Ipbx features a mass provisioning interface that allows you to configure hundreds of SIP phones within a matter of seconds.

As of version 2.0.2-f ipbx also supports the creation of mailboxes or channels only. Thus you can mass provision either users (consisting of a mailbox and channel), mailboxes only or channels only. Use the type field with values 1, 2 or 0 respectively.

To upload your extensions/mailboxes/users, go to UsersProvisioning and select a correctly formatted CSV file. Once you have uploaded your extensions, ipbx will validate the fields before actually loading the extensions. Invalid entries will be marked and if provisioned anyway ignored.

Uploaded users/extensions will be kept in memory until you either provision, clear or finish your browser session.

CSV Format

Fields extension, name, technology, template , mac, type, email, DID

  1. extension extension number and ID
  2. name name of extension user, first and last name
  3. technology technology can be either SIP, IAX or TRUNK (requires Remote Extensions Module)
  4. template exact SIP or IAX template name - if using TRUNK keyword in technology, this specifies the trunk name.
  5. mac address MAC address of device (optional)
  6. type numeric type value
    0 creates only a channel (no user)
    1 creates a channel + mailbox (standard user)
    2 creates a mailbox only
  7. email e-mail address (optional)
  8. DID DID/DDI and external caller ID (optional)
