7.5  User Information File 
The User Information file is a text file that maps PBX extensions connected to the device to 
global IP numbers. In this context, a global IP phone number (alphanumerical) serves as a 
routing identifier for calls in the 'IP world'. The PBX extension uses this mapping to emulate 
the behavior of an IP phone. 
 
 
Note:  By default, the mapping mechanism is disabled and must be activated using 
the parameter EnableUserInfoUsage. 
 
The maximum size of the file is 10,800 bytes (for analog modules) and108,000 bytes for 
digital modules. Each line in the file represents a mapping rule of a single PBX extension. 
Up to 1,000 rules can be configured. Each line includes five items separated with commas. 
The items are described in the table below: 
Table  7-1: User Information Items 
Item  Description  Maximum Size 
(Characters) 
PBX extension # 
The relevant PBX extension number.  10 
Global phone # 
The relevant global phone number.  20 
Display name 
A string that represents the PBX extensions for the 
Caller ID. 
30 
Username 
A string that represents the user name for SIP 
registration. 
40 
Password

registration. 
20 
 
 
Note:  For FXS ports, when the device is required to send a new request with the 
‘Authorization’ header (for example, after receiving a SIP 401 reply), it uses 
the user name and password from the Authentication table. To use the 
username and password from the User Info file, change the parameter 
‘Password’ from its default value.
