Sample templates are included in the provisioning packages for the handset
Note:
software available on the Avaya support pages.
It is possible to select a telephone in PDM and directly change one or more configuration
parameters. It is recommended to use a template to apply configuration changes to telephones.
A template contains one or more parameter settings. By using a template, the same
configuration can easily be applied to many telephones simultaneously. Templates are an
efficient way to give good control over which changes that are applied to each telephone.
This enables configuration of all aspects of a telephone from sound volume to keypad shortcuts.
Your supplier can provide example templates for different PBX's. The telephone will have full
functionality towards the PBX even without such a template. By using such a template, though,
the telephone will be customized for that PBX with menu options for PBX specific functions such
as Callback.

Saving a telephone configuration as a template

at a later stage or as a template that can be applied to a number of telephones.
