Configuring Features, Templates, Services, and Users
After you install Cisco Unified IP Phones in your network, configure their network settings, and add
them to Cisco Unified CM, you must use the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration
application to configure telephony features, optionally modify phone templates, set up services, and
assign users.
This chapter provides an overview of these configuration and setup procedures. The Cisco Unified CM
documentation provides detailed instructions for these procedures.
To list supported features for all phones or for a particular phone model on your Cisco Unified
Communications Manager, you can generate a Unified CM Phone Feature List report on Cisco Unified
Reporting.
For suggestions about how to provide users with information about features, and what information to
provide, see Appendix A, “Providing Information to Users Via a Website.”
For information about setting up phones in non-English environments, see Appendix C, “Technical
Specifications.”
