Create an FXS Extension

This topic describes how to create an FXS extension and configure relevant settings.

Prerequisites

You have installed an S2 module or SO module on the PBX.

Procedure

  1. Log in to PBX web portal, go to Extension and Trunk > Extension, click Add and select Add.
  2. In the Basic section, configure basic settings of the extension as follows:
    1. In the Extension Type drop-down list, select FXS Extension.
    2. In the FXS Port drop-down list, select an FXS port.
  3. In the User Information section, configure user information as follows:
    • First Name: Enter the user's first name.
    • Last Name: Enter the user's last name.
    • Email Address: Enter the user's email address. The user can reset login password of PBX web portal and Linkus clients login password, receive voicemail messages, or PBX notifications via the email address.
      Note: An email address is exclusive to a user.
    • Mobile Number: Enter the user's mobile number. The user can receive calls or PBX notifications on this mobile number.
    • User Password: Enter a user password. The user can use the password to log in to Linkus clients.
    • User Role: Assign a role to the user to determine whether the user can manage specific PBX features.
      The default value is None, which means that the user can not manage specific PBX features.
      Note: The system has default user roles with pre-configured permissions. You can also Create a User Role.
    • Organization: Select one or more organizations to which the extension belongs.
      Note: This option is available only when you enable the Organization Management feature.
    • Job Title: Enter a job title for the user, which will be displayed on Linkus clients.
  4. In the Language section, configure language preferences for the extension.
    • Notification Email Language: Select language used in system-generated email notifications sent to the extension.
      Note:
      • If you select Follow System, the email language will follow the settings in System > Email > Email Templates > Notification Email Language.
      • This setting only applies to system default emails. It does not affect customized email templates.
    • System Prompt Language: Select the language of the system prompts heard by the extension user during a call.
      Note: The available languages are synchronized from System Prompt (Path: PBX Settings > Voice Prompt > System Prompt).
    • Voicemail Language: Select the language of voicemail prompts heard by callers when they access the extension's voicemail.
      Note:
      • The available languages are synchronized from System Prompt (Path: PBX Settings > Voice Prompt > System Prompt).
      • If the extension's voicemail has set up a custom greeting, the custom greeting will be played to callers instead. In this case, the language setting will be ignored.
  5. In the Extension Information section, configure extension information as follows:
    • Extension Number: Enter an extension number.
    • Caller ID: Enter a caller ID number. The caller ID will be displayed on the callee's device.
  6. Optional: In the Permission Configuration section, assign the extension to extension groups or remove it from assigned groups, and manage user types and permissions within the assigned groups as needed.
  7. Optional: Click other tabs to configure other settings according to your needs.
  8. Click Save and Apply.
