Phone Based Registration Feature Reference

Setup a phone for Phone Based Registration

In this case we provision a phone with a fake MAC address, e.g. BAT000008012005 using bulk loaders or the VOSS Automate Admin portal. An optional Phone Based Registration (PBR) device record can be provisioned that provides the following functionality:

  1. Configure a PIN code that can be used to authenticate requests to register phones with Phone Based Registration.
  2. Assist with unique identification of device to replace where directory numbers are not unique within a Call Manager Cluster.

Register a phone with Phone Based Registration

Assuming the Phone is correctly setup the following steps are required to register a phone with the Phone Based Registration Add-On.

  1. Auto Register a physical phone with Cisco Call Manager.
  2. Access the Phone Services Menu on the Auto Registered Phone.
  3. Select Register Phone menu option.
  4. Enter extension and PIN (if required).
  5. Submit request.

This initiates a request to VOSS Automate to replace the configuration of the Auto Registered Phone with the rich settings defined for the pre-provisioned device with fake MAC.

Detail Phone Based Provisioning Steps

  1. Provision a phone with a fake MAC Address:

    1. In this case we'll use Quick Add Subscriber, but VOSS Automate Phone Management or Advanced Subscriber features can also be used.
    2. The fake MAC address must have a BAT prefix, e.g. BATABCABCABCABC.
  2. Provision a PBR Device Record for the phone with a PIN:

    1. Browse to Subscriber Management > PBR Phones and PINS > Add.
    2. Specify the Device Name of the pre-provisioned device with the fake MAC.
    3. Route Partition is not required unless Site-Wide PIN.
  3. Auto Register the Phone on CUCM:

  4. Select Phone Services and then Register Phone:

    1. Enter Extension and PIN.
    2. Submit.
  5. The Phone screen should now show Registering Phone.

  6. The VOSS Automate Transaction log should now show a Register Phone Transaction.

    Note

    • The PBR Device Record is deleted (if you need to re-register this phone then a new record is required).
    • The device name of the pre-provisioned phone (BATDONALDS) is updated to match the name of the autoregistered phone.
  7. Upon completion of the transaction the phone should reboot and show the device configuration of the pre-provisioned phone.
