Chapter 43 Cisco Unified IP Phones
Phone Button Templates
Default Phone Button Templates
Although all Cisco Unified IP Phones support similar features, you implement these features differently
on various models. For example, some models configure features such as Hold or Transfer by using
phone button templates; other models have fixed buttons or onscreen program keys for these features that
are not configurable. Also, the maximum number of lines or speed dials that are supported differs for
some phone models. These differences require different phone button templates for specific models.
Each Cisco Unified IP Phone model comes with a default phone button template. You can use the default
templates as is to quickly configure phones. You can also copy and modify the templates to create custom
templates.
Custom templates enable you to make features available on some or all phones, restrict the use of certain
features to certain phones, configure a different number of lines or speed dials for some or all phones,
and so on, depending on how the phone will be used. For example, you may want to create a custom
template that can be applied to phones that will be used in conference rooms. Table 43-2 provides
descriptions of the standard phone button templates.
