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. This information is also used as internal caller ID. 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. If the appropriate module is configured, you can also use the Via Trunk to configure users as 'off-system' extensions. This is particularly useful for legacy PBX integration.
