Adding Phones with Cisco Unified CM Administration
You can add phones individually to the Cisco Unified CM database by using Cisco Unified CM
Administration. To do so, you first need to 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 2-11.
After you have collected MAC addresses, in Cisco Unified CM Administration, choose Device > Phone
and click Add New to begin.
For complete instructions and conceptual information about Cisco Unified CM, go to the “Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Overview” chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager System
Guide.

Adding Phones with BAT
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration Tool (BAT) enables you to perform batch
operations, including registration, on multiple phones. To access BAT, choose Bulk Administration
drop-down menu in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration,
To add phones by using BAT only (not in conjunction with TAPS), you can use the MAC address for
each phone or dummy MAC addresses if you have a large number of new phones.
For information about determining a MAC address, see the “Determining the MAC Address for a Cisco
Unified IP Phone” section on page 2-11.
For detailed instructions about using BAT, go to the “Bulk Administration” chapter in the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Administration Guide.
