Step 1 From Cisco Unified Communications Manager administration, choose Device > Phone >. Step 2 Click Add New.

Step 3 Select the user’s phone model from the Phone Type drop-down list, then click Next. The Phone Configuration window appears.

On the Phone Configuration window, you can use the default values for most of the fields.

To configure the required fields and some key additional fields, follow these steps:

Procedure

Step 1 For the required fields, possible values, some of which are based on the example of user johndoe, can be configured as follows:

a.In the Device Information pane of this window:

–MAC Address—Enter the MAC address of the phone, which is listed on a sticker on the phone. Make sure that the value comprises 12 hexadecimal characters.

Example: 00127F576611 (MAC address on john doe’s phone)

–Description—This is an optional field in which you can enter a useful description, such as john doe’s phone. This will help you if you need to search on information about this user.

–Device Pool—Choose the device pool to which you want this phone assigned. The device pool defines sets of common characteristics for devices, such as region, date/time group, softkey template, and MLPP information.

Note Device Pools are defined on the Device Pool Configuration window of Cisco Unified Communications Server Administration (System > Device Pool).

–Phone Button Template—Choose the appropriate phone button template from the drop-down list. The phone button template determines the configuration of buttons on a phone and identifies which feature (line, speed dial, and so on) is used for each button.
