Cisco Unified Communications Manager Phone Addition Methods
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 autoregistration is enabled in Cisco
Unified Communications Manager, the phone attempts to autoregister in the Cisco Unified Communications
Manager database.

Methods
Before installing the Cisco Unified IP Phone, you must choose a method for adding phones to the
Cisco Unified Communications Manager database. Each phone type requires a fixed number of device license
units and the available number of unit licenses on the server may impact phone registration. For more
information on licensing, see the "Licenses for Phones" section in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
System Guide.
The following table provides an overview of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager phone addition
