Extension

Extension What is used to register the phone (typically your extension number but can be any alphanumeric) used to register phone in the field user ID, username etc.

Number Alias The number you can dial to get this extension if the extension is non numerical.

Range used to setup one or more extensions. In other words this can be used to create extension in bulk from 1 to 1000 extensions.

If the checkbox for Auto-generate user with extension as login name is checked, User List is ignored, and a user is created and linked to the extension.

A printable List of usernames and randomly generated passwords is dumped to screen so can capture them for later.

``Effective`` ``Caller`` ``ID`` ``Number:```` is used when when calling internal numbers. ( \ **```effective_caller_id_number <http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Variable_effective_caller_id_number>`__**`` - FreeSWITCH variable )``

Caller ID notes:

``Effective caller id is the real caller id however people tend to like and internal caller id for extensions and an external caller id when calling ``

out the gateways so when calling out a gateway if you were to look at the outbound route in the edit window as a superadmin users you would see

that when going out the gateway it sets the outbound caller id to the effective caller id the effect is this on the extension you set the effective

caller id to the internal caller id info the number as the extension number then you set the outbound caller id as the external caller id.  This is

used to set the outbound caller ID effective_caller_id_name=${outbound_caller_id_name}.  The Outbound caller ID variable doesn't exist in FreeSWITCH,

it is a feature of FusionPBX.  You can set the caller id either on an outbound route or on an extension.

Account Code - this is not used anywhere in the default dialplan but is provided in FreeSwitch and therefore is provided in FusionPBX for full compatibility. It sets a variable for the extension that could be used in a condition. See Variable accountcode for more information. Note that it can be used to affect the operation of CDR.

‘ Directory Full Name’ This is the name that will be used for a *411 or Company Directory lookup as often used in IVR.
