Adding Phones to the Cisco Unified CM Database

Table 2-3 Cisco Unified IP Phone Startup Process (continued)
Task Purpose
Requesting the Configuration File
7.
The TFTP server has configuration files, which define
parameters for connecting to Cisco Unified CM and
other information for the phone.
Contacting Cisco Unified CM
8.
The configuration file defines how the Cisco
Unified IP Phone communicates with Cisco
Unified CM 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 CM on the list.
If the phone was manually added to the database,
Cisco Unified CM identifies the phone. If the phone
was not manually added to the database and
auto-registration is enabled in Cisco Unified CM, the
phone attempts to auto-register itself in the Cisco
Unified CM database.
Adding Phones to the Cisco Unified CM Database
Before installing the Cisco Unified IP phone, you must choose a method for adding phones to the Cisco
Unified CM database. Be aware that each phone type requires a fixed number of device license units and
the number of unit licenses that are available on the server may impact phone registration. For more
information on licensing go to the
Manager System Guide.
