Batch update emergency CID

FreePBX Tips and Tricks
1

Hi guys,

We recently started using freepbx for a project consisting of over 1000 extensions. No problem doing batch creating extensions but I can’t find any way of specifiying emergency CID. Also tried looking into DB, and various config files but I just can’t find where this value is specified for each extension.

Any help is much appreciated.

Sorry, found the info in db table devices…
Is it OK to just update the information into table? or there’s more background work that needs to be done?

Look at the bulk extension module. You can export to excel, do what you need and import.http://wiki.freepbx.org/display/F2/Bulk+Extensions
