CME Phone Name Change

Cisco CME CLI Commands to change a phones caller ID name and display label.

• find the dn-tag: sh voice register pool telephone-number xxxx
• enter configuration mode: voice register dn xx, enter name and label
• send changes to the tftp file, and reset the phone for those changes to take effect.

PBX_RTR#

To delete a name or label, use the 'no' form of the command, or change it to the telephone number.

Directory

To list all the configured phones, and if they are registered, use the command:show voice register pool all brief

Print all phone dn-tags (and numbers) with:sh voice register dn all, and paste into a text editor; it's then easier to search.
As the list can be quite long, optionally turn off paging with:terminal length 0. To restore:term no len 0 or term len 24.

dn-tag = Unique sequence number that identifies this phone during configuration
number = telephone or extension number associated with a SIP phone dn-tag

CME_RTR(config)# voice register dn 1                             ← the phones dn-tag
CME_RTR(config-register-dn)# number 2001                         ← extension number
