Configuring extension settings

1. Go to Extension > Extension > IP Extension and click New (or select and Edit an existing extension).
2. Enter an extension Number. A green check mark will appear to indicate that the number entered is Available.

FortiVoice auto-populates the User ID field.

3. Enter a Display name for the user. This is the name that appears on the phone screen when receiving a call from this extension.

Configuring device settings

1. In the Device Setting section, you can determine whether the IP extension is assigned as either a Desktop Phone, Soft Phone, or an Auxiliary Device. For this example, stay on the Desktop Phone tab, and set the Type to FortiFone from the drop-down menu.
2. For Device, click New, where you can enter the extension's device MAC address, Phone model, and assign a Phone profile.
3. Assign an appropriate SIP profile from the SIP settings drop-down, and assign an Emergency zone.
4. Then click Advanced to open the desktop phone advanced settings.



5. Enter or Generate a SIP password, and set Location to Internal.

Note that IP extensions that are designated as Internal are those extensions that do not traverse through NAT to connect to the FortiVoice unit. Select External if the extension does require NAT.

6. Optionally, enable message waiting indication (MWI), Auto answer, and Direct call. Then click Create.

Configuring user settings

1. In the User Setting section, under the Management tab, assign a User privilege, the Department the extension belongs to, and a Survival branch profile.

See Configuring voicemail for information on configuring the Voicemail settings.

2. Under the Web Access tab, set Authentication type to Local and enter or Generate a User password.
3. A warning may appear indicating that the system password policy is disabled. If this is the case, click Password policy is disabled to enable Password/PIN Policy, and configure the minimum requirements for passwords as appropriate.
4. Under the Phone Access tab, enter or Generate a Voicemail PIN and Personal code. These are used by the extension user to access their voicemail and the FortiVoice user portal, and to make restricted calls, respectively.

Configuring voicemail

1. In the User Setting section, under the Management tab, click Voicemail.
2. Set Main voice mailbox to the extension's own voice mailbox or that of another extension as the voice mailbox of this extension. Typically, you will use the default mailbox.

4. Click Close.

Configuring call center

You can enable the call center option, if you have purchased a call center license and uploaded that license on FortiVoice.

2. Select the newly created IP extension from the list, click Edit, and click Call Center.
3. Under Call Center, assign an Agent profile from the drop-down menu. For example, you can designate the extension as either a call center agent or manager.
