Cisco IP Phones as full-featured telephones can plug directly into your IP
network. You can use the Cisco CallManager Administration phone configuration
windows to configure the following Cisco IP Phones and devices:
• Cisco IP Phone 7900 family (models 7960, 7940, 7935, 7936, 7920, 7910,
and 7905)
• Cisco IP Phone model 30 VIP
• Cisco IP Phone model 12 SP+
• H.323 clients
• Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) ports
• Cisco ATA 186 telephone adapter
• Cisco VG248 Analog Phone Gateway
OL-5378-01
NoteYou configure the Cisco VG248 phone ports from the Gateway
Configuration window of Cisco CallManager Administration. The
following procedures apply for updating or deleting
Cisco VG248 phone ports. See the “Gateway Configuration” section
on page 44-1 for Cisco VG248 gateway configuration information.
After you add a Cisco IP Phone to Cisco CallManager Administration,
information from the RIS Data Collector service displays in the Phone
Configuration window. When available, the IP address of the device and the name
of the Cisco CallManager with which the device registered display.

Configuring Cisco IP Phones
You can automatically add phones to the Cisco CallManager database by using
auto-registration, manually add phones by using the phone configuration
windows, or add phones in groups with the Cisco Bulk Administration Tool
(BAT). By enabling auto-registration, you can automatically add a Cisco IP Phone
to the Cisco CallManager database when you connect the phone to your IP
telephony network. During auto-registration, Cisco CallManager assigns the next
available sequential directory number to the phone. In many cases, you might not
want to use auto-registration; for example, if you want to assign a specific
directory number to a phone. If you do not use auto-registration, you must
manually add phones to the Cisco CallManager database or use BAT. BAT, a
plug-in application, makes it possible for system administrators to perform batch
add, modify, and delete operations on large numbers of Cisco IP Phones. Refer to
the Bulk Administration Tool Guide for Cisco CallManager for detailed
instructions on using BAT.
After you add a Cisco IP Phone to Cisco CallManager Administration, the RIS
Data Collector service displays the device name, registration status, and the IP
address of the Cisco CallManager to which the phone is registered in the Phone
Configuration window.

Displaying the MAC Address of a Phone
The Media Access Control (MAC) address comprises a unique, 12-character,
hexadecimal number that identifies a Cisco IP Phone or other hardware device.
Locate the number on a label on the bottom of the phone (for example,
000B6A409C405 for Cisco IP Phone 7900 family models or
SS-00-0B-64-09-C4-05 for Cisco IP Phone models SP 12+ and 30 VIP).
Cisco CallManager makes the MAC address a required field for Cisco IP Phone
device configuration. When entering the MAC address in Cisco CallManager
fields, do not use spaces or dashes and do not include the “SS” that may precede
the MAC address on the label.

To display the MAC address when the phone is powered on, refer to the Cisco IP

Adding a Phone
Before a Cisco IP Phone can be used, you must use this procedure to add the
phone to Cisco CallManager. You can also use this procedure to configure H.323
clients, CTI ports, Cisco ATA 186 telephone adapter, or the Cisco VG248 Analog
Phone Gateway (each of the 48 ports is recognized and configured as a phone).
H.323 clients can be Symbol NetVision phones or Microsoft NetMeeting clients.
CTI ports designate virtual devices that Cisco CallManager applications such as
Cisco SoftPhone and Cisco AutoAttendant use.
NoteIf you are planning to use a TAPI application to control CTI port devices that are
using the Cisco TAPI Service Provider (TSP), then you may only configure one
line per CTI port device.

• Shifting the MAC address two places to the left
• Adding the two-digit port number to the end of the

search space comprises a collection of partitions that are
searched for numbers that are called from this directory
number. The value that you choose applies to all devices
that are using this directory number.
NoteChanges result in an update of the numbers that
are listed in the Call Pickup Group field.
You can configure calling search space for Forward All,
Forward Busy, Forward No Answer, and Forward on
Failure directory numbers. The value that you choose
applies to all devices that are using this directory
number.
If you set the Forward All Calling Search Space field to
<none>, Cisco CallManager uses the calling search
spaces of the line and the phone when the user forwards
calls by using the Cisco IP Phone User Options windows
or the CFwdAll softkey on the phone. If you want to
restrict users from forwarding calls on their phones, you
must choose a restrictive calling search space from the
Forward All Calling Search Space field; for example:
You have two calling search spaces: Building and PSTN.
The Building calling search space only allows users to
call within the building, while the PSTN calling search
space allows users to call within and outside the building.
You assign the phone to the PSTN calling search space
and the line on your phone to the Building calling search
space. If you set the Call Forward All calling search
space to <none>, the Cisco CallManager can forward
calls to any number within the PSTN or building calling
search spaces. To prevent the user from forwarding calls
to numbers outside the building, set the Call Forward All
calling search space to Building.
