In the context of this guide a trunk is used to route calls between your Asterisk PBX

An extension in this context is an account on your Asterisk PBX which provides an

account number which another UA (software or hardware used for calling) can
connect to in order to make and receive calls. There are a few types of extensions.
Here we will create a SIP extension.

Inbound configuration can become extremely complex. With an inbound route you
are given the flexibility to send incoming calls to a whole range of destinations. åor
example you may route an incoming call to a specific extension, to a ring group or
to an IVR. In this section we are going to setup an inbound route which will handle
AëY incoming calls on AëY number, including emergency numbers, and simply route
those calls to a specific extension (1000). ater on you can configure more complex
routing schemes.
