### 3. Select the Main Line Call Queue

📝**Reminder: HBX Extension Numbering Guidelines**

To help keep your phone system organized and running smoothly, we’ve set some simple rules for assigning extension numbers:

 

- User Extensions: Assign extensions within the **2000–3999** range.
- Call Queues: Assign extensions within the **5000–5999** range.
- Park Queues: Assign extensions within the **7000–7050** range.
- Auto Attendants (IVRs): Assign extensions within the **9000–9099** range.

 

Following these ranges ensures consistency across your system and avoids any conflicts.

 

 

### 4. Verify Answering Rules

 

- On the Main Line Call Queue page, click on **Answering Rules**.
- Under **Default**, ensure the setup reflects the following:
