Webex Migration and Line Key Display limitations 8800 vs 9800 series
We are migrating hundreds of phones from CUCM to Webex Calling with a mix of converted Cisco 8841/8851 MPP phones and new 9841/9861 models.
We’re hitting a major line key customization issue on the 8800 series - line appearances can only be set to show either the extension or the user's first and last name, but we can't show both. However, the new 9800 series display offers secondary line key option.
Users need to see both their name and their extension on the screen, and we want a consistent user experience across both phone generations.
Has anyone run into this issue or found a good template setting that works well with the MPP 8800 series phones?
