5. In a multi-unit system, select the TalkSwitch unit the extension will be associated with. This unit will hold the voicemail for the extension. Click Next

7. Assign an Extension number

8. Select Counterpath as the Phone type. Click Finish

9. In the Extension tab, select the language for prompts heard by the user of the extension in the System Prompt Language list. Setting the prompt language will also change the language for text displayed on the phone itself
