Why each option
When adding a new phone in Cisco Unified Communications Manager, the administrator must select the Phone Type as the very first step before any other configuration is presented.
In CUCM, clicking 'Add New' on the Phone configuration page immediately presents a 'Phone Type' dropdown as the first required selection. This is necessary because CUCM must know the device model or type to determine which fields, protocol options, and firmware templates to display for the remainder of the phone configuration form.
A BAT Phone Template is used within the Bulk Administration Tool for adding multiple phones simultaneously, not in the standard 'Add New' phone workflow in the CUCM administration interface.
The MAC Address field is presented later in the phone configuration form, after the phone type and protocol have been selected and the full configuration page has loaded.
The Common Phone Profile is an optional configuration field that appears within the phone configuration form after the phone type is selected, not as the initial prompt.
