Create a New Extension
Before provisioning a phone to work with NocTel, the device's MAC address must be linked to an extension in the Control Panel. Follow these steps to create a new extension:
- From the control panel, click on Extensions.
- Click on the Add a New Extension link.
- Select the Poly (Polycom) IP Phone, from the list, and click Add Device.
- Complete the fields on the new page:
- Device MAC: Enter the phone's 12-digit MAC address. The MAC address can be found on a silver sticker, with a barcode, on the back of the phone.
- Ext. #: Give the extension a distinct extension number not currently in use in your account.
- Line: For all standard applications, leave as 1st
- Extension Name: Enter a descriptive name for the extension.
- Device MAC: Enter the phone's 12-digit MAC address. The MAC address can be found on a silver sticker, with a barcode, on the back of the phone.
