Modifying Phone Button Templates
Although the Cisco Unified IP Phones 7960G and 7940G support similar features, each phone model
can implement these features differently. Modify phone button templates to assign features to phone
buttons and to customize features for a phone model.
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
Administration during registration.
To modify a phone button template, choose Device > Device Settings> Phone Button Template from
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

model. Familiarize yourself with the configuration options described in
