Autoregistration And Taps Phone Addition - Cisco 6901 Administration Manual

Cisco Unified IP Phone and Telephony Networks
• Quickly enter phones into the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database and modify any settings,
• Move autoregistered phones to new locations and assign them to different device pools without affecting
Note Cisco recommends you use autoregistration 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 system disables autoregistration 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, see the "Enabling Autoregistration" section in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Administration Guide.
When you configure the cluster for mixed mode through the Cisco CTL client, autoregistration automatically

disables. When you configure the cluster for nonsecure mode through the Cisco CTL client, autoregistration
automatically enables.

Autoregistration and TAPS Phone Addition

You can add phones with autoregistration the Tool for Auto-Registered Phones Support (TAPS), 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 predefined phone configuration files.
Cisco recommends you use autoregistration and TAPS to add less than 100 phones to your network. To

Using BAT Phone Template, 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 the 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.
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.
