Important

ALL PHYSICAL EXTENSION REQUIRE AN EXTENSION NUMBER!

If you do not have an extension numbering plan already in place, it is recommended that you create one before adding extensions to the NocTel interface. All extensions linked to a physical device MUST HAVE an assigned extension number.

It is highly recommended that you have a standard basic model that you will use throughout an account.
