Adding Phones with BAT

The Cisco 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.

Before you can add phones using BAT only (not in conjunction with TAPS), you must obtain the MAC address for each phone.

For information about determining a MAC address, see the “Determining the

MAC Address of a Cisco Unified IP Phone” section on page 2-18.

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