Configuring Application Profiles

After you add a new user, options in the Application Profile section of the User Information window in the Cisco CallManager Administration allow you to configure the user profile. These profiles allow each user to personalize phone features, mobility, and Cisco IP SoftPhone capability.

Before you begin

Make sure the user is in the database. See the "Searching the Global Directory" section for more information.

You can create a profile for each applications that appears on the left in the Application Profile window.

To continue configuring profiles on the User Information window, click Personal Information.

Associating Devices to a User

Once you have added a user, you can associate devices over which users will have control. Users can control some devices, such as phones. Applications that are identified as users can control other devices, such as CTI ports. When users have control of a phone, they have the ability to control certain settings for that phone, such as speed dial and call forwarding.

The User Device Assignment window comprises a device filter section and a list of available devices.

Available Device List Filters

The device filter allows you to limit your list of devices by entering search criteria based on all or part of the device name, description, or directory number. To limit the list of available devices to a specific selection, enter the criteria by which you want to search using the following methods:

•Choose device name, description, or directory number.

•Choose the comparison operator.

•Enter a text or number entry.

For example, to list all extensions that begin with "5," choose "Directory Number" "begins with" and then enter 5 in the text box.

Available Devices

Once you have specified the search criteria to display devices, all available devices that match your criteria appear in the Available Devices list. The list displays in groups of 20 devices, and you can navigate it using the buttons at the bottom of the window. You can page through the device list by clicking First, Previous, Next, and Last, or you can jump to a specific page by entering the page number in the page entry box and then clicking Page.

If you are modifying the device assignment for an existing user, the devices previously assigned to that user appear in a group at the beginning of the device list.

You can associate one or more devices to the user by checking the check box next to that device. If a device has multiple extensions associated with it, each line extension appears in the list. You need to choose only one line extension to choose all the lines associated with that device.

To assign devices to a user, you must access the User Information window for that user. See the "Searching the Global Directory" section for information on accessing information on existing users.

Once the User Information window displays, perform the following procedure to assign devices.

Procedure

---

Step 1 In the Application Profiles column, click Device Association.

Step 2 You can limit the list of available devices by entering the search criteria in the Available Device List Filters section. You should specify

•The device name, description, or directory number

•The comparison operator

•A text or number entry

Then, click Select Devices.

Step 3 Check the check box of one or more devices you want to associate with the user. You can assign one primary extension from the devices to which the user is assigned by checking the radio button in the right column for that device.

Step 4 When you have completed the assignment, click Update to assign devices to a user, or you can click Personal Information to return to the User Information window, Back to user list to return to the search list, or Cancel Changes to return to the User information window.

Auto Attendant

The Automated Attendant (AA) service answers incoming calls and prompts the caller for a user name or extension. The AA scans the directory for a match to resolve the user name or extension and transfers the caller to the appropriate endpoint.

Procedure

---

Step 1 In the Application Profiles window, choose Auto Attendant.

Step 2 Enter the Auto Attendant Name Dialing (LastFirstM).

If a same name or same numerical mapping occurs, a prompt indicates a duplicate key. At this point, you can either change the user name (through nicknames or removal of middle initials) or allow duplicates.

Step 3 Click Insert.

Extension Mobility

Extension Mobility allows a user to configure a Cisco IP Phone 7940 or Cisco IP Phone 7960 to appear as the phone of that user temporarily. The user can log in to a phone, and the extension mobility profile (including line and speed-dial numbers) for the user resides on the phone. This feature applies primarily in environments where users are not permanently assigned to physical phones.

Procedure

---

Step 1 In the Application Profiles window, choose Extension Mobility.

Step 2 Choose the appropriate criteria from the drop- down menus or click Select Profiles.

A list of available profiles displays at the bottom of the window.

Step 3 Check the appropriate check box.

Step 4 Click Update.

SoftPhone

You can associate a device (line) to a user as a Cisco IP SoftPhone. This will enable the user to use their desktop PC to place and receive telephone calls and to control an IP telephone.

Include the IP Address or host name in the Associated PC field.

For more information, refer to the Cisco IP SoftPhone Administrator Guide.
