Cisco TAPS Service

This service does not support Cisco Unity Connection or IM and Presence Service.

The Cisco Tools for Auto-Registered Phones Support (TAPS) Service supports the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Auto-Register Phone Tool, which allows a user to upload a customized configuration on an auto registered phone after a user responds to Interactive Voice Response (IVR) prompts.

If your configuration supports clusters (Cisco Unified Communications Manager only), you activate this service on the first server. When you want to create dummy MAC addresses for the tool, ensure that the Cisco Bulk Provisioning Service is activated on the same server.

Tip	The Cisco Unified Communications Manager Auto-Register Phone Tool relies on Cisco Customer Response Solutions (CRS). Before the tool can work as designed, verify that the CRS server is configured and running, as described in the CRS documentation.
