Pre-Requisites
Make sure that you have followed the instructions for Device Type Setup.
Channel Templates
Channel templates tell ipbx how to communicate with your phones. Channel Templates are supported for both SIP and IAX technologies. Support for many popular phone brands is included and ready for auto-provisioning.
Phones can be connected to ipbx with or without a device definition. Devices need to have a MAC address associated and are usually created automatically when creating a new user. Devices are always based on a Channel Template which instructs ipbx how to create any provisioning files.
Editing Channel Templates
Navigate to System → SIP/IAX Channels → Templates and edit or create a new template.
Device Configuration allows you to specify the way ipbx creates text based configuration files. ipbx can create up to two separate configuration files based off the stored template text. To edit the template text click on edit or upload a prepared file.

These variables will be replaced upon user/channel creation with the appropriate value.
