For a mixed Polycom and Yealink environment review the differences at the bottom of this page.
In Device Profiles, you create new device profiles and manage existing ones. Each Device Profiles is a collection of 1 or more XML attributes that can then be applied to a Tag. There are two different types of device profiles: Polycom Pre-Installed Defaults and User Created Profiles. When you install EZ UDM Pro you will have the Polycom Pre-Installed Defaults available for use. The admin may choose to use them as is or modify the values to suit their needs. Note that UDM Pro supports ALL standard Polycom XML commands, which are parsed out during the firmware upload, but non-standard/user created commands are also supported.

- Add the XML attributes to direct the desired behavior on the assigned devices. XML attributes are a required element to a Device Profile
- Click Add to add a new attribute
As you start typing the attribute name a drop down will appear allowing you to select the value from a list. The attribute value will adjust to the appropriate format for the range of acceptable values. If a resource needs to be chosen, you will need to enable the "Want to add a resource toggle" and choose the appropriate resource. Note: In unusual circumstance if the attribute value cannot be entered as it is not available in the suggested values you should create the entry as XML and use that to add the attribute and value.
- Click Clipboard to paste XML attributes that you copy from a saved file or other reference. Note! Any lasted pasted XML must have valid tags. <abc... />
- Click Import to use a pre-configured file in XML format (must be in a valid XML format)
- Click Save to commit your new Device Profile, or Cancel to exit the Device Profiles – Add New dialog page
Note! If you navigate to another selection in EZ UDM Pro from the Device Profiles – Add New dialog page without saving your changes, you are warned that you are exiting the page without saving your changes. You are given the option to Cancel and return to the Device Profiles – Add New dialog or Proceed and discard the changes you have made. The same notification is displayed if you select (in the upper right corner) Cancel instead of Save to exit the page.

Tags, described in the section Tags in this guide, are used in Device Profiles to associate a profile with any Location, Device Set, Model, or Bridge. Device Profiles can also be associated with the unique Global tag.
Tags are only displayed for reference. All tag management for associations, creation, deletion, and other management of tags functions is configured in the Tags selection.
MIxed Polycom and Yealink environment
Add a Device Profile
To add a device profile, do the following:
On the Device Profiles page, click Add. When creating the profile for a mixed environment you will have the new Manufacturer dropdown. You can select that the profile is only for Polycom or only for Yealink.
In addition there is a Multiple option with this you can add both Polycom and Yealink settings to a single Profile. This is the preferred option as the profile can then be added to a Tag and server the same purpose for both manufacturers device. An example would be the setting for your devices to poll for new configs; the setting for Polycom and Yealink are very different but by including them both in a single profile it is simple to manage. In the example below we can see two tabs one for Yealink with 4 attributes and one for Polycom with 5 attributes.
