3. Creating Extensions
Introduction
After you have installed 3CX Phone System, you will need to follow a number of steps to
complete the setup:
1. Create 3CX Phone System extensions.
2. Configure software and/or hardware SIP phones.
3. Configure phone lines.
To get started, start-up the 3CX Management console from the 3CX program group, or
point your web browser to the Management Console by entering the name of the machine
on which 3CX Phone System is installed, followed by port 5481. (For example:
A login page will appear. Enter the Username and Password that you provided during
setup, select the language you would like to use and then click on the ‘Login’ button.
The 3CX Phone System Management console will appear. The screen is divided in 2
main sections:
A left hand menu which includes the most important configuration sections, including
Extensions, Lines, Outbound rules, Advanced and General.
A right hand section which lists the configuration/management options for the
selected configuration option.
The first time you start-up the management console it will show you a screen with the
steps you still need to perform to get 3CX Phone System up and running. The second
time you start-up the Management console, after you have created the extensions, it will
display the line status of all extensions and external lines.
Adding Extensions
To add an extension, click ‘Add’ in the Extensions section. This will bring up the ‘Add
Extension Page’.
