Set Up Cisco Unified IP Phone
If autoregistration is not enabled and the phone does not exist in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
database, you must configure the Cisco IP Phone in Cisco Unified Communications Manager manually. Some
tasks in this procedure are optional, depending on your system and user needs.
For more information about Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, see the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Administration Guide.
Perform the configuration steps in the following procedure using Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Administration.
Procedure
Step 1
Gather the following information about the phone:
•
Phone model

Number of lines and associated directory numbers (DNs) to assign to the phone
•
Cisco Unified Communications Manager user to associate with the phone

The information provides a list of configuration requirements for setting up phones and identifies preliminary
configuration that you need to perform before configuring individual phones, such as phone button templates.

Step 2
Verify that you have sufficient unit licenses for your phone. For more information, see the “Licensing” section
