Configuring Cisco IP Phones
You can automatically add phones to the Cisco CallManager database by using auto-registration, manually add phones by using the phone configuration windows, or add phones in groups with the Cisco Bulk Administration Tool (BAT). By enabling auto-registration, you can automatically add a Cisco IP Phone to the Cisco CallManager database when you connect the phone to your IP telephony network. During auto-registration, Cisco CallManager assigns the next available sequential directory number to the phone. In many cases, you might not want to use auto-registration; for example, if you want to assign a specific directory number to a phone. If you do not use auto-registration, you must manually add phones to the Cisco CallManager database or use BAT. BAT, a plug-in application, makes it possible for system administrators to perform batch add, modify, and delete operations on large numbers of Cisco IP Phones. Refer to the Bulk Administration Tool Guide for Cisco CallManager for detailed instructions on using BAT.
After you add a Cisco IP Phone to Cisco CallManager Administration, the RIS Data Collector service displays the device name, registration status, and the IP address of the Cisco CallManager to which the phone is registered in the Phone Configuration window.
