This tool can be used to change the numbering of user extensions in a system between 2-digit and 3-digit. For 3-digit systems it can also be used to change the numbering of the extensions whereas 2-digits systems use the fixed extension numbers 10 to 57.
It is strongly recommended that these options are only used and changed on a newly installed system. Changing extension numbering affects other services including voicemail and may require extension reconfiguration of hunt groups and trunk call routes.
