profiles. TAPS options include auto-registration, TAPS secure directory number, and user locales for

auto-registered phone support.

Configure TAPS auto-registration

The Configure TAPS option provides two ways to use TAPS to update phones that auto-register with the

Cisco Unified Communications Manager database.

• For phones that are added by using BAT and have a dummy MAC address.

• For existing phones in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration

The default setting limits use of TAPS to phones that have a dummy MAC address with a device name that

starts with the prefix “BAT.”

You can set the Configure TAPS option to allow any phone to auto-register in the Cisco Unified

Communications Manager system, including phones that have a standard MAC address.

When you use TAPS, it leads to the depletion of auto-registration range on the Cisco Unified

Communications Manager. After update through TAPS, the auto-registered directory number (DN) of the

phone becomes an unassigned DN. You should delete unassigned DNs using BAT periodically to free up

the auto-registration range. For more information, refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager

Administration Guide.
