Creating a SIP Profile
Adding Phones with BAT
The Cisco Unified 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.
To add phones using BAT only (not in conjunction with TAPS), you first need to
obtain the appropriate MAC address for each phone. See the
“Determining the
MAC Address of a Cisco Unified IP Phone” section on page 2-12 for instructions.
For detailed instructions about using BAT, refer to Cisco Unified CallManager
Administration Guide and to Cisco Unified CallManager Bulk Administration
Guide.

Creating a SIP Profile
Each SIP IP phone on the network must be associated with a SIP profile. To create
a SIP profile, navigate from Cisco Unified CallManager Administration to Device
> Device Settings > SIP Profile. Most fields on the SIP Profile Configuration
screen contain default values that you can use. However, some fields require
configuration.
For complete information about SIP profiles and the SIP Profile Configuration
screen, refer to the Cisco Unified CallManager Administration Guide.
To create a unique SIP profile for a phone on your network, follow these steps:
Procedure
Step 1 Click Copy to the right of the screen containing an existing SIP Profile.
Step 2 Make changes in the applicable fields that are specific to your new SIP profile.
Step 3 Name the unique SIP profile with a descriptive name.
