Chapter 5 Configuring Features, Templates, Services, and Users

Modifying Phone Button Templates

To modify a phone button template, choose Device > Device Settings > Phone Button Template from Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. To assign a phone button template to a phone, use the Phone Button Template field in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Phone configuration window. Refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide and Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide for more information.

The default Cisco Unified IP Phone 7970 Series template that ships with the phone uses buttons 1 and 2 for lines and assigns buttons 3 through 8 as speed dial.

The recommended standard Cisco Unified IP Phone 7970 Series template uses buttons 1 and 2 for lines, assigns buttons 3 through 5 as speed dial, and buttons 6 through 8 as Hold, Conference, and Transfer, respectively.

To avoid confusion for users, do not assign a feature to a button and a softkey at the same time.

For more information about softkey templates, see Configuring Softkey Templates, page 5-19.
