Methods for Adding Phones

Methods for Adding Phones

You can automatically add phones that support either the SCCP or SIP protocols to the Cisco Unified CallManager database by using autoregistration, manually by using the phone configuration windows, or in groups with the Bulk Administration Tool (BAT).

By enabling autoregistration before you begin installing phones, you can automatically add a Cisco Unified IP Phone to the Cisco Unified CallManager database when you connect the phone to your IP telephony network. For information on enabling autoregistration, refer to “Enabling Autoregistration” in the Cisco Unified CallManager Administration Guide. During autoregistration, Cisco Unified CallManager assigns the next available sequential directory number to the phone. In many cases, you may not want to use autoregistration; for example, if you want to assign a specific directory number to a phone or if you plan to implement authentication or encryption, as described in the Cisco Unified CallManager Security Guide.

Tip Cisco Unified CallManager automatically disables autoregistration if you configure the clusterwide security mode for authentication and encryption through the Cisco CTL client.

If you do not use autoregistration, you must manually add phones to the Cisco Unified CallManager database or use the Bulk Administration Tool (BAT). BAT enables system administrators to perform batch add, modify, and delete operations on large numbers of Cisco Unified IP Phones. Refer to the Cisco Unified CallManager Bulk Administration Guide for detailed instructions on using BAT.

User/Phone Add

You can use the End User, Phone, DN, and LA Configuration window to add a new phone at the same time that you add a new end user. You can associate a directory number (DN) and line appearance (LA) for the new end user by using the same window. To access the End User, Phone, DN, and LA Configuration window, choose the User Management > User/Phone Add menu option. See “User/Phone Add Configuration” in the Cisco Unified CallManager Administration Guide for configuration details.

Note The End User, Phone, DN, and LA Configuration window only allows addition of a new end user and a new phone. The window does not allow entry of existing end users or existing phones.

Phone Features

Cisco Unified CallManager enables you to configure the following phone features on Cisco Unified IP Phones: barge, privacy release, call back, call park, call pickup, immediate divert, malicious call identification, quality report tool, service URL, and speed dial and abbreviated dial.

For information about features that are related to directory numbers, see the “Directory Number Features” section on page 18-5. The following features get configured for directory numbers: call forward and call waiting.
