I was afraid that may be the case - The issue I have with that approach
is how do you avoid manually mapping extensions to mac addresses in the
dialplan? Assuming I have a PRI with 100did and I want to use the last
4 digits of the DID as the internal extension, I want to use something
like below to handle the bulk of calls:
exten => _XXXXXXXX,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN:4},20)
How can this be accomplished if SIP usernames are mac addresses?, it
would seem to me that sip.conf is the correct place to map an extension
to a device, otherwise I would have an extensions.conf with a manual
entry for each extension making updating it a chore.
sip.conf is not the correct place to map extensions to devices.
extensions.conf is is place to do that. You are still stuck in the
mindset that extension == device.
Part of running a PBX, any PBX, is having to map physical devices /
ports to logical extensions.
We have to put in an exten => entry for each extension. It's not that
hard, and only has to be done once for each extension.
