Chapter 4 Adding the Cisco ATA to the Cisco CallManager

Using the Cisco Bulk Administration Tool (BAT)

Step 11 Click the Insert button (called the Update button in Cisco CallManager version 3.2).

A popup window asks you if you want to return to the current-device page. Click OK.

Step 12 To add a second FXS port to Cisco CallManager, go back to Step 3 and proceed from there.

You need to fabricate a MAC address for the Phone 2 port by dropping the two left-most digits from the Cisco ATA MAC address and add the digits 01 to the right-most portion of the MAC address.

Example

If the MAC address of the Cisco ATA is 00070EA26032, then the fabricated MAC address for the Phone 2 port would be 070EA2603201.

Note By default, both Cisco ATA FXS ports are enabled for Cisco CallManager registration. If you do not want to add the Phone 2 FXS port to Cisco CallManager, you must change the Cisco ATA EPID1orSID1 parameter value to 0 to disable the Phone 2 port. (To disable the Phone 1 port, you must change the EPID0orSID0 parameter value to 0.)
