| Does Callcentric support extensions or sub-accounts? |
 |
Yes we do support extensions. Extensions easily allow you to share your Callcentric account and make it more versatile. With extensions you can use multiple UA on your account.
Extensions provide extra security features and customization through:
- Allowed calling areas
- IP Whitelisting
- Independent callerID
- Call waiting and more
Additionally, using Call treatments you can easily control your incoming calls.

| What is the default extension? |
|
The default extension, Extension 100, is the very first extension on your account. By default all incoming calls to any numbers on your account will go to the default extension.
The default extension is the same as your 1777 number. You do not need to add 100 to your 1777 number when configuring your UA, as in 1777MYCCID100, since our systems will automatically regcognize 1777MYCCID as the default extension.
The default extension CANNOT be deleted or disabled. |

| How will deleting an extension affect my existing call forwarding/call treatment rules? |
|
Whenever you delete an extension the process will check to see if the extension is currently included in any call treatments or DID forwarding rules on your account. Specifically:
If the extension is included in a call treatment by itself as the sole destination, with no other extensions or routes, then this call treatment will be deleted.
If the extension is included in a call treatment with other destinations/numbers then the extension will be removed from the call treatment.
If the extension is selected as the destination of a DID forward rule then the DID forwarding rule will be reset to point to Default (Call Treatments, Default extension). As such calls will go to either the default call treatment or default extension on your account. |

| Why is there an exclamation mark next to the extension in my Call treatment? |
|
If you see an exclamation mark  next to an extension in your call treatment rule then this may mean that the extension has been disabled.
You may simply:
- Edit the Call treatment to remove the affected extension
OR
- Review the extension in question by clicking on the EXTENSIONS link in the navigation
You may ignore this notification if you are sure everything is ok. |

| What does "Enabled on the Global Level" and "Enabled on the Extension Level" mean? |
|
There are a few preferences which are configurable as a global setting or on a per extension basis. Global settings affect ALL extensions. When configured on an Extension level the choices override the Global values. The following settings allow configuration on both the Global and Extension levels:
- Allow calls: Allows you to choose the destinations your account is allowed to call to
- IP Whitelist: Allows you to set the IP addresses/networks you would like to have access to your Callcentric account.
These features provide you with extra customization and flexibility on your Callcentric account. |
