Extensions

Each extension is routed through Cytracom’s PBX. Calls can be routed in many ways based on the configuration of each extension in the PBX. User rights are determined by a System Administrator; therefore, some users may not be able to change their extension’s settings without the help of a System Administrator.

The PBX will list all extensions of an account.

Creating an Extension:

• In the PBX, click the Extensions tab on the menu bar.
• Click + New. (If this button does not work, all of the available extensions may be in use. Please contact our Account Management department for further assistance.)
• Assign a 2-6 digit extension number for the new user.
• Name the extension with the person’s first and last name.
• Select a phone number under the Outgoing Caller ID to be used as the outbound caller ID for this extension.
• Under the E911 Location, select the location for this extension.
• Define routing options under the Call Routing tab.
• Designate the Try First route for a call.
• The If Busy option will only be triggered if the call is rejected by pressing Reject on the device or if Do Not Disturb (DND) is enabled.
• If Not Answered will route calls to the option chosen.
• If Offline defines the route of a call if there is a problem with the phone’s registration, the internet is not working, the power is out, or the phone has come unplugged.
• OPTIONAL - Find Me tab under Call Routing:

Note:  The Find Me setting is available to allow a user to receive calls on their personal device without giving out their personal number. If a Find Me call goes unanswered, the call is pulled back to the PBX so a voicemail can be left on the system instead of on a personal device. The user will have the options to accept the incoming call (by pressing 1) or reject the call (by pressing 2).

• Select the Route Type (up to 5).
• All routes will ring at once if Blast Calls is enabled.
• Select if the caller should record their name to be announced.
• Choose the number of rings for each route.
• Route the unanswered call to a mailbox.
• Click Submit.
