The field types used in this system to define PBX Location and PBX User details may vary depending on the PBX platform. For enterprises using BroadWorks platform, we've provided this dedicated guide to assist with setup.
BroadWorks is a widely used multi-tenant PBX platform. The information required to set up a BroadWorks system maps directly to the fields needed to connect a BroadWorks SIP user to Microsoft Teams using ConnecttoTeams:

FAQ
Can I connect two BroadWorks Enterprises to the same Microsoft Teams tenant?
No.
Each ConnecttoTeams enterprise represents a single Microsoft 365 tenant. However, within that enterprise, you can create multiple PBX configurations to support different BroadWorks entities.
PBX configurations are associated with a SIP domain, but that domain could exist in one or more BroadWorks entities (like departments, groups, enterprises, or service providers). You can have multiple PBX Locatoins – possibly associated with the same or different domains – in the same ConnecttoTeams enterprise.
This allows voice services from multiple BroadWorks sources to be routed into a single Microsoft Teams tenant.
