Devices

Definition

A Device represents the end-point that can generate (originate) or receive (terminate) calls. As an example, a device can represent a:

• Normal phone
• Mobile phone
• VoIP phone
• VoIP softphone
• PSTN phone (connected through an FXS port)
• PBX
• Softswitch
• Fax

Each user can have many devices (no limit). (A user can be viewed as a Device group with similar properties, such as Balance/Credit, LCR, Tariff, etc).

Devices list

In the main User window, click on to check the user's devices. Also, you can go to SETTINGS –> Users –> Devices to check all devices.



NOTE It is important to remember that some settings apply to users and others to separate devices. This means that if a setting applies to the user, the same setting applies to all his devices. For example, the balance of the account. It is a field for the user, but if the balance is too low, the user will be unable to dial out on any of his devices.



In this window you see some details for Devices. The choices available are:

Call Flow – set call flow for this device.
DIDs – shows DIDs assigned to this device.
CLIs – CallerIDs for this device.
– recordings for this device.
– all details for this device from DB.
– edit device's settings.
– delete device.

• If the Manage Users Permission is turned off but the Manage Devices Permission is enabled, the Device List is reachable via direct link /billing/devices/devices_all.
