To synchronize with Microsoft Outlook, users must install the TABSynch utility, which is provided by
you. To obtain the TABSynch software to distribute to users, choose

Modifying Phone Button Templates
Phone button templates let you assign speed dials and call-handling features to programmable line
buttons. Call-handling features that can be assigned to buttons include call forward, hold, and
conference.
Ideally, you modify templates before registering phones on the network. In this way, you can access
customized phone button template options from Cisco Unified Communications Manager during
registration.
To modify a phone button template, choose
Device > Device Settings > Phone Button Template
from
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. To assign a phone button template to a phone,
use the Phone Button Template field in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration
Phone configuration window. Refer to
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide
and
Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide
for more information.
