• Description: This is an optional field in which you can enter a useful description, such as john doe's
phone. This will help you if you need to search on information about this user.
• Device Pool: Choose the device pool to which you want this phone assigned. The device pool defines
sets of common characteristics for devices, such as region, date/time group, softkey template, and
MLPP information.
Device Pools are defined on the Device Pool Configuration window of Cisco Unified
Note
Communications Server Administration (System > Device Pool).
• Phone Button Template: Choose the appropriate phone button template from the drop-down list. The
phone button template determines the configuration of buttons on a phone and identifies which
feature (line, speed dial, and so on) is used for each button.
Phone button templates are defined on the Phone Button Template Configuration window of Cisco
Unified Communications Manager Administration (Device > Device Settings > Phone Button
Template). You can use the search fields in conjunction with the Find button to find all configured
phone button templates and their current settings.
• Softkey Template: Choose the appropriate softkey template. The softkey template determines the
configuration of the softkeys on Cisco Unified IP Phones. Leave this field blank if the common
device configuration contains the assigned softkey template.
Softkey templates are defined on the Softkey Template Configuration window of Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Administration (Device > Device Settings > Softkey Template). You
can use the search fields in conjunction with the Find button to find all configured softkey templates
and their current settings.
• Common Phone Profile: From the drop-down list box, choose a common phone profile from the list
of available common phone profiles.
Common Phone Profiles are defined on the Common Phone Profile Configuration window of Cisco
Unified Communications Manager Administration (Device > Device Settings > Common Phone
Profile). You can use the search fields in conjunction with the Find button to find all configured
common phone profiles and their current settings.
• Calling Search Space: From the drop-down list box, choose the appropriate calling search space
(CSS). A calling search space comprises a collection of partitions (analogous to a collection of
available phone books) that are searched to determine how a dialed number should be routed. The
calling search space for the device and the calling search space for the directory number get used
together. The directory number CSS takes precedence over the device CSS.
Calling Search Spaces are defined on the Calling Search Space Configuration window of Cisco
Unified Communications Manager Administration (Calling routing > Class of Control > Calling
Search Space). You can use the search fields in conjunction with the Find button to find all configured
Calling Search Spaces and their current settings.
• Location: Choose the appropriate location for this Cisco Unified IP Phone.
• Owner User ID: From the drop-down menu, choose the user ID of the assigned phone user.
