You must make sure that Auto-registration is enabled in Cisco CallManager
Administration (
System > Cisco CallManager
) for TAPS to function.
Refer to the
Bulk Administration Tool User Guide for Cisco CallManager
for
detailed instructions about both BAT and TAPS.
Using a Version of TAPS that is Included with Cisco CallManager 3.3.3
If you want to use a version of TAPS that is included with Cisco CallManager
3.3.3 to add a Cisco IP Communicator device to the database for a user who
already has a hardware Cisco IP Phone, and if the Cisco IP Communicator device
will use the same phone number as the hardware phone, then you need to take the
following steps:
1.
Use a different external phone mask to add Cisco IP Communicator.
2.
After TAPS registration is complete, change back to the original external
phone mask.

Adding Devices with Cisco CallManager Administration
Use this method to add devices individually to the Cisco CallManager database
using Cisco CallManager Administration web pages.
To do so, you need to first collect the appropriate MAC address from the network
interface for each client on which you want the Cisco IP Communicator
application installed. See the
“Collecting MAC Addresses Before Adding
Devices” section on page 2-14
for more information.
After you have collected MAC addresses, choose
Device > Add a New Device
in
Cisco CallManager Administration. For complete instructions and conceptual
information about Cisco CallManager, refer to the
Cisco CallManager
Administration Guide
and the
Cisco CallManager System Guide
.
