Adding Phones Manually
If you want to assign specific directory numbers to a specific Cisco IP Phone
without using auto-registration, you can manually add ea ch phone to the
Cisco CallManager database or use the Bulk Administration Tool (BAT).
If you want to add phones manually, and are not using Dynamic H ost
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) in your network, then you must configure the IP
settings and Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server locally on each phone.
Alternatively, if you use DHCP, but want to manually set the TFTP server, then
allow the phone to start up, using DHCP, before re-assigning the TFTP server.

using DHCP, you do not need to assign IP addresses or TFTP servers.
