BAT - Add a specific service to a button

[rcrumm_2]

Hello,

I need to BAT in a service on a  large number of phones. If button #4 was a serviceURL button how can I BAT in a particular service?

Thanks,

Randall

Hi Randall

You have to do these steps for each Device Type you're using. As always you should do this on a test phone befor doing it on all devices.

1. Create a Phone Button Temlpate which matches your needs.

You can do this under: Device -> Device Settings -> Phone Button Template

2. Create a Phone Template which has the correct Service assigned.

You can do this under: Bulk Administration -> Phones -> Phone Template

You could also fully configure the phone which can make adding new phone much more easy.

3. Create a Bulk Job which assigns the Phone Button Template and the Services from the Phone Template
Be sure to have ticked the following fields:

Device Information
- Phone Button Template

Assign IP Phone Serices

- Add all services from this template

- Remove Duplicate

Thanks!

I figured it out shortly afterwards. On the template I added SURL to the button and then specified the service.

That worked for me.

This only works if all of your phones share a common configuration, correct?

I.e., Take two 7965's for example, where one phone has a PBT of 1 Line 5 Speed and then other is 2 Line 4 Speed.   You would have to have two phone templates and two different BAT jobs.  One with a new PBT of 1 Line 1 SURL 3 Speed and one with 2 Line 1 SURL 2 Speed.

That's just one small example.  What if you had the new fancy Invididual PBT on your phones?  Now you have no idea what to "reset" the PBT to.
