Database (continued)
Method
Using the
Cisco Unified
CallManager
Administration
Using BAT
By enabling auto-registration before you begin installing phones, you can:
Automatically add a Cisco Unified IP Phone to the
•
Cisco Unified CallManager database when you physically connect the phone
to your IP telephony network. During auto-registration,
Cisco Unified CallManager assigns the next available sequential directory
number to the phone.
Add phones without first gathering MAC addresses from the phones.
•
Quickly enter phones into the Cisco Unified CallManager database and
•
modify any settings, such as the directory numbers, from
Cisco Unified CallManager.
Move auto-registered phones to new locations and assign them to different
•
device pools without affecting their directory numbers.
You should use auto-registration 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 "Adding Phones with BAT" section on page
