Adding Devices with BAT
The Cisco Bulk Administration Tool (BAT) is a plug-in application for
Cisco CallManager that enables system administrators to perform batch
operations, including registration, on large numbers of devices, including
Cisco IP Phones and Cisco IP Communicator devices.
To add devices using BAT only (meaning, not in conjunction with TAPS), you
need to first collect the appropriate MAC address from the network interface for
each client on which you want the Cisco IP Communicator application installed.
See the “Collecting MAC Addresses Before Adding Devices” section on
page 2-14 for more information.
For detailed instructions about using BAT, refer to Cisco CallManager
Administration Guide and the Bulk Administration Tool User Guide for Cisco
CallManager.
