MAXCS ACM 6.0 Administration Manual
There are three types of extensions:
•
Physical Extensions are associated with a physical port and device, usually a
telephone set. This is what most users think of as an extension .
•
Virtual Extensions are not associated with a physical port. Virtual extensions can
be used as message mailboxes and in telephone sharing environments. Users of a
virtual extension can log in on any available station to access physical extension
features using Feature Codes.
•
IP Extensions are generally associated with an AltiGen IP phone. The option is
unavailable when the Enable IP Extension option is not checked. When Enable IP
Extension is checked, it will allow the AltiGen IP phone to log on as an IP extension.

default). Use the
Shift or Ctrl keys to select several extensions.
The Apply To button is disabled unless a change you made can be applied to other
extensions. When you use the button to apply changes to multiple extensions, it works
on only those changed attributes that can be applied.
