Modifying Phone Button Templates

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 Cisco Unified 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 Cisco Unified CallManager Administration. To assign a phone button template to a phone, use the Phone Button Template field in the Cisco Unified CallManager Administration Phone Configuration page. Refer to Cisco Unified CallManager 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 Unified CallManager Administration, you can manage softkeys associated with applications that are supported by the Cisco Unified IP Phones 7970G/7971G-GE. Cisco Unified 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.
