Registering the Phone with Cisco Unified Communications Manager
A Cisco Unified IP Phone can register with a Cisco Unified Communications Manager server only if the
phone is added to the server or if autoregistration is enabled. Review the information and procedures in

To verify that the phone is in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database, choose Device >
Phone > Find from Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration to search for the phone
based on the MAC Address. For information about determining a MAC address, see the
the MAC Address for a Cisco Unified IP Phone" section on page
If the phone is already in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database, the configuration file
may be damaged. See the
Cisco Unified IP Phone 8961, 9951, and 9971 Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 8.6 (SIP)
When you remove a phone from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database, the
configuration file is deleted from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager TFTP server. The
phone directory number or numbers remain in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
database. They are called "unassigned DNs" and can be used for other devices. If unassigned DNs
are not used by other devices, delete them from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
database. You can use the Route Plan Report to view and delete unassigned reference numbers. See
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide for more information.
Changing the buttons on a phone button template, or assigning a different phone button template to
a phone, may result in directory numbers that are no longer accessible from the phone. The directory
numbers are still assigned to the phone in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database, but
there is no button on the phone with which calls can be answered. These directory numbers should
be removed from the phone and deleted if necessary.
