CHAPTER 25
Phones with users
This chapter provides information about using Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration
to add a group of users and their phones on a Cisco Unified Communications Manager server in one bulk
transaction. You have two options for creating a CSV data file for the phones:
• Use the BAT spreadsheet (BAT.xlt) and export the data to the CSV format.
• Use a text editor to create a text file in CSV format (for experienced users).
You can access the Insert Phones with Users option by choosing Bulk Administration > Phones and Users
from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration main menu.
