Sub Extension

I have a situation where some phones are set paralleled using the same extension from the current PABX system. Is it possible to have a sub extension using Asterisk? TIA

what is the way you want to use the extension?
You could create a ring group so that whenever you call a certain extension a bunch of phones ring at once. Each phone would have its own extension already, the ring group would just call all of them

Can you explain what is ring group? What I want to have is whenever there is incoming call to let’s say extenstion 123 which is this extension consists a bunch of phones, I want asterisk to handle it and re route it. So it could be something like this 123#1 is going to phone number 1, etc. TIA

I still am not sure what you mean. A ring group rings a group of phones when it is called. So you could have ext 123 and when someone called 123 it would also ring at 124,125,126,127,128… I am not sure if you want this to happen though. It kind of sounds like you may want a queue?
