No matter what your plans are for your new PBX, your first step will almost always be to create extensions.  Extensions are basically phones, or other user devices used to receive and make phone calls.  So let's begin creating your first extension.

Enter the desired extension number and click save.  Alternatively, if you are creating multiple extensions, you could select how many extensions you wish to create, starting with the "Starting Extension" you entered above by using the "Range" drop-down box. This can be done again later if you need additional extensions.

When finished, click save.
