Cisco Unified Communications Manager Phone Addition Methods

If the security profile of the phone is configured for secure signaling (encrypted or authenticated) and the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager is set to secure mode, the phone makes a TLS connection.
Otherwise, the phone makes a nonsecure TCP connection.
If the phone was manually added to the database, Cisco Unified Communications Manager identifies the
phone. If the phone was not manually added to the database and autoregistration is enabled in Cisco
Unified Communications Manager, the phone attempts to autoregister itself in the Cisco
Unified Communications Manager database.
Autoregistration is disabled when you configure the CTL client. In this case, you must add the phone to
Note
the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database manually.
For more information, see the "Cisco Unified IP Phone and your network" chapter and the "Troubleshooting
and maintenance" chapter.
