Common Device Configuration Settings

In Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, use the Device > Device Settings > Common Device Configuration menu path to configure common device configurations.

A common device configuration comprises user-specific service and feature attributes. Ensure that each device is associated with a common device configuration for user-oriented information.

Tips About Deleting Common Device Configurations

You cannot delete a common device configuration that a device uses. To find out which devices are using the common device configuration, click the Dependency Records link from the Common Device Configuration window. If the dependency records are not enabled for the system, the dependency records summary window displays a message. For more information about dependency records, see the "Accessing Dependency Records" section on page A-2. If you try to delete a common device configuration that is in use, Cisco Unified Communications Manager displays a message. Before deleting a common device configuration that is currently in use, you must perform either or both of the following tasks:

•Assign a different common device configuration to any devices that are using the common device configuration that you want to delete.

•Delete the devices that are using the common device configuration that you want to delete.

Using the GUI

For instructions on how to use the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Graphical User Interface (GUI) to find, delete, configure, or copy records, see the "Navigating the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Application" section on page 1-13 and its subsections, which explain how to use the GUI and detail the functions of the buttons and icons.

Configuration Settings Table

Table 77-1 describes the common device configuration settings. For more information about related procedures, see the "Related Topics" section.

Table 77-1 Common Device Configuration Settings 

Field	Description
Common Device Configuration Information
Name	Enter a name to identify the common device configuration.
Softkey Template	From the drop-down list box, choose the softkey template for the common device configuration.
User Hold MOH Audio Source	Choose the audio source to use for MOH when a user initiates a hold action.
Network Hold MOH Audio Source	Choose the audio source to use for music on hold (MOH) when the network initiates a hold action.
User Locale	From the drop-down list box, choose the locale for the common device configuration. The user locale identifies a set of detailed information to support users, including language and font. Note If the user does not choose a user locale, the locale that is specified in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager clusterwide parameters as Default User Locale applies.
IP Addressing Mode	Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 5000 does not support IPv6, so this setting does not apply to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 5000.
IP Addressing Mode Preference for Signaling	Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 5000 does not support IPv6, so this setting does not apply to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 5000.
Allow Auto-Configuration for Phones	Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 5000 does not support IPv6, so this setting does not apply to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 5000.
Use Trusted Relay Point	Check this check box to enable the devices that associate with this common device configuration to use a trusted relay point. A Trusted Relay Point (TRP) device designates an MTP or transcoder device that is labeled as Trusted Relay Point. Cisco Unified Communications Manager inserts a TRP for an endpoint if the Use Trusted Relay Point check box is checked for the endpoint or for the common device configuration with which the endpoint associates. The endpoint device can comprise any device that terminates media, including SIP, H.323, MGCP, and SCCP devices, such as phones that are running SCCP, CTI devices, MoH servers, annunciators, and conference bridges. If the Use Trusted Relay Point setting of a device specifies On or Off, the device setting overrides the Use Trusted Relay Point setting from the common device configuration with which the device associates. Cisco Unified Communications Manager places the TRP closest to the associated endpoint device if more than one resource is needed for the endpoint (for example, a transcoder or RSVPAgent). If both TRP and MTP are required for the endpoint, TRP gets used as the required MTP. See the "TRP Insertion in Cisco Unified Communications Manager" in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide for details of call behavior. If both TRP and RSVPAgent are needed for the endpoint, Cisco Unified Communications Manager first tries to find an RSVPAgent that can also be used as a TRP. If both TRP and transcoder are needed for the endpoint, Cisco Unified Communications Manager first tries to find a transcoder that is also designated as a TRP. See the "Trusted Relay Point" section and its subtopics in the Media Resource Management chapter of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide for a complete discussion of network virtualization and trusted relay points.
Use Intercompany Media Engine (IME) for Outbound Calls	Use this drop-down list box to disable or enable Cisco IME for devices that associate with this common device configuration. Indicate whether you want to allow the devices to make calls using the Cisco Intercompany Media Engine feature. Choose one of the following options from the drop-down list box: •On—Allow devices to make Cisco Intercompany Media Engine calls. •Off—Do not allow devices to make Cisco Intercompany Media Engine calls. •Default—To use the value of the Use IME for Outbound Calls feature configuration parameter (Advanced Features > Intercompany Media Services > Feature Configuration), choose this option. To associate a device with a common device configuration, configure the Common Device Configuration setting for the device, such as a Cisco Unified IP Phone. For more information on Cisco Intercompany Media Engine, see the Cisco Intercompany Media Engine Installation and Configuration Guide.
Multilevel Precedence and Preemption Information
MLPP Indication	This setting specifies whether devices that are capable of playing precedence tones will use the capability when the devices place an MLPP precedence call. From the drop-down list box, choose a setting to assign to the devices from the following options: •Default—Devices inherit MLPP Indication settings from the MLPP Indication Status enterprise parameter. •Off—Devices do not handle nor process indication of an MLPP precedence call. •On—Devices do handle and process indication of an MLPP precedence call. Note Do not configure the following combination of settings: MLPP Indication is set to Off or Default (when default is Off) while MLPP Preemption is set to Forceful. Note Turning on MLPP Indication (at the enterprise parameter or device level) disables normal Ring Setting behavior for the lines on a device, unless MLPP Indication is turned off (overridden) for the device.
MLPP Preemption	This setting specifies whether devices that are capable of preempting calls in progress will use the capability when the devices place an MLPP precedence call. From the drop-down list box, choose a setting to assign to the devices from the following options: •Default—Devices inherit MLPP Preemption settings from the MLPP Preemption Setting enterprise parameter. •Disabled—Devices do not allow preemption of lower precedence calls to take place when necessary for completion of higher precedence calls. •Forceful—Devices allow preemption of lower precedence calls to take place when necessary for completion of higher precedence calls. Note Do not configure the following combination of settings: MLPP Indication is set to Off or Default (when default is Off) while MLPP Preemption is set to Forceful.
MLPP Domain	From the drop-down list box, choose an MLPP domain that is associated with this common device configuration. If you leave the <None> setting, devices inherit MLPP domains from the value set for the MLPP Domain Identifier enterprise parameter.
