Phone Template

Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration (BAT) gives the administrator a fast and efficient way to add, update, or delete large numbers of phones in batches, rather than performing individual updates through Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. You can use BAT to work with the following types of phones:

  • Cisco Unified IP Phones (all models)

  • CTI ports

  • H.323 clients

This chapter provides information about how to use BAT to work with phone templates and other IP telephony devices.

Add Phones to Database

When you use BAT to add phones and other IP telephony devices in bulk to the Unified Communications Manager database, you can add multiple lines, services, and speed dials for each phone. You can also add CTI ports and H.323 clients.

You have two options for creating a CSV data file for phones:
  • Use the BAT spreadsheet (BAT.xlt) and export the data to the CSV format
  • Use a text editor to create a text file in CSV format (for experienced users)

Procedure

Step 1

Choose Bulk Administration > Phones > Phone Template.

The Find and List Phone Templates window displays.

Step 2

Create a CSV data file to insert the phone templates.

Perform one of the following options:

  1. Create a CSV data file using the BAT spreadsheet.

  2. Create a CSV data file using a text editor as follows:

    1. Choose Bulk Administration > Phones > Phone File Format > Create File Format.
    2. Use a text editor and create the CSV data file for phones that follows the file format that you want to use.
    3. Choose Bulk Administration > Phones > Phone File Format > Add File Format to associate the text-based file format with the CSV data file.
Step 3

Choose Bulk Administration > Phones > Validate Phones.

Step 4

Choose Bulk Administration > phones > Insert phones to insert phone records into the Unified Communications Manager database.

BAT Phone Templates

Use BAT phone templates to define the common phone attributes to add a group of new phones. Prior to creating the template, make sure phone settings such as device pool, location, calling search space, button template and softkey templates have already been configured in Unified Communications Manager Administration. You cannot create new settings in BAT.

Find BAT Phone Template

Because you might have several phone templates, Unified Communications Manager lets you locate specific phone templates on the basis of criteria that you define.


Note

Some phone models and device types do not have all the attributes that the table lists. See, the phone model documentation for information on all the attributes.
Step 7

After you have entered all the settings for this BAT phone template, click Save.

When the status indicates that the transaction has completed, you can add line attributes.

Add or Update Phone Lines in BAT Template

You can add one or more lines to the BAT template or to update existing lines. The button template in use for the BAT template determines the number of lines that you can add or update. You can create a primary phone template that has multiple lines. Then, you can use the standard template to add phones with a single line or up to the number of lines in the standard template. All phones or user device profiles in this batch will use the settings that you choose.

Cisco recommends that you use alphanumeric characters for the line template value, so if numbers are given, a chance exists of this conflicting with an actual directory number. This would also avoid conflicts with features such as Call Pickup group number and Call Park number.

The maximum number of lines that display for a BAT template depends on the model and button template that you chose when you created the BAT phone template. For some Cisco Unified IP Phone models, you can also add Cisco Unified IP Phone services and speed dials to the template.

  • Default—Unified Communications Manager uses the configuration from the Always Use Prime Line service parameter, which supports the Cisco CallManager service.

Always Use Prime Line for Voice Message

From the drop-down list, choose one of the following options:

  • On—If the phone is idle, the primary line on the phone becomes the active line for retrieving voice messages when the phone user presses the Messages button on the phone.

  • Off—If the phone is idle, pressing the Messages button on the phone automatically dials the voice-messaging system from the line that has a voice message. Unified Communications Manager always selects the first line that has a voice message. If no line has a voice message, the primary line gets used when the phone user presses the Messages button.

  • Default—Unified Communications Manager uses the configuration from the Always Use Prime Line for Voice Message service parameter, which supports the Cisco CallManager service.

Geo Location

From the drop-down list, choose a geo location.

You can choose the Unspecified geo location, which designates that this device does not associate with a geo location.

Encrypted—Unified Communications Manager provides integrity, authentication, and encryption for the phone. A TLS connection that uses AES128/SHA opens.

This field displays only if the phone model supports authentication or encryption.

Retry Video Call as Audio

This check box applies only to video endpoints that receive a call. If this phone receives a call that does not connect as video, the call tries to connect as an audio call.

By default, the system checks this check box to specify that this device should immediately retry a video call as an audio call (if it cannot connect as a video call) prior to sending the call to call control for rerouting.

If you uncheck this check box, a video call that fails to connect as video does not try to establish as an audio call. The call then fails to call control, and call control routes the call via Automatic Alternate Routing (AAR) and/or route/hunt list.

Ignore Presentation Indicators (Internal Calls Only)

Check this check box to configure call display restrictions on a call-by-call basis. When this check box is checked, Unified Communications Manager ignores any presentation restriction that is received for internal calls.

Allow Control of Device from CTI

Check this check box to allow control of all CTI controllable devices from CTI.

You can enable or disable this check box based on CTI Controllable Device Type and Device Protocol.

Note 

Cisco dual-mode devices (Jabber) such as Android, iPhone, and iPad operating in WiFi mode are monitored through CTI and not controlled. However, devices operating in GSM mode cannot be monitored or controlled.

