MessageKey Message Text Message Help Text
abstimeout Call Timeout (seconds) Use this value to set an absolute time limit for outbound calls. The default is 3600 seconds (1 hour) and the maximum permitted value is 99999 seconds (about 28 hours). After the timer expires, the call will be put on-hook by the system.
action Action Firewall Action - usually ACCEPT but see the shorewall documentation for other options
active Active? Activate or de-activate this object
agent Agent Agent number (allocated by SARK)
agentact State Agent State (active/inactive)
agentext Extension Agent extension (if logged in)
agentname Name Agent Name
agentpasswd Password The agents login password. It should be 4 digits.
agentqueuename Queue Call Queue that this agent will receive calls from.
agentstart Agent Start Agent number from which SARK will begin allocating agents.
alert Diagnostic Alerts Set to none,email,sms or both
alertinfo Alert-info string Use this field to specify distinctive ring data for the sip header. This is phone specific so you will need to read up on your phone type.
allowhashxfer Allow hash transfer Set this to enabled if you want SARK to recognise a hash (pound) key press as a transfer request. Unless you are supporting POTS phones, it is recommended you leave this flag disabled.
alternate Alternate Route to remote Host Specify an alternative if this route is unavailable. This is for desktop-to-desktop links using short dials. If the short dial link fails, you can specify a full-dial alternate. (e.g. IAX link to 5525 is down so dial 441924405525 over PSTN).
appspan Span The Span of your custom app... Your app can be included into the inbound call path, the outbound call path, both inbound and outbound or neither. SARK will automatically generate the correct includes for you based upon the setting you choose here.

clusterstart Tenant support ON/OFF Turn ON/OFF multi tenant support
compression CODEC [FIDELITY,THRUPUT,g729] Sark/SAIL will attempt to minimise CODEC transcoding using this value. If you choose Fidelity it will enforce g711(law) coding where it can. If you choose Thruput\" it will use g729 if it is available

edomain External IP Address This field should usually only be filled out if you are running server-only behind a NATed firewall. It forces Asterisk to include the correct return IP address in outbound packets. Without it, Asterisk will use the local server IP address and effectively spoof\" itself.\"
emailalert Email Alert Addresses Administrator email address
emergency EMERGENCY Use this field to set your Emergency number (e.g. 911, 999, 112). This is used by Class of Service and becomes part of the always-available\" set of dialable numbers.\"

lterm Late Termination If you set this value to YES, SARK will attempt to terminate inbound calls as late as it can in the switching process (i.e. when the target extension goes off hook). This is not always possible, or desireable and it can sometimes cause loss of ringback tone during complex switching operations such as internal/external call forking.
