Chapter 2 Preparing to Install the Cisco Unified IP Phone on Your Network
Adding Phones to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Database
Adding Phones with Auto-Registration and TAPS
TAPS, the Tool for Auto-Registered Phones Support, 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. You use TAPS to update MAC addresses and download pre-defined configurations for phones.
You can add phones with auto-registration and TAPS without first gathering MAC addresses from phones.
Note You should use auto-registration and TAPS to add less than 100 phones to your network. To add more than 100 phones to your network, use the Bulk Administration Tool (BAT). See the “Adding Phones with BAT” section on page 2-10.
To implement TAPS, you or the end-user dial a TAPS directory number and follow voice prompts. When the process is complete, the phone will have downloaded its directory number and other settings, and the phone will be updated in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration with the correct MAC address.
Auto-registration must be enabled in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration (System > Cisco Unified CM) for TAPS to function.
Note Cisco Unified Communications Manager automatically disables auto-registration if you configure the cluster-wide security mode for authentication and encryption through the Cisco CTL client.
Refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration Guide for detailed instructions about BAT and about TAPS.

Adding Phones with Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration
You can add phones individually to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database using Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. To do so, you first need to obtain the MAC address for each phone.
For information about determining a MAC address, see the “Determining the MAC Address for a Cisco Unified IP Phone” section on page 2-12.
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, refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide and to Cisco
Unified Communications Manager System Guide.
