Chapter 2 Preparing to Install the Cisco Unified IP Phone on Your Network
Adding Phones to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Database
Adding Phones to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Database
Before installing the Cisco Unified IP phone, you must choose a method for adding phones to the
Cisco
Unified Communications Manager database. These sections describe the methods:
• Adding Phones with Auto-Registration, page 2-8
• Adding Phones with Auto-Registration and TAPS, page 2-9
• Adding Phones with Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, page 2-9
• Adding Phones with BAT, page 2-10
Table 2-4 provides an overview of these methods for adding phones to the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager database.
7. Request the configuration file.
The TFTP server has configuration files, which define
parameters for connecting to
Cisco
Unified Communications Manager and other
information for the phone.
• Adding Phones to the Cisco
Unified Communications Manager Database,
page 2-7
• Resolving Startup Problems, page 8-1.
8. Contact Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
The configuration file defines how the
Cisco
Unified IP Phone communicates with
Cisco
Unified Communications Manager and provides a
phone with its load ID. After obtaining the file from the
TFTP server, the phone attempts to make a connection to
the highest priority Cisco
Unified Communications
Manager on the list. If security is implemented, the phone
makes a TLS connection. Otherwise, it makes a non-secure
TCP connection.
If the phone was manually added to the database,
Cisco
Unified Communications Manager identifies the
phone. If the phone was not manually added to the database
and auto-registration is enabled in
Cisco
Unified Communications Manager, the phone
attempts to auto-register itself in the
Cisco
Unified Communications Manager database.
Note Auto-registration is disabled when security is
enabled on Cisco
Unified Communications
Manager. In this case, the phone must be manually
added to the Cisco
Unified Communications
Manager database.
