Configure Device Pools

Device pools define sets of common characteristics for devices. The device pool structure supports the separation of user and location information. The device pool contains system, device, and location-related information.

After adding a new device pool, you can use it to configure devices such as Cisco Unified IP Phones, gateways, conference bridges, transcoders, media termination points, voice-mail ports, CTI route points, and so on.

Perform these steps:

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

  2. If you’re logged in as:

    • Provider or reseller administrator: Go to Apps Management > CUCM > Device Pools.
    • Customer administrator: Go to Apps Management > Advanced > CUCM > Device Pools.
  3. Do you want to …

    • Add a new device pool? Click Add. On the dialog, choose the network device list (NDL) where you’re adding the device pool; then, click OK.

      Note

      The dialog to choose a NDL does not display if you’re adding the device pool instance to to site hierarchy node (you won’t need to choose a NDL). In this case, you will add the device pool using the NDL associated with the site.

    • Edit an existing device pool? Click the line item in the table. Go to step 4.

  4. Click through the following tabs to complete at least the mandatory details:

    • Device Pool Settings tab

    • Connected Party Settings tab
    • Redirecting Party Settings tab
  5. Click Save. The route partition appears in the device pool list.

    To modify any of these properties, make your changes and click Save.

    To delete a device pool, select the check box adjacent to the Name column in the group list, and click Delete.
