Device Swap

Using the Device Swap Feature

The Device Swap tool provides the ability swap configurations between most phone and device profile models. This tool is very useful when you need to replace a user’s phone or profile with the same or different model. Device swap will provision the new device, copy all applicable settings, apply device ownership and associated the new device with the user. The tool also provides the option to delete the old device upon successful completion of the swap. This feature can be equally as useful when adding a new device to a user as it will copy over pertinent settings and perform all proper associations.

*Swapping some newer phone models to older phone models may result in errors due to model incompatibility between the Max Call & Busy Trigger.

*Phone Swap supports Intercom lines, but the Intercom Line will always be removed from the source phone prior to the swap due to CUCM inability to support hared Intercom Lines.

*If the target device does not support the same number of lines or speed dials, they will show up as unassociated.
