Cisco recommends you use auto-registration to add less than 100 phones to your
network. To add more than 100 phones to your network, use the Bulk
Administration Tool (BAT). See the
page 2-16.
Auto-registration is disabled by default. In some cases, you might not want to use
auto-registration: for example, if you want to assign a specific directory number
to the phone or if you plan to implement authentication or encryption, as
described in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide. For
information about enabling auto-registration, refer to "Enabling
Auto-Registration" in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Administration Guide.
When you configure the cluster for mixed mode through the Cisco CTL client,
auto-registration is automatically disabled. When you configure the cluster for
non-secure mode through the Cisco CTL client, auto-registration is automatically
enabled.

You can add phones with auto-registration and TAPS, the Tool for
Auto-Registered Phones Support, without first gathering MAC addresses from
phones.
TAPS works with the Bulk Administration Tool (BAT) to update a batch of phones
that were already added to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database
with dummy MAC addresses. Use TAPS to update MAC addresses and download
pre-defined configurations for phones.
