- Folders: Inbox, Drafts, Junk, Sent, Trash are all default folders and come standard with each account. An account admin can create additional folders if they are needed.

- If it is a fax or a call recording (2 other types of messages that can appear here), it will specify that as well.
- Date: The time or date that the message came in. If it is from the current day, you will see a time.

if the device moves to a new location.

Now, what does the green dot mean?
Registration
What is Registration?
Registration is the process of your phone reaching out and opening a line of communication with our servers. If your
phone is registered, it means you can place and receive calls. If it is not registered, you will be unable to place or receive
calls (even if you have a dial tone).
What do the Green and Red Dots Mean?
A green dot means that your phone is registered, whereas a red dot means your phone is not registered.
What if I Have a Red Dot Next to My Phone? What Do I Do?
First thing to do is to make sure all of your cables (power, Ethernet) are all plugged in snugly. Once that is done, remove the power cord and wait 10 seconds, then plug it back in. The phone should re-register when it finishes booting up. If you
still have problems after that, contact your IT department (or whoever handles the phones).
Numbers
Company Numbers: Any business number that is on your Crexendo system.
Label: Internal (non-customer facing) use only, allows you to label each number.
Default Extension: The extension that rings first when you call that number.
Caller ID: The text that shows when you call out and show that number (i.e. 907-313-7806 will show “Ross Barkley” when
calling outbound).
Location: Optional, allows you to tie a number to a location.
Features: If anything is setup, such as e911 or SMS, on the number it will be listed in this column.
Personal Numbers: Any non-Crexendo number you want to use within your system, such as a cell phone.
Type: What “type” of phone/number is it. This is not important unless you use SMS notifications, so we generally
recommend using the “phone” type.
Hunt Timeout: How long that number will ring if it is used within a ring group.
Personal Numbers
Step 1: Click on the gear cog, then select “Add.” Step 2: Fill in the number on the number field. Step 3: Give it a label (makes it easier for your admins, as well as Crexendo support staff). Owner: Leave with yourself, or choose another user within your system if desired. Kind: Home, Cell (forces you to choose a mobile carrier), Office, Phone. We generally use the phone type, cell is only needed if you are setting up SMS notifications. Hunt Timeout: How long this number will ring if included in a ring group or a status. |
