Create copies of a voice port

To create one or more new voice ports by copying from an existing voice port, right-click on the voice port and select Copy.  This will open the Copy Voice Port dialog, as shown below.

The dialog displays the port number you are copying from and provides a box in which you can type the number of ports to create.  The system will automatically assign the port numbers, starting with the next available number.  In the above example, if we assume you already have four ports defined, the system will create voice port 5.

Click OK to create the ports (if allowed) or Cancel to close the dialog without creating any ports.

Since you are creating the port(s) based on the settings of an existing port, the system will not open the Port Configuration dialog but will simply create the ports, filling in key values using the settings from the existing port.  Note, however, that the Extension field will be defaulted to 0. Depending on your PBX integration, you may need to enter the correct extension number for the integration to work correctly.

Note: The system will not allow you to create more ports than you are licensed for (defined by the Voice Ports setting in the Installed Features dialog).  If you try to do so, as soon as you click OK to create the ports the system will inform you that you cannot create any more ports and the ports will not be created.  This is true even if it could have created some, but not all, of the ports.  It will return you to the Copy Voice Port dialog and the Number of ports to define setting will be adjusted to the number of ports you are allowed to create.
