Chapter 3 Setting Up the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G
Before You Begin
Adding Phones with Auto-Registration
Use auto-registration to enter phones into the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database without
first gathering MAC
addresses from the phones. When auto-registration is enabled,
Cisco
Unified Communications Manager automatically assigns the next available sequential directory
number (DN) to new phones during the initial phone startup process.
After registering the phones, you can modify settings, such as the DNs and device pools, by using
Cisco
Unified Communications Manager Administration.
Note Auto-registration is disabled by default in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.
You must enable and properly configure auto-registration before connecting any Cisco
Unified IP Phone
to the network. For information about enabling and configuring auto-registration, refer to Cisco
Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide.

Adding Phones with Auto-Registration and TAPS
Use auto-registration and TAPS to add phones to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database.
Add the phones first by using BAT to the Cisco
Unified Communications Manager database with
dummy MAC addresses. Then use TAPS to update MAC
addresses and download pre-defined
configurations for the phones.
To implement TAPS, dial a TAPS DN and follow voice prompts. When the process is complete, the
phone has downloaded its DN and other settings. The correct MAC address for the phone is updated in
Cisco
Unified Communications Manager Administration.
Note You must enable auto-registration in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration for TAPS
to function.
For Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 5.0 and prior releases, refer to Bulk Administration
Tool User Guide for Cisco Unified
Communications Manager for detailed instructions about BAT and
TAPS. For Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 6.0(1), 6.1(1), and 7.0(1) refer to Cisco
Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration Guide.
