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:
Configure a PIN code that can be used to authenticate requests to register phones with Phone Based Registration.
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 Phone Based Registration (PBR).
Auto Register a physical phone with Cisco Call Manager.
Access the Phone Services Menu on the Auto Registered Phone.
Select Register Phone menu option.
Enter extension and PIN (if required).
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.
