Personal Address Book and Personal Fast Dials. The Cisco IP Phone Address
Book Synchronizer allows users to synchronize Microsoft Outlook and Outlook
Express address book entries with the directory in Cisco CallManager. From a

Modifying Phone Button Templates

Although the Cisco IP Phone models 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 CallManager Administration during registration.
To modify a phone button template, choose Device > Device Settings> Phone
Button Template from Cisco CallManager Administration. To assign a phone
button template to a phone, use the Phone Button template field in the
Cisco CallManager Administration Phone Configuration page. Refer to
Cisco CallManager Administration Guide and Cisco CallManager System Guide
for more information.
The number of buttons and features that you can customize varies based upon
Cisco IP Phone model. Familiarize yourself with the configuration options
described in Table 5-2.
