Adding Phones with Auto-Registration
By enabling auto-registration before you begin installing phones, you can:
• Add phones without first gathering MAC addresses from the phones.
• Automatically add a Cisco Unified IP Phone to the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager database when you physically connect the phone
to your IP telephony network. During auto-registration, Cisco Unified
Communications Manager assigns the next available sequential directory
number to the phone.
• Quickly enter phones into the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
database and modify any settings, such as the directory numbers, from
Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
• Move auto-registered phones to new locations and assign them to different
device pools without affecting their directory numbers.
