Tutorials: Bulk Import Extensions

Bulk Import Extensions

Under the "Extension / Trunk" tab, click on "Extensions" from the drop down.

Since there are many fields, it is recommended to create a single extension. You would then export it so that all the extensions have the same settings.

You will update the following fields:

Extension: Extension Number

CallerID Number: Number to be displayed as outbound caller ID (optional)

SIP/IAX Password: See Command below

Voicemail Password: See Command below

  • User Password: See Command below
