Bulk Line Configuration

Avatar
Ashley Roney

Using Bulk Line Configuration, you can import (upload) a CSV file to quickly set up the lines on an IP phone, or export (download) the current line configuration.

If you need to configure multiple IP phones in basically the same way, you can use a single CSV file with the standard configuration and upload it to each device. When necessary, you can make minor changes to the CSV file to give a user a unique setup. It’s an easy way to configure multiple IP phones quickly and easily.

To configure lines in bulk:

  1. Go to either:
    • Account > Business Cloud > Users > Devices tab
    • Account > Business Cloud > Devices
  2. Locate the device you want to manage and click Edit on the right.
  3. Under Device Line Info, expand Bulk Line Configuration.
    • Export: Download a CSV file of the current configuration.
    • Import: Upload a CSV file with a new configuration. The file must follow the format below.
