2.2.8 Remote extensions
A remote extension allows you to connect an external telephone number.
This could be a cell phone or a number to your office. You can have it
operate similar to a local extension in your office. Any external telephone
number can be configured as a remote extension (i.e. cell phone, PDA, home
telephone or branch office).
With remote extensions, you can have calls forwarded directly from your
office to any phone number you choose. You can choose to screen callers. If
the remote extension is busy or unanswered, calls can be transferred back to
your office voicemail, another extension or forwarded to another out-of-
office telephone number (e.g. to a business partner’s cell phone).
To set up remote extensions, see Figure 58 and follow the steps below.
1. Open the TalkSwitch configuration software.
2. Select System Information -> Remote Extensions.
3. Click on a remote extension number, starting with 210. Add more

4. Click in the checkbox next to Activate Extension <ext>.
5. Enter a last and a first name into the Last name: and First name: fields to
identify the extension.
6. Enter the external phone number.

leave it at Hunt Group 9 unless you have pre-configured another group.
