Configuring the Phone

Example: 00127F576611 (MAC address on John Doe’s phone)

Description—This is an optional field where you can enter a useful description. This will help you, if you need to search for information about this user.

Device Pool—Choose the device pool for which you want to assign this phone. The device pool defines sets of common characteristics for devices, such as region, date/time group, 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 features on a phone and identifies the predetermined number to be dialed after pressing the feature button. To configure the Predetermined Number for a feature, navigate to the Phone Button Template of Cisco Unified IP Phone 6911. In the template, 1 is always assigned to the line, so the button number minus 1 is the predetermined number that is provided by your system administrator.

Note Phone button templates are defined on the Phone Button Template Configuration window of Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration (Device > Device Settings > Phone Button Template). You can use the search field(s) in conjunction with the Find button to find all configured phone button templates and their current settings.

Common Phone Profile—From the drop-down list, choose a common phone profile from the list of available common phone profiles.

Note Common Phone Profiles are defined on the Common Phone Profile Configuration window of Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration (Device > Device Settings > Common Phone Profile). You can use the search field(s) in conjunction with the Find button to find all configured common phone profiles and their current settings.

Calling Search Space—From the drop-down list, choose the appropriate calling search space (CSS). A calling search space comprises a collection of partitions (analogous to a collection of available phone books) that are searched to determine how a dialed number should be routed. The calling search space for the device and the calling search space for the directory number get used together. The directory number CSS takes precedence over the device CSS.

Note Calling Search Spaces are defined on the Calling Search Space Configuration window of Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration (Calling routing > Class of Control > Calling Search Space). You can use the search field(s) in conjunction with the Find button to find all configured Calling Search Spaces and their current settings.

Location—Choose the appropriate location for this Cisco Unified IP Phone.

Owner User ID—From the drop-down list, choose the user ID of the assigned phone user.
