SIP User's Manual 8. Auxiliary Configuration Files
8.5 User Information File
The User Information file is a text file that maps PBX extensions connected to the device to
global IP numbers. In this context, a global IP phone number (alphanumerical) serves as a
routing identifier for calls in the 'IP world'. The PBX extension uses this mapping to emulate
the behavior of an IP phone.
Note: The mapping mechanism is disabled by default and must be activated using
the parameter EnableUserInfoUsage (refer to ''Advanced Parameters'' on
page 168).
The maximum size of the file is 10,800 bytes. Each line in the file represents a mapping rule
of a single PBX extension. Up to rules can be configured. Each line includes five items
separated with commas. The items are described in the table below:
