Adding Phones with BAT
The Cisco Bulk Administration Tool (BAT) is a plug-in application for
Cisco
Unified CallManager that enables you to perform batch operations,
including registration, on multiple phones.
Before you can add phones using BAT only (not in conjunction with TAPS), you
must obtain the MAC address for each phone.
For information about determining a MAC address, see the “Determining the
MAC Address of a Cisco Unified IP Phone” section on page 2-19.
For detailed instructions about using BAT, refer to the
Cisco
Unified CallManager Administration Guide and to the
Cisco
Unified CallManager Bulk Administration Guide.

The Cisco Unified IP Phone can operate with SCCP (Skinny Client Control
Protocol) or SIP (Session Initiation Protocol). You can convert a phone that is
using one protocol for use with the other protocol.
