Smart Add Phone

To access the latest documentation, go to Documentation and Resources at: https://voss.portalshape.com

The Smart Add Phone feature provides an easy way to add a phone only to a site hierarchy node by selecting the Phone Template that matches the required Phone Product. This selected Phone Template then also adds associated default attribute values. Optionally, you can also choose to add one or more lines and a non-default Phone Button Template for the phone.

When a phone is added using the Smart Add Phone feature, the phone details that were added by the phone template can be seen and modified if needed by selecting the phone from Subscriber Management > Phones.

If you need a customized Phone Template, the default template can be cloned, renamed and modified from Customizations > Configuration Templates. This customization is then available in the Phone Template drop-down of the Smart Add Phone feature.

The line defaults are obtained from the Site Defaults doc for the site. The Default CUCM Line Partition must be set as the partition for the site.

Note

A cloned, custom phone template requires further customization in order to customize the line settings when it is used with the Smart Add Phone feature. For details, refer to the topic on Custom Line Settings for Smart Add Phone Configuration Template in the Advanced Configuration Guide.

Using Smart Add Phone

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

  1. Log in as an administrator.

  2. Choose Subscriber Management > Smart Add Phone. A pop-up window opens to navigate to the site at which the phone is to be added.

  3. Choose the Phone Template value that matches the phone to add. The Phone Product and Protocol values are input automatically and become read-only.

  4. 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.

  5. Based on the selected phone template, the Device Name prefix is added for the phone. Complete the device name.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

Enhanced INI Filtering

If the Enhanced INI Filtering feature is enabled, administrators have access to the Inventory Filter dropdown list menu for lines on the following forms:

The filter would typically be used to show a filtered, shorter dropdown list of directory numbers.

Note

If the Internal Number Inventory (INI) feature is not enabled, Enhanced INI Filtering will not be applied and all the list of numbers are obtained from the device.

The following options are available in the Inventory Filter list:
