Introducing Cisco Unified CM Auto-Register Phone Tool

Unified CM Auto-Register Phone Tool components get installed on the Cisco Unified CallManager first node as part of the Cisco Unified CallManager installation. You must enable auto-registration in Cisco Unified CallManager Serviceability for Unified CM Auto-Register Phone Tool to function.

Note When you use Unified CM Auto-Register Phone Tool, it leads to the depletion of auto-registration range on the Cisco Unified CallManager. After update through Unified CM Auto-Register Phone Tool, the auto-registered directory number (DN) of the phone becomes an unassigned DN. You should delete unassigned DNs using BAT periodically to free up the auto-registration range. For more information, refer to Cisco Unified CallManager Administration Guide.

You must install Unified CM Auto-Register Phone Tool application on the Cisco Customer Response Solutions (Cisco CRS) server. Unified CM Auto-Register Phone Tool requires the Cisco IP Interactive Voice Response (IP IVR) application that runs on the Cisco CRS server for the user interface and prompts.

Administrators need to provide instructions to tell end users how to use Unified CM Auto-Register Phone Tool to configure their new phones. For end user instructions, see the "Unified CM Auto-Register Phone Tool Information for End Users" section on page 53-2

•Reload the configuration for replacement phones.

Use the following topics.

•Using Unified CM Auto-Register Phone Tool with New Phones

•Using Unified CM Auto-Register Phone Tool for Reloading Configurations

Using Unified CM Auto-Register Phone Tool with New Phones

After BAT has added the new phone configurations with dummy MAC addresses in Cisco Unified CallManager Administration, you can plug the phones into the network. You or the phone user can dial a Unified CM Auto-Register Phone Tool directory number that causes the phone to download its configuration. At the same time, the phone gets updated in Cisco Unified CallManager Administration with the correct MAC address. You must make sure that Auto-registration is enabled in Cisco Unified CallManager Administration for Unified CM Auto-Register Phone Tool to function.

Note When you use Unified CM Auto-Register Phone Tool, it leads to the depletion of auto-registration range on the Cisco Unified CallManager. After update through Unified CM Auto-Register Phone Tool, the auto-registered directory number (DN) of the phone becomes an unassigned DN. You should delete unassigned DNs using BAT periodically to free up the auto-registration range. For more information, refer to Cisco Unified CallManager Administration Guide.

Example

You have 100 new-hire employees starting on Monday. You must add these users and their new phones to Cisco Unified CallManager Administration. You can use BAT to create a phone template for these 100 phones and a CSV data file for phones and users. By using the dummy MAC address option in the CSV data file, you do not need to add the individual MAC addresses for the new phones. With auto-registration enabled in Cisco Unified CallManager, you can plug the phones directly into the network. You or the new employee can load the configuration by dialing the Unified CM Auto-Register Phone Tool directory number and following the voice-prompt instructions.

Using Unified CM Auto-Register Phone Tool for Reloading Configurations

When you must replace an existing phone that is not functioning, you can use Unified CM Auto-Register Phone Tool to download the existing phone configuration to the new phone. After the user receives the new phone and plugs the phone into the network, the user dials the Unified CM Auto-Register Phone Tool directory number to download configuration for the previous phone. The user makes no configuration changes during this process.

In Cisco Unified CallManager Administration, you must enable auto-registration. You must ensure that you configure Unified CM Auto-Register Phone Tool usage for all phones to enable a user to download an existing phone configuration. See the "Configuring Auto-Registration Options for Unified CM Auto-Register Phone Tool" section.

Note When you use Unified CM Auto-Register Phone Tool, it leads to the depletion of auto-registration range on the Cisco Unified CallManager. After update through Unified CM Auto-Register Phone Tool, the auto-registered directory number (DN) of the phone becomes an unassigned DN. You should delete unassigned DNs using BAT periodically to free up the auto-registration range. For more information, refer to Cisco Unified CallManager Administration Guide.

Example

John's Cisco Unified IP Phone model 7940 gets short-circuited during a lightning storm. He receives a new Cisco Unified IP Phone model 7940 and plugs it into the network. John can dial the Unified CM Auto-Register Phone Tool directory number, and the new phone will download the configuration that was previously used for the damaged phone. Unified CM Auto-Register Phone Tool automatically updates device information in Cisco Unified CallManager Administration.

Additional Topics

See the "Related Topics" section.

Secured Directory Numbers

Because Unified CM Auto-Register Phone Tool can replace a directory number, you can protect certain directory numbers from being overwritten. To protect important directory numbers, you can use the Secure Unified CM Auto-Register Phone Tool option. See the "Setting Secure Directory Numbers" section for more information.

Example

The directory number 5000 provides voice-messaging access for your system. You do not want a new user to mistakenly configure 5000 on the new phone. The Secure Unified CM Auto-Register Phone Tool option allows you to specify that Unified CM Auto-Register Phone Tool cannot access directory number "5000."

Additional Topics

See the "Related Topics" section.

Language Prompts for Unified CM Auto-Register Phone Tool Users

You can configure user prompts for Unified CM Auto-Register Phone Tool to play in several languages. Administrators can choose the languages to make available to users. See the "Setting the User Locales for Unified CM Auto-Register Phone Tool" section on page 53-1.
