Adding Phones to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Database

Description
The configuration file defines how the
Cisco Unified IP Phone communicates with
Cisco Unified Communications Manager and
provides a phone with its load ID. After
obtaining the file from the TFTP server, the
phone attempts to make a connection to the
highest priority Cisco Unified Communications
Manager on the list.
If the phone was manually added to the data-
base,Cisco Unified Communications Manager
identifies the phone. If the phone was not
manually added to the database and auto-regis-
tration is enabled in Cisco Unified Communica-
tions Manager, the phone attempts to
auto-register itself in the Cisco Unified Commu-
nications Manager database.
Auto-registration is disabled when
Note
security is enabled on Cisco Unified
Communications Manager. In this case,
the phone must be manually added to the
Cisco Unified Communications Manag-
erdatabase.
Before installing the Cisco Unified IP phone, you must choose a method for
adding phones to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database. These
sections describe the methods:
