You can use auto-registration to quickly enter phones into the Cisco CallManager
database without first gathering MAC addresses from the phones.
When auto-registration is enabled, Cisco CallManager begins the automatic
startup process to obtain a directory number. During auto-registration,
Cisco CallManager automatically assigns the next available sequential directory
number to new phones as they register with Cisco CallManager.
After registering phones with Cisco CallManager, you can modify any settings,
such as the directory numbers, by using Cisco CallManager Administration.
Additionally, you can move auto-registered phones to new locations and assign
them to different device pools without affecting their directory numbers.
Auto-registration is disabled by default in Cisco CallManager. You must enable
and properly configure auto-registration before connecting any Cisco IP Phone to
the network. For information about enabling and configuring auto-registration,
refer to Cisco CallManager Administration Guide.
If you use auto-registration to register the Cisco Wireless IP Phone 7920 with
Cisco CallManager 3.3 released prior to 3.3(3) SR1, you must make the
configuration files on the phone available to the Cisco CallManager so the phone
can be registered with the Cisco 7960 phone type. If the configuration files are not
available, the Cisco CallManager cannot auto-register the phone.
Use this procedure to enable the configuration files for Cisco CallManager
releases prior to 3.3(3) SR1.
Procedure
Log in to the Cisco CallManager Administration application.
From the menu bar, choose Service > Service Parameters.
The Service Parameters Configuration page appears.
In the Service drop-down list box, choose Cisco TFTP.
Click the Advanced button.
