Adding Phones with BAT
The Cisco Bulk Administration Tool (BAT) is a plug-in application for Cisco Unified Communications
Manager 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 for a Cisco
Unified IP Phone” section on page 2-12.
For detailed instructions about using BAT, refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Administration Guide and to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration Guide.
