When you configure the cluster for mixed mode through the Cisco CTL client,
auto-registration is automatically disabled. When you configure the cluster for

You can add phones with auto-registration and TAPS without first gathering
MAC addresses from phones.
Cisco recommends you use auto-registration and TAPS to add less than 100
phones to your network. To add more than 100 phones to your network, use the
Bulk Administration Tool (BAT).
TAPS, the Tool for Auto-Registered Phones Support, works with the Bulk
Administration Tool (BAT) to update phones that were already added to the
Cisco CallManager database with dummy MAC addresses. Use TAPS to update
MAC addresses and download pre-defined configurations for phones.
To implement TAPS, you or the end-user dial a TAPS directory number and
follow voice prompts. When the process is complete, the phone will have
downloaded its directory number and other settings, and the phone will be
updated in Cisco CallManager Administration with the correct MAC address.
You must make sure that Auto-registration is enabled in Cisco CallManager
Administration (System > Cisco CallManager) for TAPS to function.
