It is also possible to create a template from a portable that is online but not stored in the
database. The template will contain all parameters for the device except for those that are
Number specific.

Saving a device configuration as a template

It is possible to use an already configured device and save it as a template. The template will
contain configuration data and will not include contacts and other personal data if it is a handset.
This template can be used as a backup if you later want to restore the configuration of the
device, or as a template to be applied on a number of devices.
1. Some parameters are user specific. If you want to apply this type of template to several
handsets, Avaya recommends you to exclude the following parameters:
Owner ID - A text string specified in standby mode. The parameter is located directly
●
Under "Settings".
Phone lock PIN code - The security code used to unlock the keypad. The parameter
●
is located under under Settings > Locks.
2. Open the Device Manager.
3. Select the Numbers tab and select the handset you want to save as a template.
4. Right-click and select "Use as a template...". Enter a descriptive name for the template.
5. The Edit template window is opened. By default, all parameters are selected and are
saved when clicking "OK". If one or more parameters should be excluded, remove them by
clearing the checkbox next to the parameter.
6. Click "OK".
Note:
When the Edit template window is opened from the "Use as template" command,
Note:
an extra drop-down list is shown in the bottom left corner. This setting decides
which parameters that shall be copied from the Number. If "All parameters" is
selected, the synchronization time will be longer. It is also possible to create a
template from a handset that is online but not stored in the database. The
template will contain all parameters for the device except for those that are
Number specific.
