Cisco Unified IP Phones and telephony networks

Autoregistration and TAPS IP Phone addition

You can add phones with autoregistration and TAPS, the Tool for Auto-Registered Phones Support, without
first gathering MAC addresses from phones.
TAPS works with the Bulk Administration Tool (BAT) to update a batch of conference phones that were
previously added to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database with dummy MAC addresses. Use
TAPS to update the MAC addresses and to download predefined configurations for conference phones.
Cisco recommends that you use autoregistration to add fewer than 100 conference phones to your network.
Note
To add more than 100 conference phones to your network, use the Bulk Administration Tool (BAT).
To implement TAPS, dial a TAPS directory number and follow voice prompts. When the process is complete,
the conference phone has downloaded the directory number (DN) and other settings. The conference phone
has also been updated in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration with the correct MAC
address.
Autoregistration must be enabled in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration for TAPS to
function. You can do this from System > Cisco Unified CM.
When you configure the client for mixed mode through the Cisco CTL client, autoregistration is
Note
automatically disabled. When you configure the cluster for nonsecure mode through the Cisco CTL client,
autoregistation is automatically enabled.

Guide and "Tool for Auto-Registered Phones Support", Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bulk
Administration Guide.

address for each conference phone.
After you collect MAC addresses, in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, choose Device
> Phone, and then click Add New to begin the addition process.
