Copy BLF SD Settings Across Phones

[darren.reeves]

I provide support for an office environment which has 3 Cisco 8851 phones with sidecars that seem to constantly require updating. This is a very manual process, as each time an employee changes his or her phone extension, or there is employee turnover, all three phones require the names be manually alphabetized. I thought I would be able to use a Phone Button Template from one phone and apply it to the other two phones, but it does not copy the speed dial settings. Is there a way to make this less of a manual process for the person updating the sidecar listings?

You can use BAT to export all the configuration and import it to apply to the other phones.

How would I go about doing that for the one 8851 phone and applying it to the other two 8851 phones without applying it to any other phones?

I'd suggest you create a test phone and try it before doing this with the production phones

That video was fantastic. Thank you so much for your assistance. Everything I wanted! Took a 60 minute process to a 5 minute process. I really appreciate it.
