Users
From Taridium
Users in ipbx can also be referred to as stations or full extensions. Users are a collection of configuration elements that usually consist of: a channel, a device and a mailbox. By creating a user you will always create a mailbox and optionally a channel and device. Users cannot exist functionally without a mailbox. Any mailbox associated to a user that is removed from the configuration will be automatically re-created if the user is edited. A user that has no channel/device associated is a fully functional user without a phone. Removing a user will always remove any associated mailboxes, channels and devices.

Extension/Mailbox
The extension/mailbox is the unique numeric identifier for the user of the extension. Any extension added to ipbx will automatically become available as a valid extension.
User Name
The user name is the name of the user. This identifier is used for the mailbox, directory, internal contacts and caller ID name field.
E-Mail Address
The e-mail address is the e-mail address used for voicemail-to-email forwarding and other notifications.
External Caller ID / DID
The external caller ID is used for any off-system calls. In all other cases the extension number is used as caller ID. The external caller ID does not apply to multi-site calling.
Device Type
The device type is used for provisioning of the user's phone. Listed are all channel/device templates for SIP and IAX.
