Adding Phones to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Database
Cisco recommends you use auto-registration and TAPS 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 2-18.
To implement TAPS, you or the end-user dial a TAPS directory number and follow
voice prompts. When the process is complete, the phone will have downloaded its
directory number and other settings, and the phone will be updated in
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration with the correct MAC
address.
Auto-registration must be enabled in Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Administration (System > Cisco Communications Manager) for TAPS to
function.
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.
Refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration Guide for
detailed instructions about BAT and about TAPS.

You can add phones individually to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
database using Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. To do
so, you first need to obtain the MAC address for each phone.
