Cisco 8851/8800 Batch Add

[dtom]

We have used the Cisco Bulk Administration tool to add Cisco 8851 phones.  Now we have purchased some 8851 phones and 8800 expansion modules.  Is there a way to add both the 8851 phone and 8800 expansion modules or do we have to enter all of the numbers manually (for the 8800)?

You can use BAT to add the phones/modules as well as update the speed dials.

Use the Module 1 and Module 2 fields in the BAT file to add expansion module information.
