Simphone BAT Tool Usage
Unified CM's BAT tool can be used to automatically create and add line DNs to 
your simphone devices, in lieu of the procedures above. This is a solid approach 
to consider if the number of simphones you need to create is large.   
To do this, you must first import the comma-separated template from the RSM 
installation CD, and then edit it, as applicable, in a spreadsheet application such 
as Microsoft Excel. Registered Cisco.com users with valid service contracts can 
download the file via
To use the simphone BAT tool: 
Step 1
Import the spreadsheet template file from the RSM installation CD, located in the 
extras\rsmsimphones.csv directory, or download it as described above. 
Step 2
Open the file in a spreadsheet application, then add or remove rows in the file to 
match the number of simphone devices you need to create (default rows = 75). 
Step 3
If adding new rows, be sure to modify the data in the Device Name and Directory 
Number 1 columns to increment sequentially from the previous row in the list for 
the columns (e.g., 00005E000001, 00005E000002, 00005E000003, etc., for the 
simphone MAC addresses, and 5040, 5041, 5042, etc., for the line DNs).
Step 4
Verify that the Device PoolPartition 1Line CSS 1 and Monitoring Calling 
Search Space 1 settings are correct for your environment (refer to Tables 3-1 and
