Database

Description
The configuration file defines how the
Cisco Unified IP Phone communicates with
Cisco Unified CallManager 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 CallManager on the list.
If the phone was manually added to the
database, Cisco Unified CallManager identifies
the phone. If the phone was not manually added
to the database and auto-registration is enabled
in Cisco Unified CallManager, the phone
attempts to auto-register itself in the
Cisco Unified CallManager database.
Auto-registration is disabled when
Note
security is enabled on Cisco Unified
CallManager. In this case, the phone
must be manually added to the
Cisco Unified CallManager database.
Before installing the Cisco Unified IP phone, you must choose a method for
adding phones to the Cisco Unified CallManager database. These sections
describe the methods:
