Does the web phone have it's won extension built in? Or does it load a generic SIP client and let the user input an extension and password?
it has it own extension and username and password, it is like a softphone with the difference that webphone is not a software but rather it is a piece of code, it is a very useful way to make your costumers call you freely and internationally
Sure, but how many users can use it at one time?

Presumably each one gets it's own extension. So effectively unlimited.

That's all software is, a piece of code
i mean by not a software the fact that it is not a seperate applicaion that you run on your computer but rather a piece of code running on the webpage

I knew what you were trying to say.
Although it is still important to remember conceptually, as it often confuses people, that all that is happening in the web page is that a full software application is being downloaded automatically and run on the desktop. It's still full software, just does not persist to the disk.

the webphone is considered an outside line like a PSTN line or a PRI trunk or a VOIP trunk....it is not an internal extension
to understand the concept take a look on this article

Hi everybody...
did anyone try webphone in freePBX ?? because i used this option in the ozeki XE IP PBX, it is sort of html code that you insert in your webpage so that your costumers can call you freely from your website like this image :
please if anyone had set up this before in freePBX , help me do that
I wouldn't use it. this will tie directly into your PBX. That also makes logging calls harder to know where they came from they will basically seem internal and could have some legal implications.
I'd just use the standard TEL: links to their sip client, sykpe or smart phone will allow them to call from their own number.

Not really. It's a directly connected extension just like an internal phone. Sure they may be rules on it but that doesn't change the fact that it's on your PBX.

In Asterisk, and with some other PBXs, you can designate extensions as being external. It's a weird thing but because the VoIP trunks are external (but are just SIP lines like any phone) the idea that there is an internal side and an external side is purely one of logic in the PBX. He's right, the web phone clients can be turned into fully external and connect no differently than any non-internal SIP call.

even a VOIP trunk is an extension, but who say this is internal or external, the configuration who decide that,

a SIP trunk isn't an extension.

Exactly. The VoIP Trunk is a SIP extension like any other. An external user can call you outside of that trunk via anonymous SIP to SIP calling too. This is basically what you are enabling for someone in doing this. Just setting it up so that they don't have to set it up themselves.

@thecreativeone91 said:

In Asterisk it is. It's just another SIP connection.
-
the fact that a webphone is an outside line is its ability to accept multiple calls in one time not like internal extension one person can call in one time

That's actually not trunk a SIP trunk and extension aren't the same.

Actually that's not a limitation of the internal extensions either. Each extension is itself a trunk with unlimited call handling capabilities. Just no one enables that, normally.

What's the difference?

A Trunk is the Circuit, an extension is not.
-
In Asterisk, the VoIP trunks are configured in the extensions list. Asterisk sure calls them extensions. And technically they are no different than any other extension, other than normally they originate from the inside out.

so returning to the main question, anyone have any idea how to set a webphone in freePBX ???