Logged into Hunt Group

This check box, which gets checked by default for all phones, indicates that the phone is currently logged in to a hunt list (group). When the phone gets added to a hunt list, the administrator can log the user in or out by checking (and unchecking) this check box.

Users use the softkey on the phone to log their phone in or out of the hunt list.

Remote Device

If you are experiencing delayed connect times over SCCP to remote sites, check the Remote Device check box in the Phone Configuration window. Checking this check box tells Unified Communications Manager to allocate a buffer for the phone device when it registers and to bundle SCCP messages to the phone.

Because this feature consumes resources, be sure to check this check box only when you are experiencing signaling delays for phones that are running SCCP. Most users do not require this option.

Protected Device

Check this check box to designate a phone as "protected." This enables the phone to play a two-second tone notifying the user when a call is both encrypted and both phones are configured as protected devices. The tone plays for both parties when the call is answered. The tone does not play unless both phones are "protected" and the call occurs over encrypted media.

Tip 
For a detailed description of the secure-tone feature and the configuration requirements, see the Cisco Unity Connection System Administration Guide.

Hotline Device

Check this check box to make this device a Hotline device. Hotline devices can only connect to other Hotline devices. This feature is an extension of PLAR, which configures a phone to automatically dial one directory number when it goes off-hook. Hotline provides additional restrictions that you can apply to devices that use PLAR.

To implement Hotline, you must also create a softkey template without supplementary service softkeys, and apply it to the Hotline device.

Number Presentation Transformation

Caller ID for Calls from This Phone

Calling Party Transformation CSS

From the drop-down list, choose the calling search space (CSS) that contains the calling party transformation pattern that you want to apply on the calling number when this phone initiates a call.

When this phone initiates a call, Unified Communications Manager transforms the calling party using the digit transformations that are configured on the matching calling party transformation pattern. This setting allows you to transform the calling party number before Unified Communications Manager routes the call. For example, a transformation pattern can change a phone extension to an E.164 number. This setting is generally configured when users dial using a URI instead of digits. Unified Communications Manager allows calling party transformations on various patterns when users dial using digits; this setting provides similar transformation provision even when users dial using a URI.

Use Device Pool Calling Party Transformation CSS (Caller ID for Calls from This Phone)

Check this check box to use the Calling Party Transformation CSS that is configured at the device pool to which this phone belongs for transforming the calling party for calls that are initiated from this phone. At the device pool, the Calling Party Transformation CSS that is present under Phone Settings is used to transform the calling party for calls initiated from this phone.

Leave this check box unchecked to apply the Calling Party Transformation CSS setting that appears in this configuration window.

Remote Number Transformation

From the drop-down list, choose the calling search space (CSS) that contains the calling party transformation pattern that you want to apply on the remote calling number for the calls that are received on this phone.

Unified Communications Manager transforms the remote calling number using the digit transformations that are configured on the matching calling party transformation pattern before presenting it to this device.

For example, a transformation pattern can change a remote number in E.164 format to a localized version.

Use this setting to transform the remote connected number for direct calls that are initiated from this phone. Use this setting also to transform a remote connected number after you invoke the feature irrespective of the direction of the call. The transformation of the remote connected number is controlled using the service parameter “Apply Transformations on Remote Number,” present under the Advanced section of Cisco Call Manager service. For more information, refer to the description for this parameter.

Use Device Pool Calling Party Transformation CSS (Device Mobility Related Information)

Check this check box to apply the Calling Party Transformation CSS that is configured at the device pool to which this phone belongs for transforming the remote calling and remote connected number. At the device pool, the Calling Party Transformation CSS present under Device Mobility Related Information section is used to transform the remote calling and remote connected number.

BLF Presence Group

Used with the BLF Presence feature, the phone that is running SIP or SCCP serves as a watcher because it requests status about the presence entity; for example, directory number, that is configured as a BLF speed dial button on the phone.

If you want the phone to receive the status of the presence entity, choose a BLF Presence group that is allowed to view the status of the Presence group that is applied to the directory number, as indicated in the BLF Presence Group Configuration window.

SIP Dial Rules

If required, choose the appropriate SIP dial rule. SIP dial rules provide local dial plans for Cisco IP phones 7940, and 7975 that are running SIP, so users do not have to press a key or wait for a timer before the call gets processed.

Leave the SIP Dial Rules field set to <None> if you do not want dial rules applied to the IP phone that is running SIP. This means the user will have to use the Dial softkey or wait for the timer to expire before the call gets processed.

Device Security Profile

For phones that are running SCCP or SIP, choose the security profile that you want to apply to the device.

All phones require that you apply a security profile. If the phone does not support security, choose a nonsecure profile.

MTP Preferred Originating Codec

From the drop-down list, choose the codec to use if a media termination point is required for SIP calls.

Rerouting Calling Search Space

From the drop-down list, choose a calling search space to use for rerouting.

The rerouting calling search space of the referrer gets used to find the route to the refer-to target. When the Refer fails due to the rerouting calling search space, the Refer Primitive rejects the request with the "405 Method Not Allowed" message.

