2.2 Manually Creating Extensions

If installing without auto-create extensions enabled, then VoIP extensions and associated users must first be created in IP Office Manager.

The procedure below covers the minimum required to create a VoIP extension and associated user. Further customization is as per any extension and user.

1.In Manager, receive the system's configuration.

2.To display the list of existing extensions, click Extension in the left-hand panel. Right-click on the right-hand panel and select New.

3.In the Extn tab, set the following:

For non-VoIP extension this number is assigned automatically. For a VoIP extension, enter any number so long as it is unique, i.e. not already used by another extension.
