Creating Extension Groups

This article will provide a walkthrough in enabling extension groups in bvoip's phone system.

What is a Extension Group?

A extension group is a grouping created for set of extension users that helps with the phonebook  organization and the management of those groupings. This is similar to a Call Queue, without the option of being a destination for Inbound Rules, Call Queues, Ring Groups and Auto-Attendants.
