PBX Connections
On this page:
The PBX Connections configuration page allows administrators to manage connections to Asterisk servers. Administrators can access the PBX Connection configuration page by clicking on Phone System->PBX Connections in the Administration menu.
Multiple PBX Connections
Administrators can specify multiple PBX Connections for a single core server instance. This allows the system to combine call state information from several Asterisk systems that need to be represented as one single organization. See Combined PBX Installations for more information.
Enabling
PBX Connections can be enabled and disabled dynamically by selecting the enable/disable link in the PBX Configuration page or using the enable checkbox in the PBX Configuration property page.
