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
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 Unified Communications Manager) for TAPS
to function. To auto-register SIP phones, you must set the Auto Registration
Phone Protocol parameter in Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Administration to SIP.
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.
For information about determining a MAC address, see the
MAC Address for a Cisco Unified IP Phone" section on page
After you have collected MAC addresses, in Cisco Unified Communications
Manager Administration, choose Device > Phone and click Add New to begin
adding phones to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database.
For complete instructions and conceptual information about Cisco Unified
Communications Manager, refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Administration Guide and to Cisco Unified Communications Manager System
