BAT phone templates

Use BAT phone templates to define the common phone attributes to add a group of new phones. Prior to

creating the template, make sure phone settings such as device pool, location, calling search space, button

template and softkey templates have already been configured in Cisco Unified Communications Manager

Administration. You cannot create new settings in BAT.

Find BAT phone template

Because you might have several phone templates, Cisco Unified Communications Manager lets you locate

specific phone templates on the basis of criteria that you define.
