Manual Phone Registration

Manual Phone Registration Overview

To manually register a new Cisco IP Phone, you must add the phone to the Unified Communications Manager node using Unified Communications Manager, then configure the directory number for the phone.

You should have already set up the new phone with the proxy TFTP server IP address so that the new phone knows how to locate the Unified Communications Manager node. See the Cisco IP Phone Administration Guide for your phone series.

What to do next

Configure a Directory Number Manually for a Phone

Configure a Directory Number Manually for a Phone

There are multiple ways to manually add and configure a directory number (DN) using Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.

  • From the Directory Number Configuration window using Call Routing > Directory Number.

  • From the Phone Configuration window using Device > Phone when you select either Line [1] - Add a new DN or Line [2] - Add a new DN link in the Association Information area.

  • From the Phone Configuration window using Call Routing > Phone after you add the phone under call routing.

  • From the CTI Route Point Configuration window when you configure a CTI route point using Device > CTI Route Point.

This procedure assumes that you are configuring a DN for a new phone using the Phone Configuration window that appeared after you added the new phone to the Unified Communications Manager node.

Only the settings that apply to your phone model display using this method.


Tip

You can configure phone features at the same time that you add the new DN for the phone. To see all available DN settings, you must access the Directory Number Configuration window from call routing in the user interface.

Before you begin

The phone is added to the node. The Phone Configuration window should still be visible for the new phone that you are registering.

If your system uses partitions, collect the route partition and calling search space information to use for the new phone.

Procedure

Step 1

Click Line [1] - Add a new DN in the Association area of the Phone Configuration window.

Tip

 

If the Phone Configuration window is not already visible, select Device > Phone, then click Find and select the phone from the list of phones.

Step 2

In the Directory Number Configuration window, enter a dialable phone number in the Directory Number field.

Step 3

(Optional) Select a partition in the Route Partition field.

Step 4

(Optional) Select a calling search space in the Calling Search Space field in the Directory Number Settings area.

Step 5

(Optional) Configure other directory number features as applicable for the new phone, then click Save.

For example, if you already know the user name for the new phone, you can enter that in the Display (Caller ID) field. See the online help for field descriptions.
