Softkey Template and Phone Button Template
The Softkey Template controls what softkey button functions are available to the user;
these are typically used for feature access (Conference, Transfer, Park, Extension Mobility,
and so on). Seven softkey templates are available by default, and you can create as many
more as your design requires.
The Phone Button Template defines the behavior of the buttons to the right of the phone
screen (for most models). Eighty (or more) are defined by default, because there are
unique templates for each supported phone type—and for most phones, a separate tem-
plate for SCCP and SIP. The default templates typically provide two lines and as many
speed dials as there are remaining buttons on a particular phone model; you can add and
customize the templates to assign each button one of many different functions.
Profiles
Profiles allow for a one-time configuration of repetitive tasks; several types of profiles ex-
ist, and you can create many versions of each type to be applied to phones as needed.
Phone Security Profile
A default Phone Security Profile exists for each type of phone/protocol. These default
profiles have security disabled; you can choose to configure the device as secured, set en-
crypted TFTP configuration files, and modify Certificate Authority Proxy settings.
Common Phone Profile
The Common Phone Profile includes settings that control the behavior of the phone, in-
cluding the following:
DND settings
■
Phone personalization capabilities
■
VPN settings
■
USB port behavior
■
Video capabilities
■
Power-save options
■
Adding Phones in CUCM
Phones can be added to CUCM in four ways:
Manual Configuration:
The administrator creates a new phone, configuring all set-
tings in real time on the Phone Configuration page.
■
Autoregistration:
The administrator configures CUCM to dynamically configure
and add to the database any new IP Phone that connects to the network.
