Adding Phones With Autoregistration And Taps - Cisco 6901 Administration Manual

Chapter 2 Preparing to Install the Cisco Unified IP Phone on Your Network
Autoregistration is disabled by default. In some cases, you might not want to use autoregistration; for
example, if you want to assign a specific directory number to the phone. For information about enabling
autoregistration, go to the
Manager Administration Guide.
Note When you configure the cluster for mixed mode through the Cisco CTL client, autoregistration is
automatically disabled. When you configure the cluster for nonsecure mode through the Cisco CTL
client, autoregistration is automatically enabled.

Adding Phones with autoregistration and TAPS

You can add phones with autoregistration and TAPS, the Tool for Auto-Registered Phones Support,
without first gathering MAC addresses from phones.
TAPS works with the Bulk Administration Tool (BAT) to update a batch of phones that were already
added to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database with dummy MAC addresses. Use TAPS
to update MAC addresses and download pre-defined configurations for phones.
Cisco recommends you use autoregistration and TAPS to add less than 100 phones to your network. To
Note
add more than 100 phones to your network, use the Bulk Administration Tool (BAT). See the
Phones Using the BAT Phone Template" section on page
To implement TAPS, you or the end user dial a TAPS directory number and follow the voice prompts.
When the process completes, the phone has downloaded its directory number and other settings, and the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager database contains the correct MAC address for the phone.
Autoregistration must be enabled in Cisco Unified Communications Manager (System > Cisco Unified
CM) for TAPS to function.
When you configure the cluster for mixed mode through the Cisco CTL client, autoregistration is
Note
automatically disabled. When you configure the cluster for nonsecure mode through the Cisco CTL
client, autoregistration is automatically enabled.
For more information, go to the
Manager Administration Guide.
