•
Name or user ID of phone user
•
Device pool
•
Partition, calling search space, and location information
•
Number of lines and associated directory numbers (DNs) to assign to the phone
•
Cisco Unified Communications Manager user to associate with the phone
•
Phone usage information that affects phone button template, phone features, IP Phone services, or phone
applications
The information provides a list of configuration requirements for setting up phones and identifies preliminary
configuration that you need to perform before configuring individual phones, such as phone button templates.
For more information, see the “Cisco Unified IP Phones” chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications
Manager System Guide.
Step 2
Verify that you have sufficient unit licenses for your phone. For more information, see the “Licensing” section
in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Features and Services Guide.
Step 3
Customize phone button templates (if required) by changing the number of line buttons, speed-dial buttons
or service URL buttons. Select Device > Device Settings > Phone Button Template to create and update
the templates.
You can add a Privacy, All Calls, or Mobility button to meet user needs.
For more information, see the “Phone button template setup” chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications
Manager Administration Guide and Phone Button Templates, on page 234.
Step 4
Define the Device Pools. Select System > Device Pool.
Device Pools define common characteristics for devices, such as region, date/time group, softkey template,
and MLPP information. For information on Device Pool setup, see the “Device pool setup” chapter in the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide.
Step 5
Define the Common Phone Profile. Select Device > Device settings > Common Phone Profile.
Common phone profiles provide data that the Cisco TFTP server requires, as well as common phone settings,
such as Do Not Disturb and feature control options. For more information, see the “Common phone profile
setup” chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide.
Step 6
Define a Calling Search Space. In Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, click Call Routing
> Class of Control > Calling Search Space.
A Calling Search Space is a collection of partitions that are searched to determine how a dialed number is
routed. The calling search space for the device and the calling search space for the directory number are used
together. The directory number CSS takes precedence over the device CSS. For more information, see the
“Calling search space setup” chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide.
Step 7
Configure a security profile for the device type and protocol. Select System > Security > Phone Security
Profile.
For more information, see the “Phone security profile setup” chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications
Manager Security Guide.
Step 8
Add and configure the phone by completing the required fields in the Phone Configuration window. An
asterisk (*) next to the field name indicates a required field; for example, MAC address and device pool.
This step adds the device with the default settings to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database.
