Chapter 2 Preparing to Install the Cisco Unified IP Phone on Your Network
Understanding the Phone Startup Process
Auto-registration must be enabled in Cisco Unified CallManager Administration
(System > Cisco Unified CallManager) for TAPS to function.
Note Cisco Unified CallManager automatically disables auto-registration if you
configure the cluster-wide security mode for authentication and encryption
through the Cisco CTL client.
Refer to Bulk Administration Tool User Guide for Cisco Unified CallManager for
detailed instructions about BAT and about TAPS.

Adding Phones with Cisco Unified CallManager Administration
You can add phones individually to the Cisco Unified CallManager database
using Cisco Unified CallManager 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 of a Cisco Unified IP Phone” section on page 2-14.
After you have collected MAC addresses, choose Device > Add a New Device in
Cisco Unified CallManager Administration to begin.
For complete instructions and conceptual information about
Cisco Unified CallManager, refer to Cisco Unified CallManager Administration
Guide and to Cisco Unified CallManager System Guide.
