Planet IPX-1803 [46/49] Internal extension configuration

PLANET IPX-1800 user’s manual

4 Example Provisioning

This chapter introduces several practical configuration examples of IP PBX deployment. The

configuration of IP PBX is very flexible and the expressiveness of usergroups, routegroups, and

trunks are scalable enough to support various network architectures. Users could reference these

examples and build a larger network involving multiple sites and advanced services.

4.1 Internal Extension Configuration

The procedure introduced below is recommended as the first step of a configuration task. The

configuration only enables internal extension calls, but it serves as a good practice for

administration.

• Configure a usergroup named ALL (refer to 4.1).

• Configure users and assign every user to usergroup ALL (refer to 4.2).

• Configure devices and an extension for each device (refer to 4.3).

• Assign each extension to a corresponding user (refer to 4.3).

• Configure each client phone with respect to the extension number and password in its IP

PBX extension configuration accordingly.

• Reload IP PBX service (refer to 3.4.1).

Up to this point all configured phones should register with the IP PBX with a usable extension.

Since these phones are all belonged to the same usergroup ALL, they can call one another

without limitation.

4.2 Case I: Single-Site Configuration

This case describes the typical settings of a single-site configuration; say Company A. Assume

Company A has a DSL connection for Internet access and 2 PSTN subscriber lines as shown in

Figure 5-1. The provisioning tasks include:
