Line Attribute Updates for Devices and User Device Profiles

This chapter provides information to use a query to update lines for devices and User Device Profiles.

Device and UDP Line Updates

You can use a query to update lines for devices and User Device Profiles. To update line attributes for a specific group of devices or user device profiles, use the Update Lines option. Lines for a phone and a user device profile get updated at the same time when both are part of the query result.


Tip

When a phone is deleted from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database, the directory number remains in the database. To manage these orphan directory numbers, you can use the Update Lines option to search for unassigned directory numbers and delete or update these directory numbers.
