Basic Phone Administration Steps

This appendix provides minimum, basic configuration steps for you to do the following:

•Add a new user to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration

•Configure a new phone for that user

•Associate that user to that phone

•Complete other basic end-user configuration tasks

The procedures provide one method for performing these tasks and are not the only way to perform these tasks. They are a streamlined approach to get a new user and corresponding phone running on the system.

These procedures are designed to be used on a mature Cisco Unified Communications Manager system where calling search spaces, partitions, and other complicated configuration have already been done and are in place for existing users.

This section contains these topics:
