You can add phones with auto-registration and TAPS without first gathering
MAC addresses from phones.
You should 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 2-16.
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 CallManager Administration with the correct MAC
address.
Auto-registration must be enabled in Cisco Unified CallManager Administration
(System > Cisco CallManager) for TAPS to function.
Cisco Unified CallManager automatically disables auto-registration if you
configure the cluster-wide security mode for authentication and encryption
through the Cisco CTL client.
Refer to Cisco Unified CallManager Bulk Administration Guide for detailed
instructions about BAT and about TAPS.
