Schema Considerations as per SS
Organizationally speaking, you may want to consider if the client has more than one (1) location.
When you visit a hotel, or a hospital, typically the first number represents what floor you need, followed by a room number. You could consider this same type of numbering schema to create your extensions 1000's for the first location, and 2000's for the 2nd building or location.
Example Schemas
100 - 199 Users extensions
200 - 299 More available extension range
300 - 399 Routing Users / Ring Groups / General Voice Mail etc.
400 - 499 Conference Bridge extensions
(Except for 411)
500 - 599 Auto Attendants
600 - 699 Call Queues
(Except for 611)
700 - 799 Reserved Space for Parking Functions
800 - 899 Available extension range
1000 - 1999
Users extensions in Building 1
2000 - 2999
Users extensions in Building 2
