Part 1 – Create a test extension in Elastix

This is part 1 of a series of posts on setting up an Elastix extension with A2Billing. See here for details of the other parts – Using A2Billing to account for extension calls in Elastix

Log in to Elastix -

Click on the PBX tab at the top to go to phone system setup (actually a skinned version of FreePBX) -

Click Submit to create a Generic SIP device. Give your test extension a number (I’ve used 1000) and a name -

Give your extension a password (secret). Make sure it’s a complex password and definitely not just based on numbers -

Click on Submit at the bottom of the page and then “Apply Configuration Changes Here” at the top of the screen. It’s important to do this after any changes -

You’re done. Now move on to the next part – Part 2 – Set up x-lite to use your Elastix extension
