Proxy Address- This will be the IP network destination for SIP calls from the Vega to the PBX

 Registration and Authentication ID:If Registration mode is Gateway, This defines the user ID used to register the SIP extension with the FreePBX

Step 6:  If Registration Mode is FXS ports, follow this step, otherwise skip to step 7, Once the VoIP config is competed select the "FXS" tab.  A screenshot below gives the example of an FXS tab with default configuration.

Enabled? This determines if the port/extension is enabled, unused ports should be disabled
                All Enabled ports will try to register to the FreePBX as such make sure that only the ports that are going to be used are enabled

Enable Caller-ID generation- This turns on the generation of caller-id - for incoming calls calle-rid will be sent to the analog handset as a burst of tones.

                                                    More than one telephone number can be defined (using comas), numbers such 955122354,122354,354 etc
Registration and Authentication ID: This can either be the Numeric ID, the Textual ID or a customer string as required by the FreePBX
