Managing Device Profiles
A device profile is made up of a set of attributes (services and/ or features)
associated with a particular device. Device profiles include name, descriptio n,
phone template, add-on modules, directory number s, subscribed services, and
speed dial information.
You can think of the device profile as a device which is not yet physically
embodied. It has all the properties of a device except those which are explicitly
tied to a device, like MAC address or directory URL, for example.
When a device profile has been loaded onto a device, that device adopts the
attributes of that device profile. A device can adopt a device profile when there is
no user logged in (that is, when a device is first initialized and when a user logs
out) or when a user logs in.
There are two types of device profiles: autogenerated device profiles and user
device profiles.

Autogenerated Device Profile

An autogenerated device profile generates when you update the phone settings
and choose a current setting to generate an autogenerated device profile. An
autogenerated device profile represents a snapshot of an exi sting device’s
configuration.
The autogenerated device profile associates with a specific phone to be the logout
device profile. That is, when a logout command for a device is received, this is the
profile loaded onto a device.
An autogenerated device profile cannot be associated with a user. An
autogenerated device profile can only be loaded onto a device when there is no
user logged in. You can modify the autogenerated device profile, but not delete it.

User Device Profile

You can assign a user device profile to a user so that when a user logs in or out of
a device, the corresponding user device profile is loaded onto that device. Devices
can adopt user device profiles when a user logs into a device or when there is no
user logged in.You can modify, or delete a user device profile in the Cisco
CallManager administration pages.
