Translation Maps

Translation Maps are used in Device Provisioning, and allow you to specify how any provisioning related values entered by you will be translated to internal values for specific Phone Models. You can include these in the template files as needed.

For example - in your template you can define a custom variable AREA_CODE, and define translations from user-friendly names like "Palo Alto" and "San Francisco" to 650 and 415 respectively.

You can also specify how a user selected time zones will be translated into device manufacturer's timezone formats to replace TL_TIMEZONE variable in provisioning template files. For example, US Eastern Time Zone EST5EDT translates to -5 for Yealink phones, and to -18000 for Polycom.
