In some cases, you might not want to use auto-registration: for example, if you
want to assign a specific directory number to the phone or if you plan to
implement authentication or encryption, as described in
Cisco
Unified CallManager Security Guide. For information about enabling
auto-registration, refer to “Enabling Auto-Registration” in the
Cisco
Unified CallManager Administration Guide.
Note Cisco Unified CallManager automatically disables auto-registration if you
configure the cluster-wide security mode for authentication and encryption
through the Cisco CTL client.

Adding Phones with Auto-Registration and TAPS
TAPS, the Tool for Auto-Registered Phones Support, works with the Bulk
Administration Tool (BAT) to update a batch of phones that were already added
to the Cisco
Unified CallManager database with dummy MAC addresses. You use
TAPS to update MAC
addresses and download pre-defined configurations for
phones.
You can add phones with auto-registration and TAPS without first gathering
MAC
addresses from phones.
Note You should use auto-registration and TAPS to add less than 100 phones to your
network. To add more than 100 phones to your network, use the Bulk
Administration Tool (BAT). See the
“Adding Phones with BAT” section on
page 2-16.
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 CallManager Administration with the correct MAC address.
