I'm sure a genius will fill in behind me. But I'll take a quick stab. The Users are your lines, and on a user basis, you can chose what options are used, such as what gateway you access as just one example. If you were a paralegal as an example, you could make calls from line 1 for attorney 1, and calls for attorney 2 on line two, using different gateways, and reporting CDR for billing purposed separately on them. You might also want different voicemails, different forwarding rules, etc. Maybe one is a OPX from one City, while the other is an OPX for another city, etc.
The key system features you are used too having with a "squared" line appearance will be in the next stable release, as Shared Appearances - SAA. -----Original Message----- From: sipx-users-boun...@list.sipfoundry.org [mailto:sipx-users-boun...@list.sipfoundry.org] On Behalf Of steven warner Sent: Monday, January 18, 2010 2:31 PM To: sipx-users@list.sipfoundry.org Subject: [sipx-users] Lines? Users? It is a dumb question to have to ask. So if anyone can point me to the page or description of "what's what" I'd appreciate it. Scenario: Polycom phone, line 1 is: user 201, Line 2 is : 202. (etc) What is the diff, if I press Line 1 and dial or Line 2? This line vs User thing always bends me into a weird shape after all of my experience with 1A2 systems. It seems like it doesn't matter at all, as the dialing plan and dialing rules control all of the actual line selection. But I would appreciate any enlightenment that a genius could offer. s _______________________________________________ sipx-users mailing list sipx-users@list.sipfoundry.org List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-users Unsubscribe: http://list.sipfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/sipx-users sipXecs IP PBX -- http://www.sipfoundry.org/ _______________________________________________ sipx-users mailing list sipx-users@list.sipfoundry.org List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-users Unsubscribe: http://list.sipfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/sipx-users sipXecs IP PBX -- http://www.sipfoundry.org/
