After the phone is connected to the network, the phone startup process begins and the phone registers
with Cisco Unified Communications Manager. To finish installing the phone, configure the network
settings on the phone depending on whether you enable or disable DHCP service.
If you used auto-registration, you need to update the specific configuration information for the phone
such as associating the phone with a user, changing the button table, or directory number.
