all the "parameters" as you call them are the dialplan commands and 
functions

http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk%20config%20extensions.conf

   exten => 123,1,Answer 
   exten => 123,2,Playback(tt-weasels) 
   exten => 123,3,Voicemail(44) 
   exten => 123,4,Hangup 

if the number 123 is called,
    step1: answer the call
    step2: run the application called Playback, using the tt-weasels 
sound file (this plays tt-weasels to whoever called 123)
    step3: run the voicemail application for mailbox 44
    step4: hangup the call

iow, 123 is the called extension, and steps 1,2,3,4 are then executed
