Create text-based CSV file for Cisco Catalyst 6000 FXS ports
You can create a CSV text file for Cisco Catalyst 6000 FXS ports using a text editor, such as Microsoft
Notepad.
Instead of using the BAT spreadsheet for data input when you are adding Cisco Catalyst 6000 FXS ports, you
can create the comma-separated values (CSV) file by using lines of ASCII text with values separated by
commas. You must use the appropriate file format for the type of gateway.
Procedure
Step 1
Open a text editor or any application that allows you to export or create a text-based CSV file.
Step 2
Using a separate line for each port, enter the values for each port that you want to add to Cisco Unified
Communications Manager.
An error occurs if any blank lines exist in the CSV
file.
Note
Step 3
While saving your CSV file, choose to save it as UTF-8 encoded. In Notepad, you can select encoding as
UTF-8 from the Encoding dropdown.
What to Do Next
Upload the CSV file to the first node server for Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

The CSV file contains information about each port as a record. Each record specifies the gateway MAC
address and port number on that gateway to which you want to add or update the port details.
BAT does not add Cisco Catalyst 6000 (FXS) gateways. It only adds or updates ports to an existing
gateway.
Note
For the MAC address, enter no MAC address values for an existing Cisco Catalyst 6000 (FXS) gateway. This
MAC address uses the last 12 characters in the Gateway Name.
If you provide no values for Partition for any record on the CSV file, the system uses values from the BAT
template for these fields.
The following sample format shows the required field length and string types followed by examples of CSV
files for Catalyst 6000 (FXS) ports.
