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.

Device Template Variables

Variables are always enclosed in double percentage signs. Device template text and destination strings can contain the following variables:

•  %%mac%% lower case MAC address
•  %%MAC%% upper case MAC address
•  %%username%% (channel username)
•  %%secret%% (channel password)
•  %%accountcode%% (channel accountcode)
•  %%mailbox%% (mailbox number)
•  %%nat%% (yes/no)
•  %%host%% (host name)
•  %%callerid%% (caller ID "{name}" <{number}>)
•  %%calleridnum%% (caller ID number only)
•  %%calleridname%% (caller ID name only)
•  %%eth[0-3]%% IP Addresses of eth[0-3] (ipbx server)

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