Adding Phones with BAT
The Cisco Unified Communications Bulk Administration Tool (BAT), which is a menu option in
Cisco Unified CM Administration, enables you to perform batch operations, which includes 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 of a Cisco
Unified IP Phone” section on page 2-12.
To add a phone to the Cisco Unified CM, follow these steps:
Procedure
Step 1 From Cisco Unified CM, choose Bulk Administration > Phones > Phone Template.
Step 2 Click Add New.
Step 3 Choose a Phone Type and click Next.
Step 4 Enter the details of phone specific parameters such as Device Pool, Phone Button Template, and Device
Security Profile.
Step 5 Click Save.
Step 6 From Cisco Unified CM, choose Device > Phone > Add New to add a phone using an already created
BAT phone template.
For detailed instructions about using BAT and BAT phone templates, see the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Bulk Administration Guide, Phone Template.

Using Cisco Unified IP Phones with Different Protocols
The Cisco Unified IP Phone can operate with SCCP (Skinny Client Control Protocol) or SIP (Session
Initiation Protocol). You can convert a phone that is using one protocol for use with the other protocol.
