[cisco-voip] FW: Replace Phone EASILY

[Matthew Ballard]

Just FYI, there is one other caveat to SuperCopy, although the system does warn you about this when you do the Super Copy.  There are some settings (I believe Intercom is the only one that I've encountered) that cannot be identical on two different phones simultaneously, so if you Super Copy a phone with those settings, it will Super Copy, but any settings specific to that will be erased (the line will still be there, just with no settings).

I was thinking super copy too...Just because we usually keep the first phone intact unless it's dead. The only gotcha I have run into with that, so far is that it will lose the user/device association, so that has to be done manually. ..

But changing the mac is definitely the easiest!

Or exactly what Pavan said if you don't want to keep the first phone record intact.

Click "Super Copy" on the far right of the Device Information row of the device search page. It is a page icon with a green plus. Once you click this button you will be prompted for the new phone mac address. Enter that and you now have an exact copy of the phone with all line settings preserved.

I have a 7942, which is part of a hunt group, call pickup group, all that stuff.  I want to swap it out for a new 7942 (the old one's buttons are getting non-responsive).  What's the easiest way to do this, preserving all the configuration of the old phone so it migrates easily over to the new one?  I want the user, phone lines, alerting text, pickup groups, all that to move right over to the new phone.
Last time I tried this I spent about 3 hours reconfiguring the new phone with things I had missed in the swap out.

Thanks.
