Using Smart Add Phone
---------------------

The Smart Add Phone feature is *only available at a site hierarchy node*.

1. Log in as an administrator.
#. Choose **Subscriber Management > Smart Add Phone**. A pop-up
   window opens to navigate to the site at which the phone is
   to be added.
#. Choose the **Phone Template** value that matches the phone to add.
   The Phone Product and Protocol values are input automatically and
   become read-only.
#. Optionally choose a non-default **Phone Button Template** value for the phone,
   if one is available.
   
   You can override the default **Phone Button Template** value by entering a custom
   value in the **Phone Button Template** field. The entered value will be applied on
   Unified CM if the Unified CM allows it for that phone type.
   
#. Based on the selected phone template, the **Device Name** prefix is
   added for the phone. Complete the device name.
#. The **INI Enabled** field shows if the Internal Number Inventory is enabled for
   the site or not and the **Default Line Partition** field indicates which default
   line partition has been set in the Site Defaults doc. Optionally add one or
   more lines to associate to the phone.

   The Lines input is enabled if the default Route Partition value for the site
   has been set in the site's Site Defaults Doc.
  
   * If the **INI Enabled** is **YES**, then choose a number from the drop-down list
     of numbers from the Internal Number Inventory. Numbers that are marked
     as used, are also shown. Lines that are selected, have additional properties
     set according to the Site Defaults Doc for the site.

   * If the **INI Enabled** field is **NO**, then the list of numbers are those
     Directory Numbers on |Unified CM| with the Route Partition matching the site.
     You can choose a number from the drop-down or add a custom number that is not
     in the drop-down list, in other words, you can type in a number. Lines that
     are added have additional properties set according to the Site Defaults Doc
     for the site.
#. Click **Save**.

Choose **Subscriber Management > Phones** to see and modify the phone that is added
using the Smart Add Phone feature. Added lines are shown on the **Lines** tab of the
**Phones** input form.
