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 2-15 .
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.
Auto-registration must be enabled in Cisco Unified CallManager Administration
(System > Cisco CallManager) for TAPS to function.
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.
Refer to Cisco Unified CallManager Bulk Administration Guide for detailed
instructions about BAT and about TAPS.

Adding Phones with Cisco Unified CallManager Administration
You can add phones individually to the Cisco Unified CallManager database
using Cisco Unified CallManager Administration. To do so, you first need to
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 2-18 .
