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 in 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 8941 template that ships with the phone uses buttons 1 through 4 for lines.

•The default Cisco Unified IP Phone 8945 template that ships with the phone uses buttons 1 through 4 for lines.

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 5-20.

Modifying a Phone Button Template for Personal Address Book or Speed Dials

You can modify a phone button template to associate a service URL with a line button. Doing so enables users to have single-button access to the PAB and Speed Dials. Before you modify the phone button template, you must configure PAB or Speed Dials as an IP phone service.

To configure PAB or Speed Dial as an IP phone service (if it is not already a service), follow these steps:

Procedure

Step 1 From Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, choose Device >Device Settings > Phone Services.

The Find and List IP Phone Services window displays.

Step 2 Click Add New.

The IP Phone Services Configuration window displays.

Step 3 Enter the following settings:

•Service Name and ASCII Service Name—Enter Personal Address Book.

•Service Description—Enter an optional description of the service.

•Service URL
