Gathering information and adding devices to Cisco CallManager
1.
For each device, gather the
following information:
• User(s) in the
Cisco CallManager database
to associate with it
• Lines and directory numbers
to assign to it
• Features to be added to and
configured for it
• The device pool, calling
search space, and other data
for the Device Information
field (if applicable)
Optional. You can use this
information to configure
devices in Cisco CallManager
Administration web
application.
The Device Information fields
in the Device Configuration
page will auto-populate if
information is relevant and
available. Edit fields only if
you want to override system
settings on a per-device basis.

Services, page 5-1

Guide

Administration Guide
2. Decide which method you
want to use to add devices to
the Cisco CallManager
database (see the far right
column for details):
• Auto-registration
• Cisco CallManager
Administration only
• Bulk Administration Tool
(BAT) only
• BAT and the Tool for
Auto-Registered Phones
Support (TAPS)
Adding devices is required.
The method that you use to add
devices to Cisco CallManager
determines how the directory
number is assigned and
whether you need to obtain a
MAC address from a network
interface.
If you do not use
auto-registration or TAPS to
add a devices, you must add
the device to
Cisco CallManager before
deploying the application.

3. Gather the MAC address
from the appropriate
network interface on the
client PC, if necessary.
Not necessary if you use
auto-registration or TAPS.
