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

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.
