Line Template on Cisco UCM - How to use?

[GuestAdmin]

Hello All,

I am new to Cisco Voice world and currently have received a request to setup templates on Cisco UCM for Phones. I have created a template under Bulk Administration -> Phones -> Phone Template for Cisco 7945 model with the settings I need. Once the setting was saved, I modified the configuration of Line [1] and configured the base parameters like forwarding no answer for internal, external, etc that I want to use as the base configuration for the users.

Now, when I am creating a Phone using the BAT Phone template under Device -> Phone -> Add New, it is importing all the configurations from the Phone Template for Cisco 7945 I created, however when I look under the Line [1], all the fields have been blanked out. I am not able to figure out how to retrieve the configuration of the line within the user.

Thank you for your assistance

BAT is for bulk importing. If you are adding just a single phone it does not touch the BAT tool. And there is not a line template. Only phone and softkey. So either you will have to import the phone through the BAT tool or just setup each line itself. If you are doing a lot of phones then use the BAT tool. If not, its probably easier to just do it on a per phone basis.
