First important thing is that administrative web environment consist from 5 interfaces as you can see from next picture 

Auto registration is disabled by default against default behavior of small brother CUCME (up to 400 in ISR G2 routers older ISR routers support up to 250 clients).

Next steps enable auto registration on single CUCM installation environment (act as single publisher with no subscribers for redundancy).
