Chapter 2 Preparing to Install the Cisco IP Phone on Your Network
Adding Phones to the Cisco CallManager Database
Adding Phones to the Cisco CallManager Database
Before installing the Cisco IP phone, you must choose a method for adding
phones to the Cisco CallManager database. The following sections describe these
methods:
• Adding Phones with Auto-Registration, page 2-12
• Adding Phones with Auto-Registration and TAPS, page 2-13
• Adding Phones with Cisco CallManager Administration, page 2-14
• Adding Phones with BAT, page 2-15
Table 2-5 provides an overview of these methods for adding phones to the
Cisco CallManager database.
8. Contacting
Cisco CallManager
The configuration file defines how the
Cisco IP Phone communicates with
Cisco CallManager 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 CallManager 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 CallManager identifies the phone. If the
phone was not manually added to the database and
auto-registration is enabled in Cisco CallManager,
the phone attempts to auto-register itself in the
Cisco CallManager database.
Note Auto-registration is disabled when
security is enabled on Cisco CallManager.
In this case, the phone must be manually
added to the Cisco CallManager database.
