Chapter 3 Setting Up the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G

Adding Phones with Auto-Registration

Use auto-registration to enter phones into the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database without
first gathering MAC addresses from the phones. When auto-registration is enabled,
Cisco Unified Communications Manager automatically assigns the next available sequential directory
number (DN) to new phones during the initial phone startup process.
After registering the phones, you can modify settings, such as the DNs and device pools, by using
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.
Auto-registration is disabled by default in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.
Note
You must enable and properly configure auto-registration before connecting any Cisco Unified IP Phone
to the network. For information about enabling and configuring auto-registration, refer to Cisco
Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide.

Adding Phones with Auto-Registration and TAPS

Use auto-registration and TAPS to add phones to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database.
Add the phones first by using BAT to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database with
dummy MAC addresses. Then use TAPS to update MAC addresses and download pre-defined
configurations for the phones.
To implement TAPS, dial a TAPS DN and follow voice prompts. When the process is complete, the
phone has downloaded its DN and other settings. The correct MAC address for the phone is updated in
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.
Note You must enable auto-registration in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration for TAPS
to function.
For Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 5.0 and prior releases, refer to Bulk Administration
Tool User Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager for detailed instructions about BAT and
TAPS. For Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 6.0(1), 6.1(1), and 7.0(1) refer to Cisco
Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration Guide.
