By default HUD comes with no extension numbers in it. You must first add extensions to it. That means that your users will not be able to log in until you specify their extensions as “In HUD”. Begin by logging into the PBXtra Admin Web Interface at the following URL:
Normal Customers | Customers enrolled in BETA program |
Note: If you have more than one PBXtra , you must specify which PBXtra server number you want HUD installed on. The server number is listed on the bottom right corner of your Control Panel. If you wish to have HUD on multiple servers, you must purchase HUD for each individual server.
Once you are logged in, click on the “Extensions” tab. For each extension you want to include in HUD in its display, edit the extension and enable the “In HUD” option by setting it to “yes”.
Remember… |
•Only the extension numbers you mark as “In HUD” will be able to use HUD. If a username/password for an extension without this setting is used, the login will fail. •Only extensions marked as "In HUD" (with the proper rights.See rights section) are seen in HUD.If you are not a Call Center Edition customer, all extensions will display by default. |
Setting up Rights (Call Center customers)
...
There are two types of HUD rights:
Self Rights | Group Rights |
These rights control what a user can do with his/her own extension within HUD.
You can find these groups in the PBXtra
Rights Group :: HUD self-rights | These rights control what a user can do to members of other groups within HUD.
You can find these groups in the PBXtra Rights Group :: HUD group-to-group rights |
Group-to-group rights can be confusing, so take some time to look at them carefully to understand what they are doing. HUD rights give you the flexibility to prevent those users from performing actions or seeing information that you feel may not be appropriate for them. For example, you probably want to restrict who can record the CEO’s calls.

The following is a breakdown of the people in the company and their position.
Support | Sales | Support Mgr | Sales Mgr | Receptionist |
7400 7401 7402 | 7600 7601 7602 | 7004
| 7006
| 7000
|
Remember… |
·First create your groups, and then assign rights to them. Do not attempt to assign any rights until you have created all your groups. Using this approach will simplify the configuration process for you. |
Create all of your groups
Create a rights group called “Support” and add extensions 7400, 7401, and 7402 to the “Users in Group” box and click “Add Rights Group” at the bottom of the page.
Create a rights group called “Sales” and add extensions 7600, 7601, and 7602 to the “Users in Group” box and click “Add Rights Group” at the bottom of the page.
Create a rights group called “Support Manager” and add extension 7004 to the “Users in Group” box and click “Add Rights Group” at the bottom of the page.
Create a rights group called “Sales Manager” and add extension 7006 to the “Users in Group” box and click “Add Rights Group” at the bottom of the page.
Create a rights group called “Reception” and add extension 7000 to the “Users in Group” box and click “Add Rights Group” at the bottom of the page.
Add rights to each group
Now that your groups are created, it’s time to assign rights to them. The first right we want to apply will allow managers to see, barge and record calls only from their own department. We will also allow managers to record their own calls. We will allow the receptionist to see all extensions in the company and transfer calls to them. We also want each person from the sales and support department to see everyone in their department and be able to transfer calls to them, including their manager. Members of each department will be restricted from seeing any details about their manager’s calls.
