Chapter 91 Cisco Unified IP Phone Configuration
Migrating Existing Phone Configuration to a Different Phone
• Before you migrate the phone configuration to a new phone, ensure that the phones are unplugged
from the network. After you perform the migration tasks, you can plug the new phone into the
network and register the device.
• Before you migrate the phone configuration to a new phone, ensure that you have enough device
license units for the new phone.
Tip If you want to migrate the configuration for multiple phones, use the Bulk Administration Tool; for
information on how to perform this task, refer to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bulk
Administration Guide.
