Option	Explanation
Force setting to existing CPE	If enabled, all existing and new CPEs/phones will be provisioned with these settings. If disabled, the settings are only applied to new CPEs/phones that are added after this change.
Reboot device	If enabled, all CPEs/phones in the account will be rebooted and then provisioned with the new settings. A phone will normally take 5 to 10 minutes to reboot. The phone won't be available to the user during this time. If disabled, the phones won’t be rebooted at the same time.
