Common Phone Profile Configuration Settings
In Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, use the Device > Device Settings >
Common Phone Profile menu path to configure common phone profiles.
Common phone profiles provide data that Cisco TFTP requires. After you configure a common phone

Tips About Deleting Common Phone Profiles
To find out which devices are using the common phone profile, choose Dependency Records link from
the Related Links drop-down list box in the Common Phone Profile Configuration window. If
dependency records are not enabled for the system, the dependency records summary window displays
a message. For more information about dependency records, see the “Accessing Dependency Records”
section on page A-2.
Note You cannot delete the Standard Common Phone Profile.
Using the GUI
For instructions on how to use the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Graphical
User Interface (GUI) to find, delete, configure, or copy records, see the “Navigating the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Administration Application” section on page 1-13 and its subsections, which
explain how to use the GUI and detail the functions of the buttons and icons.

the Product Specific Configuration area to display help in a popup window.
Select the “Override Common Settings” box for any setting in Product Specific Configuration area that
you wish to update. If you do not check this box, the corresponding parameter setting does not take
effect. Parameters that you set in the Product Specific Configuration area may also appear in the Device
Configuration window for various devices and in the Enterprise Phone Configuration window. If you set
these same parameters in these other windows too, the setting that takes precedence is determined in the
following order: 1) Device Configuration window settings, 2) Common Phone Profile window settings,
3) Enterprise Phone Configuration window settings.

the Ringer Off option. For mobile devices and dual-mode phones,
you can only choose the Call Reject option. When you activate DND
Call Reject on a mobile device or dual-mode phone, no call
information gets presented to the device.

widget that allows a phone user to customize the wallpaper and ring tones on
the phone. From the Phone Personalization drop-down list box, choose one
of the following options:
• Disabled-The user cannot customize the Cisco Unified IP Phone by
using Phone Designer.
• Enabled-The user can use Phone Designer to customize the phone.
• Default-The phone uses the configuration from the Phone
Personalization enterprise parameter if you choose Default in both the
Phone Configuration and Common Phone Profile Configuration
windows. If you choose Default in the Common Phone Profile
Configuration window but not in the Phone Configuration window, the
phone uses the configuration that you specify in the Phone
Configuration window.
You must install and configure Phone Designer, so the phone user can
customize the phone. Before you install and configure Phone Designer,
identify which Cisco Unified IP Phone models work with Phone Designer,
as described in the Phone Designer documentation. For more information on
Phone Designer, see the Phone Designer documentation.
• Off—When the phone is idle and receives a call on any line, the phone
user answers the call from the line on which the call is received.
Always Use Prime Line
for Voice Message
• On—When the phone is idle (off hook) and receives a call on any line,
the primary line gets chosen for the call. Calls on other lines continue to
ring, and the phone user must select those other lines to answer these
calls.
• Default—Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses the
configuration from the Always Use Prime Line service parameter, which
supports the Cisco CallManager service.
From the drop-down list box, choose one of the following options:
• On—If the phone is idle, the primary line on the phone becomes the
active line for retrieving voice messages when the phone user presses the
Messages button on the phone.
• Off—If the phone is idle, pressing the Messages button on the phone
automatically dials the voice-messaging system from the line that has a
voice message. Cisco Unified Communications Manager always selects
the first line that has a voice message. If no line has a voice message, the
primary line gets used when the phone user presses the Messages button.
• Default—Cisco Unified Communications Manager uses the
configuration from the Always Use Prime Line for Voice Message
service parameter, which supports the Cisco CallManager service.

services:
• Internal—The phone uses the phone configuration file to support the
service.
Choose this option or Both for Cisco-provided default services where
the Service URL has not been updated; that is, the service URL indicates
Application:Cisco/<name of service>; for example,
Application:Cisco/CorporateDirectory.
Choose Internal or Both for Cisco-signed Java MIDlets because
Cisco-signed Java MIDlets are provisioned in the configuration file.
• External URL—Choosing External URL indicates that the phone
ignores the services in the phone configuration file and retrieves the
services from a Service URL.
If you configured a custom Service URL for a service, you must choose
either External URL or Both; if you choose Internal in this case, the
services that are associated with the custom URLs do not work on the
phone.
• Both—Choosing Both indicates that the phone support both the services
that are defined in the configuration file and external applications that
are retrieved from custom service URLs.
If you have phones in your network that can obtain the service
information from the phone configuration file and phones in your
network that can only use custom service URLs for obtaining the
information, choose Both.
VPN Information
VPN Group From the drop-down list, choose the VPN Group for the phone. For
information about creating VPN groups, see the Virtual Private Network
Configuration chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Security Guide.
VPN Profile From the drop-down list, choose the VPN profile for the phone. For
information about creating VPN profiles, see the Virtual Private Network
Configuration chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Security Guide.

Synchronizing Common Phone Profiles With Affected Devices
To synchronize devices with a common phone profile that has undergone configuration changes, perform
the following procedure, which applies any outstanding configuration settings in the least-intrusive
manner possible. (For example, a reset/restart may not be required on some affected devices.)
