Configuring the Phone

Procedure

Step 1 For the required fields, possible values, some of which are based on the example of user johndoe, can be configured as follows:

a.In the Device Information pane of this window:

–MAC Address—Enter the MAC address of the phone, which is listed on a sticker on the phone. Make sure that the value comprises 12 hexadecimal characters.

Example: 00127F576611 (MAC address on john doe’s phone)

–Description—This is an optional field in which you can enter a useful description, such as john doe’s phone. This will help you if you need to search on information about this user.

–Device Pool—Choose the device pool to which you want this phone assigned. The device pool defines sets of common characteristics for devices, such as region, date/time group, softkey template, and MLPP information.

Note Device Pools are defined on the Device Pool Configuration window of Cisco Unified Communications Server Administration (System > Device Pool).

–Phone Button Template—Choose the appropriate phone button template from the drop-down list. The phone button template determines the configuration of buttons on a phone and identifies which feature (line, speed dial, and so on) is used for each button.

Note Phone button templates are defined on the Phone Button Template Configuration window of Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration (Device > Device Settings > Phone Button Template). You can use the search fields in conjunction with the Find button to find all configured phone button templates and their current settings.

–Softkey Template—Choose the appropriate softkey template. The softkey template determines the configuration of the softkeys on Cisco Unified IP Phones. Leave this field blank if the common device configuration contains the assigned softkey template.

Note Softkey templates are defined on the Softkey Template Configuration window of Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration (Device > Device Settings > Softkey Template). You can use the search fields in conjunction with the Find button to find all configured softkey templates and their current settings.

–Common Phone Profile—From the drop-down list box, choose a common phone profile from the list of available common phone profiles.

Note Common Phone Profiles are defined on the Common Phone Profile Configuration window of Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration (Device > Device Settings > Common Phone Profile). You can use the search fields in conjunction with the Find button to find all configured common phone profiles and their current settings.
