Adding a New Extension

Extensions are the internal numbers used within your phone system. Each user or device typically has its own extension. This guide walks you through adding a new extension in the Click2Call portal, using a real example with step-by-step screenshots.

1

Log in to the portal

Navigate to portal.click2call.com.au and sign in with your account credentials. Once logged in, you will land on the Account Summary page.

Generate a password and click “Add New User”

Click Generate a random password to create a secure SIP password automatically — the Password and Confirm Password fields will be filled in. Then click the Add New User button to save the extension.

Important: Make a note of the generated password before saving — you will need it to register a desk phone or softphone app to this extension. The password is not shown again after the form is submitted.

Extension created — next steps

Once saved, the new extension will appear in the User Extensions list on the Voice Numbers page. The extension is now active and ready to be assigned to a device. Your next steps are:

  • Register a desk phone using the extension number and SIP password
  • Or install a softphone app (e.g. Zoiper, Bria) and log in with the SIP credentials
  • Add the extension to a ring group or call flow to receive inbound calls
