Adding Phones to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Database

Table 2-4 Cisco Unified IP Phone Startup Process (continued)
Configuration Step and Description
Step 7 Requesting the Configuration File.
The TFTP server has configuration files, which define parameters for
connecting to Cisco Unified Communications Manager and other
information for the phone.
Step 8
Contacting Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
The configuration file defines how the Cisco Unified IP Phone
communicates with Cisco Unified Communications Manager and provides a
phone with its load ID. After obtaining the file from the TFTP server, the
phone attempts to make a connection to the highest priority Cisco
Unified Communications Manager on the list. If security is implemented, the
phone makes a TLS connection. Otherwise, it makes a non-secure TCP
connection.
If the phone was manually added to the database, Cisco
Unified Communications Manager identifies the phone. If the phone was not
manually added to the database and auto-registration is enabled in Cisco
Unified Communications Manager, the phone attempts to auto-register itself
in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database.
Auto-registration is disabled when security is enabled on Cisco
Note
Unified Communications Manager. In this case, the phone must be
manually added to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
database.
