Plugin Setup Name - This is the name shown in the product configuration area. It is meant to help you track your plug-ins.

Use Plugin - This should be set to MAGRATHEA.

Available for Countries - This is used for the user area, while the customer is purchasing a product with a DID.  This enables the customer to choose a country from a drop-down, to further continue in purchasing a DID.

Release reserved DIDs after - The number of seconds a DID is to be held without purchasing.  A DID is placed as reserved when a customer adds the DID to their shopping cart.  If after this many seconds the customer hasn't purchased the DID, it is then automatically released back to the DID pool as an available number.

Username - This is the username assigned to you by Magrathea.
 
Password - This is the password assigned to you by Magrathea.
 
Server Hostname - This is the hostname of the Magrathea provisioning server.
 
Number of DIDs to request - This is the number of DIDs to keep in stock for each country code and area code configured.
 
Destination Host - This is the IP address or hostname to tell Magrathea to provision the call to. This is typically your Asterisk system's IP address or hostname. It could also be your SER system, depending on your infrastructure.
 
Countries and Area Codes to retrieve - This is a list of country codes, line separated. Each country code line must have a colon followed by a comma delimited list of area codes for that country. Ex: 44:0871
 
Note: The area codes must be prefixed with a leading zero, as this seems to be a requirement of Magrathea.
