TAPS overview
The Tool for Auto-Registered Phones Support (TAPS) enables phone users to call the TAPS directory number
and download the preconfigured phone settings for the user's directory number. TAPS works in conjunction
with Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration to provide these capabilities:
• Configure TAPS—Allows you to enable TAPS usage for all phones that use auto-registration or to limit
TAPS to only phones that are added through BAT with dummy MAC addresses.
• Secure TAPS—Allows you to keep some directory numbers from being updated through TAPS.
• User Locales for TAPS—Allows you to choose the languages for TAPS prompts.
TAPS components get installed on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager first node as part of the Cisco
Unified Communications Manager installation. You must enable auto-registration in Cisco Unified
Communications Manager for TAPS to function. In addition, you must enable the CallManager service on
the first node, even if the first node is not being used to register phones.
