The following sections describe methods for adding phones.

Autoregistration Phone Addition

Use autoregistration to enter phones into the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database without first
gathering MAC addresses from the phones. When autoregistration is enabled, Cisco Unified Communications
Manager automatically assigns the next available sequential directory number (DN) to new phones during
the initial phone startup process.
