BAT user template field descriptions

The following table provides descriptions of all possible fields that appear after you add a BAT user template.

In the BAT user interface, field names that have an asterisk require an entry. Treat fields that do not have an asterisk as optional.

Table 1 Field descriptions for a user template in BAT

Field	Description

Default Password to User ID	Check this check box if you want to make the user ID the default password for all users.

SUBSCRIBE Calling Search Space	All calling search spaces that you configure in Unified CM Administration appear in the SUBSCRIBE Calling Search Space drop-down list. The SUBSCRIBE Calling Search Space determines how Unified CM routes the Presence subscription requests that come from the end user. To configure a calling search space specifically for this purpose, you configure a calling search space as you do all calling search spaces (Call Routing > Class Control > Calling Search Space). For information about how to configure a calling search space, see the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide.
Allow Control of Device from CTI	Check this check box to allow CTI to control and monitor this device. If the associated directory number specifies a shared line, you should enable this check box as long as at least one associated device specifies a combination of device type and protocol that CTI supports.
EMCC Enabled	Check this check box to enable the EMCC service.
Access Control Group	From the drop-down list, choose the access control group to which the user belongs.
Digest Credentials	When you configure digest authentication for phones that are running SIP, Unified CM challenges the identity of the phone every time that the phone sends a SIP request to Unified CM. The digest credentials that you enter in this field get associated with the phone when you choose a digest user in the Phone Configuration window. Enter a string of up to 128 alphanumeric characters. For information about digest authentication, see the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide.
Confirm Digest Credentials	To confirm that you entered the digest credentials correctly, re-enter the credentials in this field.

Note    You must install a Unified CM IM and Presence node along with this Unified CM cluster.
