Terminals configuration

The section **Company configuration** > **Terminals** allows creating new
SIP credentials that can be used by multiple SIP devices to place and receive
calls from IvozProvider.

The best way to understand this section is creating a new item and see the 
fields that must be filled.

    Name
        Username that will use the terminal during the SIP authentication phase
        with IvozProvider.

    Password
        Password that will use the terminal to answer the SIP authentication
        challenge. You can use the automatic password generator to fullfill the
        secure password requirements.

    Allowed/Disallowed codecs
        Determines what audio and video codecs will be used with the terminal.

    CallerID update method
        Choose the SIP method the terminal prefers to received the session
        update information: INVITE or UPDATE. The help hint can be used as
        guide to configure different terminal manufacturers. Use *INVITE* in 
        case of doubt.

    Terminal model
        Determines the provisioning type that will receive this terminal.
        The section :ref:`terminal provisioning <provisioning>` will explain
        in depth the different models for automatic provision. If your device
        does not require provisioning, just select *Generic*.

    MAC
        Optional field that is only required if you plan to use IvozProvider 
        :ref:`terminal provisioning <provisioning>`. This is the `phisical 
        address <https://wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_Address>`_ of the network 
        adapter of the SIP device.

.. note:: For **most of devices** that doesn't require provisioning just
   filling **username** and **password** will be enough.

.. hint:: Once the terminal has been created, most devices will only
   require the name, password and :ref:`Company SIP domain <domain_per_company>` 
   in order to place calls.
