You can fill in desired extension information in the exported file, and import the file to PBX again. If you have an organization tree for your extensions, you can also import and export extensions’ organization information. To import extensions, it’s recommended to start with exporting at least one extension created on your PBX so you can see the proper CSV format.
The configuration steps are as follows. For details, please refer to the administrator guide.
- Log in to the PBX management (administrator)
- Navigate to the Extension and Trunk > Extension Setting Page: Go to the PBX Extension Setting page.
