Chapter 2 Preparing to Install the Conference Station on Your Network Adding Conference Stations to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Database Note You should use auto-registration to add less than 100 conference stations to your network. To add more than 100 conference stations to your network, use BAT. See the "Adding Conference Stations with BAT" section on page 2-9. In some cases, you might not want to use auto-registration: for example, if you want to assign a specific directory number to the conference station or if you plan to implement authentication or encryption, as described in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide. For information about enabling auto-registration, refer to "Enabling Auto-Registration" in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide.

TAPS works with BAT to update a batch of conference stations that were already added to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database with dummy MAC addresses. You use TAPS to update MAC addresses and download pre-defined configurations for conference stations. Note Cisco recommends you use auto-registration and TAPS to add less than 100 conference stations to your network. To add more than 100 conference stations to your network, use the Bulk Administration Tool (BAT). See the "Adding Conference Stations with BAT" section on page 2-9. To implement TAPS, you or the end-user dial a TAPS directory number and follow voice prompts. When the process is complete, the conference station will have downloaded its directory number and other settings, and the conference station will be updated in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration with the correct MAC address. Auto-registration must be enabled in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration for TAPS to function. Refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration Guide for detailed instructions about BAT and TAPS.
