Overbuild Site Defaults: Overview¶
Important
System Integrator Support Recommended - For all Managed Services: Day 2 Overbuild Projects, we recommend support from a System Integrator.
While Customers and Sites have access to Site Defaults under the Site Management menu, the Overbuild Defaults tab is only visible to Provider and Reseller Administrators.
The settings on the Overbuild Defaults tab of Site Defaults determine if and how imported objects are moved to the site hierarchy during an Overbuild process.
The settings on this tab work as follows:
Include Site for Overbuild: If selected, the site is included in the Overbuild and all the settings on the Site Defaults tabs apply.
The list of defaults when the menu Site Management > Defaults is selected, show “true” in the Include Site for Overbuild column.
Create Internal Number Inventory at Customer: If clear, the internal number inventory is created at site level only. If selected, the internal number inventory is created at customer level only, and will be used by all sites belonging to that customer, default = cleared.
Caution
If Overbuild has already been run for a site and the Internal Number Inventory has been created for the Site, if the option ‘Create Internal Number Inventory at Customer’ is enabled and Overbuild is run for the same Site, then a duplicate set of Internal Number Inventory will be created at the Customer. The same applies if the ‘Create Internal Number Inventory at Customer’ is enabled when Overbuild is run for the Site, if it is then disabled and Overbuild is run again, a duplicate set of Internal Number Inventory will be created at the Site.
Additional Device Pools: By default, if a site is included for the Overbuild process, the Default CUCM Device Pool on the General Defaults tab has to match the Device Pool of the phones that have been imported in order for these and their related objects to be moved to the site at which the Site Defaults Doc exists. The Run Overbuild tool uses the Device Pool in order to determine which devices and models are to be moved to the site where the site defaults are defined.
However, additional Device Pools can be added, so that more than one Device Pool from those of the imported phones can be moved to the same site. Additional Device Pools are selected from the Device Pool Name drop-down list as instances of the Additional Device Pools group control.
The names of the additional Device Pools can be renamed to the Default Device Pool name as entered on the General Defaults tab if the Replace with Default Device Pool box is selected.
Overbuild Device Control:
Move All Devices: If selected, all matching and related imported devices are moved to the site.
Limit Moved Devices: If selected, check boxes appear for selecting devices to import to the site. This corresponds with the controls and logic on the Run Overbuild interface. For details on the interdependency and available options when check boxes are selected, see Run Overbuild: Overview.
