IP Phone at the Asterisk IP PBX
The following configuration illustrates how to create a user with an extension to make and receive calls using the Aster-
isk as the PBX. This configuration is defined in the
sip.conf
file present along with the other configuration files that are
created when Asterisk is installed. Usually, the configuration files can be found at the
/etc/asterisk
directory.
;This is used in the “extensions.conf” file to identify this
;physical phone when issuing Dial commands.
[phone1]
;The type to use for the 6757i is “friend”.
;”Peer” is used when the Asterisk is contacting a proxy,
;”user” is used for phones that can only make calls
;and “friend” acts as both a peer and a user.
type=friend
;If your host has an entry in your DNS then you just enter the
;machines name in the host= field.

;able to use it. In this example' sip' is used. You can use

;need to make an entry in your extensions.conf file (which we
;will get to later)
