Add a Self-Provisioning Universal Device Template

When the administrator or user self-provisions a phone, Cisco Unified Communications Manager deletes the autoregistered phone and adds the phone back into the database. The Universal Device Template (UDT) for the user’s profile determines the various phone settings for the user’s phone.

Procedure

  1. Log in as provider, reseller, or customer administrator.

  2. Set the hierarchy path to the site node where you want to configure self-provisioning.

  3. Choose User Management > Self-Provisioning > Universal Device Template.

  4. Click Add.

  5. Enter the following required UDT information.

    Field Description
    Name Enter the name of the UDT.
    Location Use locations to implement call admission control (CAC) in a centralized call-processing system. CAC regulates audio quality and video availability by limiting the amount of bandwidth for audio and video calls over links between locations. The location specifies the total bandwidth that is available for calls to and from this location.
    Common Phone Profile Choose a common phone profile.
    Phone Personalization Enable this setting to allow the UDT to work with Phone Designer, a Unified Communications widget. The widget lets a user customize the wallpaper and ringtones on a device.
    Busy Trigger This setting, which works with Maximum Number of Calls and Call Forward Busy, determines the maximum number of calls to be presented at the line. If the busy trigger is set to 40, incoming call 41 is rejected with a busy cause (and is forwarded if Call Forward Busy is set). If this line is shared, all the lines must be busy before incoming calls are rejected.
    Max Number Of Calls You can configure up to 200 calls for a line on a device. As you configure the number of calls for one line, the number calls that are available for another line decreases.
    MultiLevel Precedence and Preemption This setting specifies whether a device that can preempt calls in progress uses the capability when it places an MLPP precedence call.
    Do Not Disturb Option When you enable DND on the phone, this parameter allows you to specify how the DND features handle incoming calls.
    Blf Presence Group Enter the presence group applicable for busy lamp field buttons.
    Device Mobility Mode Turn the device mobility feature on or off for this device or choose Default to use the default device mobility mode. Default setting uses the value for the Device Mobility Mode service parameter for the device.

    The following fields can be prepopulated, depending on customer, site, and dial plan configuration:

    • Name
    • Location
    • Common Phone Profile
    • BLF Presence Group

  6. Enter the following optional, but highly recommended information. These fields can be prepopulated, depending on customer, site, and dial plan configuration.

    Field Description
    Device Pool Enter a site-specific device pool.
    Owner User ID The userid of the user associated with the phone. The recommended is Current Device Owner’s User ID.

  7. Enter other optional settings, if applicable.

  8. Click Save.
