Adding Phones with BAT

Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration Tool (BAT) enables you to perform batch operations, including registration, on multiple phones. To access BAT, choose Bulk Administration drop-down menu in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration,

To add phones by using BAT only (not in conjunction with TAPS), you can use the MAC address for each phone or dummy MAC addresses if you have a large number of new phones.

For information about determining a MAC address, see the “Determining the MAC Address for a Cisco Unified IP Phone” section on page 2-10.

For detailed instructions about using BAT, go to the “Bulk Administration” chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide.
