Subscriber Template Overview

When you create subscriber accounts in Cisco Unity, you can base each account on a subscriber template. Subscriber templates contain settings that are applicable for most subscribers of a particular type (such as a department).

Basing new subscriber accounts on a template minimizes the number of settings that must be modified on individual subscriber accounts, making the job of creating subscribers easier. It is important to note that changes to settings in a template do not affect any existing subscriber accounts that were based on that template, Thus, you cannot use a template to modify subscriber accounts after you create them. See the "Modifying Subscriber Accounts" section on page 21-20 for information on modifying subscriber accounts after they have been created.

Predefined Templates

Cisco Unity comes with the following predefined subscriber templates:

{Default Subscriber} Template—The settings on this template are suitable for most subscribers.

{Default Administrator} Template—The Class of Service setting on this template assigns subscribers to the {Default Administrator} class of service, which gives subscribers access to the Cisco Unity Administrator.

{Default Bridge Subscriber} Template—The settings on this template are suitable for Cisco Unity Bridge subscribers. For more information about Bridge subscribers, see the applicable Networking Guide for Cisco Unity Bridge, at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/products_feature_guides_list.html.