The redirection (3xx) primitive and transfer feature also uses the rerouting calling search space to find the redirect-to or transfer-to target.

Out-of-Dialog Refer Calling Search Space

From the drop-down list, choose an out-of-dialog refer calling search space.

Unified Communications Manager uses the out-of-dialog (OOD) Refer Authorization calling search space (CSS) to authorize the SIP out-of-dialog Refer. The administrator can restrict the use of out-of-dialog Refer by configuring the OOD CSS of the Referrer. Refer Primitive rejects the OOD Refer request with a "403 Forbidden" message.

SUBSCRIBE Calling Search Space

Used with the Presence feature, the SUBSCRIBE Calling Search Space determines how Unified Communications Manager routes the subscription requests that come from the phone. From the drop-down list, choose the calling search space that you want to use for this purpose.

SIP Profile

Choose the default SIP profile or a specific profile that was previously created. SIP profiles provide specific SIP information for the phone such as default telephony event payload type, registration and keepalive timers, media ports, Iris, and dynamic DNS server addresses.

Digest User

Used with digest authentication (SIP security), choose an end user that you want to associate with the phone.

Ensure that you configured digest credentials for the user that you choose, as specified in the End User Configuration window.

After you save the phone configuration and reset the phone, the digest credentials for the user get added to the phone configuration file.

For more information on digest authentication, refer to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide.

Media Termination Point Required

Use this field to indicate whether a media termination point is used to implement features that H.323 does not support (such as hold and transfer).

Check the Media Termination Point Required check box if you want to use an MTP to implement features. Uncheck the Media Termination Point Required check box if you do not want to use an MTP to implement features.

Use this check box only for H.323 clients and those H.323 devices that do not support the H.245 empty capabilities set or if you want media streaming to terminate through a single source.

Unattended Port

Check this check box to indicate an unattended port on this device.

Require DTMF Reception

For phones that are running SIP and SCCP, check this check box to require DTMF reception for this phone.

RFC2833 Disabled

For phones that are running SCCP, check this check box to disable RFC2833 support.

Call Forward and Pickup Settings

Forward All Voice Mail

Check this check box if you want calls to forward to the number that you chose in the voice-mail profile.

Checking this check box makes the Forward All Destination field and Forward All Calling Search Space check box not relevant.

Forward All Destination

Enter the directory number or directory URI to which all calls are forwarded.

Note 

The setting applies to any dialable phone number, including an outside destination unless restricted, and to all devices that are using this directory number.

Because Call Forwarding is a line-based feature, in cases where the device calling search space is unknown, the system uses only the line calling search space to forward the call. If the line calling search space is restrictive and not routable, the forward attempt fails.

Addition of a secondary calling search space for Call Forward All provides a solution to enable forwarding. The primary calling search space for Call Forward All and secondary calling search space for Call Forward All get concatenated (Primary CFA CSS + Secondary CFA CSS) when Call Forward All is processed. Unified Communications Manager uses this combination to validate the CFA destination and to forward the call.

Create Phone CSV Data File Using BAT Spreadsheet

Use the BAT spreadsheet to create the CSV data file. You can define the file format within the spreadsheet, and the BAT spreadsheet uses the data file formats to display the fields for the CSV data file.


Note

If you enter a comma in one of the fields, BAT.xlt encloses that field entry in double quotes when you export to BAT format.

If you enter a blank row in the BAT spreadsheet, the system treats the empty row as the end of the file and does not convert data that is entered after a blank line to the BAT format.

You can use the dummy MAC address option when adding CTI ports. This option gives a unique device name to each CTI port in the form of dummy MAC addresses that you can manually update later using the or the Unified CM Auto-Register phone Tool. Do not use the dummy MAC address option for H.323 clients, VGC phones, or VGC virtual phones.

The dummy MAC address option automatically generates dummy MAC addresses in the following format:

XXXXXXXXXXXX

where X represents any 12-character, hexadecimal (0-9 and A-F) number.


Attention

The number of lines and speed dials that you define for phones in the BAT spreadsheet must not exceed the numbers that are defined in the BAT phone template, otherwise, an error occurs when you attempt to insert the CSV data file and BAT template.

After you have finished editing all the fields in the BAT spreadsheet, you can export the content to a CSV formatted data file. A default filename is assigned to the exported CSV formatted data file:

<tabname>-<timestamp>.txt

where <tabname> represents the type of input file that you created, such as phones, and <timestamp> represents the precise date and time that the file was created.

You can rename the CSV formatted data file after you save the exported file to your local workstation.


Note

You cannot upload a CSV filename that contains a comma (for example, abcd,e.txt) to the server.

In addition, a different tone plays when a party leaves the multi-party call. If the controlling device, that is, the originator of the multi-party call has a built-in bridge, the tone gets played to all parties if you choose On for the controlling device. When the controlling device, for example, the conference controller, is no longer present on the call or if the controlling device cannot play the tone, Unified Communications Manager does not play the tone even if you choose On.
  • Off—A tone does not play on the phone when a basic call changes to a multi-party call.
