Adding a Phone
Before a Cisco IP phone can be used, you must use this procedure to add the
phone to Cisco CallManager. You can also use this procedure to configure H.323
clients or CTI ports. H.323 clients can be Symbol NetVision phones or Microsoft
NetMeeting clients. CTI ports designate virtual devices used by
Cisco CallManager applications such as Cisco SoftPhone and
Cisco AutoAttendant.
Note If you are planning to use a TAPI application to control CTI port devices using
the Cisco TAPI Service Provider (TSP), then you may only configure one line
per CTI port device.
