Overview of Configuring and Installing Cisco Unified IP Phones

When deploying a new unified communications system, system administrators

and network administrators must complete several initial configuration tasks to

prepare the network for unified communications service. For information and a

checklist for setting up and configuring a complete CiscoUnified

Communications network, refer to the “System Configuration Overview” chapter

in the Cisco Unified CallManager System Guide.

After you have set up the unified communications system and configured

system-wide features in Cisco Unified CallManager, you can add IP phones to the

system.

The following topics provide an overview of procedures for adding

Cisco Unified IP Phones to your network:

•Configuring CiscoUnified IP Phones in Cisco Unified CallManager,

page 1-17

•Installing Cisco Unified IP Phones, page1-22

To add phones to the CiscoUnified CallManager database, you can use:

•Auto-registration

•Cisco Unified CallManager Administration

•Bulk Administration Tool (BAT)

•BAT and the Tool for Auto-Registered Phones Support (TAPS)

For more information about these choices, see the “Adding Phones to the

Cisco Unified CallManager Database” section on page 2-11.
