Hello all,
I am working with an AAH installation and Polycom IP 500 phones. Phones are now working and I'm just trying to fine tune what settings I need in my extension and sip .conf files. I have AMP installed obviously (its AAH) but I am finding that I will probably not use the AAH extension set up panel as
(a) it isn't phone maker aware (I need to set up stuff particular to Polycom) and
(b) it doesn't import manual changes (I can edit sip_additional.conf and AMP will not reflect the manual changes) and
(c) it doesn't have all the fields I need (I'm using fixed IP rather than DHCP)
Anyway, no big deal, just have to do it myself :)
Anyway, if I set up, say, extension 176, via AMP I get the sip and extension entries shown below. What I would like to know is what is the "username" and "secret" fields really used for? So far my guess is they identify the mailbox for the voicemail. But I am really not sure and all the documentation I can find on the Wiki about this just gives examples of their use but doesn' treally lay out what they are there for.
I've checked the asterisk handbook but it didn't help me as I didn't understand the consequence of the definitions given... I guess because I'm a SIP newbie.
We have a asterisk setup that is deep behind a firewall and I am not security conscious at all... the only thing on this network will the asterisk box and the phones. Can I just do away with these values?
Thanks for any hints.
Don
