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

Creating a SIP Profile

Adding Phones with BAT

The Cisco Unified Bulk Administration Tool (BAT) is a plug-in application for Cisco Unified CallManager that enables you to perform batch operations, including registration, on multiple phones.

To add phones using BAT only (not in conjunction with TAPS), you first need to obtain the appropriate MAC address for each phone. See the “Determining the MAC Address of a Cisco Unified IP Phone” section on page 2-12for instructions.

For detailed instructions about using BAT, refer to Cisco Unified CallManager Administration Guide and to Cisco Unified CallManager Bulk Administration Guide.

Creating a SIP Profile

Each SIP IP phone on the network must be associated with a SIP profile. To create a SIP profile, navigate from Cisco Unified CallManager Administration to Device

>Device Settings > SIP Profile. Most fields on the SIP Profile Configuration screen contain default values that you can use. However, some fields require configuration.

For complete information about SIP profiles and the SIP Profile Configuration screen, refer to the Cisco Unified CallManager Administration Guide.

To create a unique SIP profile for a phone on your network, follow these steps:

Procedure

Step 1 Click Copy to the right of the screen containing an existing SIP Profile.

Step 2 Make changes in the applicable fields that are specific to your new SIP profile.

Step 3 Name the unique SIP profile with a descriptive name.
