Autoregistration and TAPS 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 phones that were already added
to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database with dummy MAC addresses. Use TAPS to update
MAC addresses and download predefined configurations for phones.
Cisco recommends that you use autoregistration and TAPS to add less than 100 phones to your network.
Note
To add more than 100 phones to your network, use the Bulk Administration Tool (BAT).
To implement TAPS, dial a TAPS directory number and follow the voice prompts. When the process completes,
the phone has downloaded the directory number and other settings, and the phone is updated in
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration with the correct MAC address.
Autoregistration must be enabled in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration (System > Cisco
Unified CM) for TAPS to function.
When you configure the cluster 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,
autoregistration is automatically enabled.
For more information, see "Bulk Administration" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Administration Guide and the "Tool for Auto-Registered Phones Support" chapter in the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Bulk Administration Guide.

Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Phone Addition

You can add phones individually to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database by using
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. To do so, you first need to obtain the MAC address
for each phone.
After you have collected MAC addresses, in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, choose
Device > Phone and click Add New to begin.
For complete instructions and conceptual information about Cisco Unified Communications Manager, see
the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide and the Cisco Unified Communications
Manager System Guide.
