Voice Extension - Creating a Standard Voice Extension Print

PREREQUISITES

You must have at least one additional available voice extension that can used for the creation of this extension type.

HOW-TO STEPS

1. Log into the control panel either using your credentials, or using the Quick Login button from the Reseller Zone.
   
   
2. Click Add Extension
   
   
3. Give the extension any 3 digit number you like (except 000 which is disallowed for obvious reasons).
   
   
4. Fill in all the requested details being sure to add an email address in particular. Without an email address added at this point, the voice cluster will have no way of sending the extension owner any alerts. In the case of a Ring Group extension, you might select an address such as info@, admin@ or similar.

8. Under the Limits section, set both Maximum disk space for sound files and Maximum disk space for music on hold files at 20Mb. Because of the codec we use to encode all sound files, 20Mb will be more than ample.
   
   
9. Under the Incoming Phone Number Selection section, assign a public phone number (DiD) to this extension.Click a number from the left-hand box, and when it is in the right-hand box, it has been assigned to your extension.

13. Tick Enable voicemail, set the storage quota to 20Mb, and tick Add extension to company directory.
    
    
14. You can choose to enable Conferencing Calling and configure it to meet your needs.
    
    
15. Leave the Fax Centre feature disabled because you will create a dedicated fax extension using your bonus extension.
    
    
16.
