# Copying Key Assignments

The Multiline Set Keys form allows you to copy key assignments from one multiline set to one or more other multiline sets.

NOTE: Copying keys overwrites any existing key assignments on the destination set.

You cannot copy User Speedcall and User Speedcall - Private keys. If speed call keys are required, program them as CDE Speedcall keys.

If a Single Line type key must be copied, select "Multicall" or "Key System" from the list (see procedure below). The Single Line key will be changed to the chosen line type when it is copied. When a copy operation is attempted for a Single Line type, an error is generated.

The number of programmable keys varies according to the type of set. Keys from one set can only be copied to keys that correspond to the same button number on another set. For example you can select keys 2, 3, and 4 on a 5020 IP Phone (14 keys) and copy them to a 5140 IP Phone (9 keys) and a 5010 IP Phone (7 keys). You cannot copy button 10 from a 5020 IP Phone to a 5010 IP Phone.

## Before You Begin

Ensure that the database on the network elements you are copying from and to is not being used by another application.

## Copying Key Assignments

In the Multiline Set Keys form

1. Select the directory number to copy keys from, and then click Copy Keys. The Copy Keys Multi-Record Editing form opens.

2. Enter the directory numbers to copy keys to. You can enter numbers as a range and/or comma-separated values (for example: 1000,1003,1005-1010). The source DN can be included as one of the DNs to copy keys to.

3. Check the boxes for the keys you want to copy.

4. Make any necessary changes to the content in the Copy window.

5. Click Copy.

TIP: To program the source DN and the destination DNs in one step, include the source DN as a destination DN. This way, any changes you make to the key assignments will be copied to the source DN as well. For example:

- Click Copy Keys for DN 1000 (all keys currently set to Not Assigned).

- Set the destination DN range as 1000-1010.

- Set button 2 as DND and button 3 as Make Busy.

- Click Copy. (All DNs in the destination range are programmed with the new key assignments.)
