On the PBX

2) PBX Configuration
3) On the drop down select Generic Sip Device
4) Click Submit
5) Input the extension number you wish to assign (4 digits only, i tried 6 and it doesnt work right)

7) Scroll down to “this device uses Sip Technology”
a. Secret field input a password we used the ext # for ease of set up
8) Voicemail?
9) Submit
