Adding Phones To The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Database - Cisco 7940G Administration Manual

Task Description
Request the configuration file.
7.
The TFTP server has configuration files, which define parameters
for connecting to Cisco Unified Communications Manager and
other information for the phone.
Contact Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
8.
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 security is implemented, the phone makes a TLS
connection. Otherwise, it makes a non-secure TCP connection.
If the phone was manually added to the database,
Cisco Unified Communications Manager identifies the phone. If
the phone was not manually added to the database and
auto-registration is enabled in Cisco Unified Communications
Manager, the phone attempts to auto-register itself in the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager database.
Auto-registration is disabled when security is enabled on
Note
Cisco Unified Communications Manager. In this case, the
phone must be manually added to the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager database.
