Adding Phones with Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration

You can add phones individually to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database using Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. To do so, you first need to obtain the MAC address for each phone.

For information about determining a MAC address, see Determining the MAC Address of a Cisco Unified IP Phone, page 2-15.

After you have collected MAC addresses, in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, choose Device > Phone and click Add New to begin.

For complete instructions and conceptual information about Cisco Unified Communications Manager, refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide and to Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide.
