Adding the Cisco ATA to the Cisco CallManager
Once you have configured the Cisco ATA, converted the configuration file into a binary file and stored
the file on the Cisco CallManager TFTP server, you must register the Cisco ATA with
Cisco CallManager.
The Cisco CallManager administrator must decide which of the three registration methods is best based
on the Cisco CallManager environment.
• Adding Cisco ATAs Manually, page 4-2—You can use this method if you have a limited number of
Cisco ATAs to add to the Cisco CallManager.
• Using the Cisco Bulk Administration Tool (BAT), page 4-3—This is the most common method if
you need to add many Cisco ATAs to the Cisco CallManager.
• Using Auto-Registration, page 4-4—This method is disabled by default. If this method is enabled,
all devices connected to a specific Cisco CallManager are auto-registered. This process cannot be
limited to only the Cisco ATAs that are connected to a specific Cisco CallManager.
For Cisco CallManager 3.2 or later, register the Cisco ATA as the Cisco ATA 186 device type (regardless
of whether the device is a Cisco ATA 186 or a Cisco ATA 188). If you are using a version of
Cisco CallManager prior to Release 3.2, you must register the Cisco ATA as the Cisco 7960 device type.
Note The term Cisco ATA is used throughout this manual to refer to both the Cisco ATA 186 and the
Cisco ATA 188, unless differences between the Cisco ATA 186 and Cisco ATA 188 are explicitly stated.
