Subscriber Import

The Subscriber Import provides an easy way to import large lists of subscribers into OfficeServ System from any existing text file. Use an existing text file with all employees listed to quickly create an import file and follow the instructions provided by OfficeServ System in the dialog screens.

Select Group

Select the Group Number the subscribers will be listed under.Group Numbers are convenient for organizing large sets of subscribers into specific groups. In special cases, e.g. multiple tenants sharing a switch, or when OfficeServ System is connected to more than one switch, it is necessary to partition subscribers extensions and mailboxes. In such cases, several subscribers may have the same Extension or Mailbox Number, or the tenants may wish to restrict transfers between the different groups. Because OfficeServ System does not allow the same Extension or Mailbox Number to be used more than once in a Group, and only allows transfers between members of the same Group, it is recommended that all subscribers use Group 01.Values from 01 to 99 are valid entries.

 

Select the .txt file to import

The file name can be any text(.txt) file.

 

Select Subscriber Objects
Select subscriber objects for easy importation of a large number of subscribers. In the selection field enter either:
for Extensions
for Mailboxes
for Both EXT & MBX
Create a text file, or use any existing text file, to import subscribers. The file can be named user.txt and include separate columns for the user name, extension, and/or mailbox. Only the subscriber list may be in the file. The user.txt file can look like:
Sandy Parks 217 217
Dusty Roads 222 202
Sonny Skies 227 007
Jane Doe 201
John Doe 202
