Adding Phones with Auto-Registration and TAPS
You can add phones with auto-registration and TAPS, the Tool for Auto-Registered Phones Support,
without first gathering MAC addresses from phones.
TAPS works with the Bulk Administration Tool (BAT) to update a batch of phones that were already
added to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database with dummy MAC addresses. Use TAPS
to update MAC addresses and download pre-defined configurations for phones.
We recommend that you use auto-registration and TAPS to add less than 100 phones to your network.
Note
To add more than 100 phones to your network, use the Bulk Administration Tool (BAT). See
Phones with BAT, page
To implement TAPS, you or the end user dial a TAPS directory number and follow voice prompts. When
the process completes, the phone will have downloaded its directory number and other settings, and the
phone will be updated in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration with the correct MAC
address.
Auto-registration must be enabled in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration
(System > Cisco Unified CM) for TAPS to function.
Note
When you configure the cluster for mixed mode through the Cisco CTL client, auto-registration is
automatically disabled. When you configure the cluster for non-secure mode through the Cisco CTL
client, auto-registration is automatically enabled.
For more information about BAT and TAPS, see Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bulk
Administration Guide.
