Base settings
Before you create a phone, create a Base Settings configuration for that phone model. The Base Settings configuration contains a group of settings that define how a particular phone model operates in Genesys Cloud. After you create a Base Settings configuration, assign it to a phone with the default settings or customize the settings. This section describes the settings that you can configure when you choose to customize a Base Settings configuration.
