Install Cisco Ip Phone - Cisco 8800 Series Administration Manual

Cisco recommends that you use autoregistration and TAPS to add fewer than 100 phones to your network.
To add more than 100 phones to your network, use the Bulk Administration Tool (BAT).
To implement TAPS, you or the end user dials a TAPS directory number and follows voice prompts. After
the process is complete, the phone contains the directory number and other settings, and the phone is updated
in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration with the correct MAC address.
Verify that autoregistration is enabled and is properly configured in Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Administration before you connect any Cisco IP Phone to the network. For information about enabling and
configuring autoregistration, see the documentation for your particular Cisco Unified Communications Manager
release.
Autoregistration must be enabled in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration for TAPS to
function.
Procedure
Step 1
In Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, click System > Cisco Unified CM.
Step 2 Select the required server and then select the Autoregister check box.
Step 3 In Auto-registration Information, configure Universal Device Template, Universal Line Template, Starting
Directory Number, and Ending Directory Number.
Step 4 Click Save.

After the phone connects to the network, the phone startup process begins, and the phone registers with Cisco
Unified Communications Manager. To finish installing the phone, configure the network settings on the phone
depending on whether you enable or disable DHCP service.
If you used autoregistration, you need to update the specific configuration information for the phone such as
associating the phone with a user, changing the button table, or directory number.
Before using external devices, read
Note
If you only have one LAN cable at your desk, you can plug your phone into the LAN with the SW port and
then connect your computer into the PC port.
You can also daisy chain two phones together. Connect the PC port of the first phone to the SW port of the
second phone.
Caution Do not connect the SW and PC ports into the LAN.
