Chapter 2 Preparing to Install the Cisco Unified IP Phone on Your Network
Adding Phones to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Database
Adding Phones to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Database
Before installing the Cisco Unified IP phone, you must choose a method for adding phones to the
Cisco
Unified Communications Manager database. These sections describe the methods:
• Adding Phones with Auto-Registration, page 2-9
• Adding Phones with Auto-Registration and TAPS, page 2-10
• Adding Phones with Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, page 2-11
• Adding Phones with BAT, page 2-11
Step 7
Requesting the Configuration File.
The TFTP server has configuration files, which define parameters for
connecting to Cisco Unified
Communications Manager and other
information for the phone.
See the “Understanding Phone
Configuration Files” section on
page 2-5.
See the “Resolving Startup Problems”
section on page 9-1.
Step 8
Contacting Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
The configuration file defines how the Cisco Unified IP Phone
communicates with Cisco Unified
Communications Manager and provides a
phone with its load ID. After obtaining the file from the TFTP server, the
phone attempts to make a connection to the highest priority Cisco
Unified
Communications Manager on the list. If security is implemented, the
phone makes a TLS connection. Otherwise, it makes a non-secure TCP
connection.
If the phone was manually added to the database, Cisco
Unified
Communications Manager identifies the phone. If the phone was not
manually added to the database and auto-registration is enabled in Cisco
Unified
Communications Manager, the phone attempts to auto-register itself
in the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager database.
Note Auto-registration is disabled when security is enabled on Cisco
Unified
Communications Manager. In this case, the phone must be
manually added to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
database.
See the “Resolving Startup Problems”
section on page 9-1.
