Creating a SIP Extension in Yeastar P-Series Cloud Edition

extension SIP create user add extension

Introduction

An extension is an internal phone number assigned to a person. Every team member who needs to make or receive calls needs their own extension. This guide covers how to create one in the Yeastar P-Series Cloud Edition admin portal.

Menu path

Extension and Trunk > Extension, click Add, then select Add.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1 — User Information

Fill in the personal details for this user:

Field What to enter
First Name User's first name
Last Name User's last name
Email Address Work email — used for voicemail-to-email and welcome emails
Mobile Number Optional — used for SMS notifications
User Password Password the user logs into the Linkus app with
User Role Select User for a standard employee; Admin only for IT administrators

Step 2 — Extension Information

Scroll down to the Extension Information section:

Field What to enter
Extension Number e.g. 1001 — use a consistent numbering scheme
Caller ID Usually the user's name — shown on receiving phones when they call internally
Registration Name Usually the same as the extension number
Registration Password Auto-generated — note this down, you'll need it to register an IP phone

Leave Concurrent Registrations at defaults unless the user needs to be logged in on multiple devices simultaneously.

Step 3 — Save

Click Save and Apply (the orange button that appears at the top of the page).

Step 4 — Verify

Go back to Extension and Trunk > Extension. The new extension appears in the list. Its status will show as offline until a phone or the Linkus app registers to it.

Sending a welcome email to the user

After creating the extension:
1. Find the extension in the list and click to edit it.
2. Click Send Email — this sends the user their Linkus app QR code and login details.

Bulk importing extensions

To create many extensions at once:
1. Go to Extension and Trunk > Extension.
2. Click Import and download the CSV template.
3. Fill in the spreadsheet and upload it.

Tips

  • Use 4-digit extension numbers (e.g. 1001, 1002) for businesses — they're easier to remember than 3-digit numbers if you have more than 9 users.
  • Extension numbers must be unique across the system.
  • You can edit any field later by clicking the extension in the list.

Summary

The extension is created. Next, register a SIP phone or the Linkus app to this extension so the user can start making and receiving calls.
