To synchronize with Microsoft Outlook, users must install the TABSynch utility,
provided by you. To obtain the TABSynch software to distribute to users, choose
Application > Plugins from CiscoUnified CallManager Administration, then
locate and click Cisco IP Phone Address Book Synchronizer.
Modifying Phone Button Templates
Phone button templates let you assign features to line/speed dial buttons.
Ideally, you modify templates before registering phones on the network. In this
way, you can access customized phone button template options from
Cisco Unified CallManager during registration.
To modify a phone button template, choose Device > Device Settings > Phone
Button Template from CiscoUnified CallManager Administration. To assign a
phone button template to a phone, use the Phone Button Template field in the
Cisco UnifiedCallManager Administration Phone Configuration page. Refer to
Cisco UnifiedCallManager Administration Guide and Cisco Unified
CallManager System Guide for more information.
The default Cisco Unified IP Phone 7970 Series template uses buttons 1 and 2 for
lines and assigns buttons 3 through 8 as speed dial. Access other phone features,
such as call park, call forward, redial, hold, resume, voice messaging system,
conferencing, and so on using softkeys on the phone.
Configuring Softkey Templates
Using Cisco UnifiedCallManager Administration, you can manage softkeys
associated with applications that are supported by the Cisco Unified IP Phones
7970G/7971G-GE. CiscoUnified CallManager supports two types of softkey
templates: standard and nonstandard. Standard softkey templates include
Standard User and Standard Feature. An application that supports softkeys can
have one or more standard softkey templates associated with it. You can modify
a standard softkey template by making a copy of it, giving it a new name, and
making updates to that copied softkey template. You can also modify a
nonstandard softkey template.
