Adding Phones with Auto-Registration and TAPS
The Tool for Auto-Registered Phones Support (TAPS) works with the Bulk
Administration Tool (BAT) to update a batch of phones that were already added
to the Cisco Unified CallManager database with dummy MAC addresses. You use
TAPS to update MAC addresses and download pre-defined configurations for
phones.
You can add phones with auto-registration and TAPS without first gathering
MAC addresses from phones.
Note Auto-registration with TAPS works best when you are adding fewer than 100
phones to your network. If you need to add more than 100 phones, use the Bulk
Administration Tool (BAT). See the “Adding Phones with BAT” section on
page 2-15.
To implement TAPS, you or the end-user dial a TAPS directory number and follow
voice prompts. When the process is complete, the phone will have downloaded its
directory number and other settings, and the phone will be updated in
Cisco Unified CallManager Administration with the correct MAC address.
Auto-registration must be enabled in Cisco Unified CallManager Administration
(System > Cisco Unified CallManager) for TAPS to function.
