Adding Phones with Auto-Registration and TAPS
You can add phones with auto-registration and TAPS, the Tool for Auto-Registered Phones Support,
without first gathering MAC addresses from phones.
TAPS works with the Bulk Administration Tool (BAT) to update a batch of phones that were already
added to the Cisco Unified CM database with dummy MAC addresses. Use TAPS to update
MAC addresses and download pre-defined configurations for phones.
Cisco recommends you use auto-registration and TAPS to add less than 100 phones to your network. To
Note
add more than 100 phones to your network, use the Bulk Administration Tool (BAT). See the
Phones with BAT" section on page
To implement TAPS, you or the end-user dial a TAPS directory number and follow voice prompts. When
the process is complete, the phone will have downloaded its directory number and other settings, and the
phone will be updated in Cisco Unified CM Administration with the correct MAC address.
Auto-registration must be enabled in Cisco Unified CM Administration (System > Cisco Unified CM)
for TAPS to function.
When you configure the cluster for mixed mode through the Cisco CTL client, auto-registration is
Note
automatically disabled. When you configure the cluster for non-secure mode through the Cisco CTL
client, auto-registration is automatically enabled.

Manager Administration Guide.
