Add multiple IP Phones to single partitions/Css at one time ?

[renzil]

Hi All,

Is there a method by which i can add around 50 Ip Phones to a particular partition and CSS at one go. I have already created the partition and the CSS ??

Thanks

You can do this using BAT. First create a phone template in BAT in which you will assign the CSS and partition. Then when you are ready to insert the phones select the template you created.

What version of CallManager, if it's 3.X you can do it the way mparekh described, if it is 4.X you also use BAT but no longer need to create template, simply "update phones".

hi, Thanks for the info. In my case, the phones have already registered using autoregistration with no partition/Css. Is there any solution for these registered phones ?

I got that from your original post, you can use BAT to perform bulk edit just as I suggested, what version of CCM do you have as it is a little different procedure for 3.X vs 4.X?
