Adding a Phone

Before a Cisco IP phone can be used, you must use this procedure to add the phone to Cisco CallManager. You can also use this procedure to configure H.323 clients or CTI ports. H.323 clients can be Symbol NetVision phones or Microsoft NetMeeting clients. CTI ports designate virtual devices used by

Cisco CallManager applications such as Cisco SoftPhone and Cisco AutoAttendant.

Note If you are planning to use a TAPI application to control CTI port devices using the Cisco TAPI Service Provider (TSP), then you may only configure one line per CTI port device.
