You can add phones with auto-registration and TAPS without first gathering
MAC addresses from phones.
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 2-16.
TAPS, the Tool for Auto-Registered Phones Support, works with the Bulk
Administration Tool (BAT) to update phones that were already added to the
Cisco Unified CallManager database with dummy MAC addresses. Use TAPS to
update MAC addresses and download pre-defined configurations for phones.
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.
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 CallManager Bulk Administration Guide for detailed
instructions about BAT and about TAPS.
