11.4.1 Adding Handset Preference Group Options to Handset
Templates
A Handset Template is a combination of a Programmable Function Key (PFK) setup
and Handset Preference Group options. When a new phone is added, the “Active”
Handset Template for its model (9212, 9224, etc.) is automatically applied.
To incorporate a Handset Preference Group into a new Handset Template:
1. Navigate to Phone System > Handsets > View of an existing handset. The
View Configuration page displays.
2. Locate the Handset Preference Group, click the Modify link to choose a
Handset Preference Group from the drop-down menu, and click Update.
3. Locate the Programmable Functions Keys section, click the Modify link to
configure the PFKs, and click Update.
4. Click Save in the Template Options section, enter a new name in the
description field, and click OK. Refer to Handset Templates, on page 89 for
more information on creating and using Handset Templates.

11.4.2 Assigning Handsets to Handset Preference Groups
Handsets can be assigned to Handset Preference Groups in several different ways.
When new handsets are added, they are automatically assigned to the Handset
Preference Group in the active Handset Template. Therefore, if the factory default
phone options are not appropriate for the site, save time by creating a custom Handset
Preference Group and incorporating it into a new Active phone template before adding
the site’s handsets.
When using the Bulk Edit controls on the Handsets page, assign multiple handsets to
Handset Preference Groups at once:
1. Navigate to Phone Systems > Handsets. The Handset information page
displays.
2. Go to the SIP Handsets section, and click the + next to Bulk Edit. The Bulk
Edit options display on the page.
