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 Communications Manager Administration, then locate and click Cisco IP Phone Address Book

Synchronizer.

Modifying Phone Button Templates

Phone button templates let you assign speed dials and call-handling features to programmable line buttons. Call-handling features that can be assigned to buttons include call forward, hold, and conference.

Ideally, you modify templates before registering phones on the network. In this way, you can access customized phone button template options from Cisco Unified Communications Manager during registration.

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 page. See Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide and Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide for more information.
