Extensions are virtual phone lines assigned to individual agents. Each extension has a unique number that can be used for internal calls, external call routing, and softphone registration.

Overview

The Extensions page shows a list of all configured extensions with their status, assigned agent, and configuration details. From here you can create, edit, and delete extensions.

Creating an Extension

  1. Navigate to PBX → Extensions

    From the main navigation, click PBX and select Extensions.

  2. Click Create Extension

    Click the Create Extension button in the top-right corner of the page.

  3. Fill in the extension details

    Configure the following fields:

    FieldDescriptionRequired

    AgentThe user this extension is assigned toYes
    Caller ID NameThe name displayed on outbound callsNo
    Caller ID NumberThe number displayed on outbound callsNo

Extension Settings

Voicemail

When voicemail is enabled, unanswered calls are sent to the extension's voicemail box after the configured ring timeout. Voicemail messages appear in the Voicemail section.

Call Recording

When recording is enabled, all calls to and from this extension are automatically recorded. Recordings can be played back and downloaded from Call Logs.

Caller ID

You can set a specific outbound caller ID per extension. If not set, the system default or queue-level caller ID is used.

Editing an Extension

Click the edit icon on any extension row to modify its settings. Changes take effect immediately — the agent does not need to re-register their phone.

Deleting an Extension

Click the delete icon to remove an extension.

Deleting an extension immediately disconnects any active registrations. The agent will no longer be able to make or receive calls on that extension. Call logs and recordings are preserved.

Softphone Registration

Agents can connect to their extension using:

  1. Browser Softphone — Built into VoiceCenter, no software needed. Click the floating dial pad button.
  2. External SIP Client — Use apps like Zoiper, Linphone, or MicroSIP with the SIP credentials shown in the extension details.
