Procedure
Step 1 Take one of these actions:
• To auto-register the phone, set the Auto Registration Phone Protocol parameter in Cisco Unified

• To provision the phone using the Bulk Administration Tool (BAT), choose the appropriate phone
model and choose SIP from the BAT.
• To provision the phone manually, make the appropriate changes for SIP on the Phone configuration
window in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.
Refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide for detailed information about
Cisco Unified Communications Manager configuration. Refer to Cisco Unified Communications
Manager Bulk Administration Guide for detailed information about using the BAT.
