<div>I would expect for the key word to be "basic".</div>
<div>Phone registration is just that - a phone registered to UCM or UCME. I would expect all of the phone configuration to be manipulated according to the lab instructions</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Basic application integration could mean simple integration between UCM and UCCX or UCM to Unity connection - again the rest of the actual configuration would be done as per the lab</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Basic dial plan - I would expect that there may be some items configured, but not a great deal. Certainly not to the point of anywhere near a complete dial plan. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>With all of that "basic pre-configuration" comes the troubleshooting. Just because something is pre-configured does not mean it is totally correct. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>All of the above is opinion and not based upon any special knowledge or psychic capability:-)</div>

<br>The statement, " This blueprint introduces pre-configurations of basic<br>tasks (such as phone registration, basic application integration,<br>basic dial plan, etc.), in order to devote additional focus on expert<br>
