	the list. If security is implemented, the phone
	makes a TLS connection. Otherwise, it makes a
	non-secure TCP connection.

	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

	Unified CallManager database.

	security is enabled on Cisco
	Unified CallManager. In this case, the
	phone must be manually added to the
	Cisco Unified CallManager database.
