is a sample users.conf entry, with the template variables commented next to the settings:
| Code Block |
|---|
[6001]
callwaiting = yes
context = numberplan-custom-1
hasagent = no
hasdirectory = yes
hasiax = no
hasmanager = no
hassip = yes
hasvoicemail = yes
host = dynamic
mailbox = 6001
threewaycalling = yes
deletevoicemail = no
autoprov = yes
profile = polycom
directmedia = no
nat = no
fullname = User Two ; ${DISPLAY_NAME}
secret = test ; ${SECRET}
username = 6001 ; ${USERNAME}
macaddress = deadbeef4dad ; ${MAC}
label = 6001 ; ${LABEL}
cid_number = 6001 ; ${CALLERID}
|
The variables above, are the user-specfic variables that can be substituted into dynamic filenames and config templates.
