Channels specify how an end-point communicates with ipbx.
SIP Channels
The SIP Channel Module enables ipbx to communicate via VOIP with SIP telephones and exchanges. These are usually SIP clients. Trunks and other static end-points are usually configured separately.
The SIP channels interface lists all SIP channels that are configured on the system. The system will automatically update the IP address and the expiry time on dynamically registered channels. Move your mouse pointer over the expiry time to see more details about the registration.
Adding a SIP Channel
In order to add a SIP channel click on the add channel button at the bottom of the page. Taridium's ipbx supports a powerful templating engine that comes pre-loaded with common SIP phones.
Click on load template to load the template settings and change the other settings accordingly.
In order to create the appropriate text configuration file four auto-provisioning you will need to either select the MAC address of the phone or select it from your DHCP server. Unused MAC addresses will show up in 'green'. See also System → Devices and Channels → SIP Channels → Templates.
Note that the MAC address needs to be entered when the channel is created and cannot be applied retroactively!
IAX Channels
The IAX Channel Module enables ipbx to communicate via VOIP with IAX telephones and exchanges. Only IAX2 communication is supported at this point. Trunks and other static end-points are usually configured separately.
