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
and Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide for more information.
The number of buttons and features that you can customize varies based upon Cisco Unified IP Phone
model. Familiarize yourself with the configuration options described in
Table 5-2.
