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, or if you plan to implement authentication or
encryption. For information about enabling autoregistration, see "Enable Autoregistration" section in the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide. For information about authentication or
encryption as it pertains to autoregistration, refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide.
