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.
