Chapter 2 Preparing to Install the Cisco Unified IP Phone on Your Network

Adding Phones to the Cisco Unified CallManager Database

You can use auto-registration to quickly enter phones into the

Cisco Unified CallManager database. You can then modify any settings, such as the directory numbers, from Cisco Unified CallManager. Additionally, you can move auto-registered phones to new locations and assign them to different device pools without affecting their directory numbers.

Auto-registration is enabled by default if Cisco Unified CallManager is operating in non-secured mode.

For information about enabling and configuring auto-registration, refer to Cisco Unified CallManager Administration Guide.

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