Created extensions
On Figure 10, you can see the list of all the existing phone lines (Figure 10). You can see that now there is a phone line named '1000' which was the example name before. Create another phone line named something different. In this example, it is named '2000'. This phone line will be used as the receiver of the phone call. You can now use these extensions as phone lines.
Register the phone line
Now you need to register those phone lines in the Ozeki PBX application. Click the 'Register' button located under the Status textbox. After clicking it, you will see the SIP account settings panel. Provide all the information about the first phone line and click the 'Ok' button. It will register your phone line to the program. Repeat this step with the second extension as well. This way you can use both as phone lines.
Softphone connection is active
Head over to the list of the existing phone line. There you will find that the registered extension will be visible online (Figure 12). If the dot before the title of the extension is green, it means that the phone line is registered in PBX and the connection is active. If you see that the extension is active, you can start using it.
Successful call
You can use the PBX application to start a call between the two connections. As you can see highlighted on Figure 13, you can see the incoming and outgoing calls in the active calls tab.
