Configuration Mapping for Phones, DeviceProfiles, and Lines

Configuration mapping is available for higher level administrators as a part of the overall configuration as well as for other purposes.

The table describes the purpose of configuration mapping:

Type Purpose
For phones and device profiles
  • Define the phones types available for selection.
  • Define the configuration settings used when a specific phone type is selected.
  • Allow multiple configurations, for example, different button templates for the same phone type.
  • Provide business-friendly names for different phone type configurations, rather than CUCM-defined names. For example: “Executive Phone with 2 lines”.
  • Make use of phone-type-agnostic configuration templates (CFTs), allowing for the management of fewer CFTs in the system rather than a CFT for each phone type.
For lines, phones and device Define a set of feature templates for use by lower-level
profiles administrators, and customize the configuration of the applicable item. This allows you to have different versions of configuration, as required.
For soft phones (specifically) Provide CFTs to manage the process of moving the soft phones of subscribers.
