Manual SIP Configuration Parameters
Parameter
Required or Optional
Description
Name
Required
Number or e-mail address used when registering.
When entering a number, enter the number without any
dashes. For example, enter 555-1212 as 5551212.
When entering an e-mail address, enter the e-mail ID
without the host name.
Shortname
Optional
Name or number associated with the linex_name as
you want it to display on the phone’s LCD if the
linex_name value exceeds the display area. For
example, if the linex_name value is the phone number
111-222-333-4444, you can specify 34444 for this
parameter to have 3444 display on the LCD instead.
Alternately, if the value for the linex_name parameter
is the email address “[email protected],” you
can specify the “username” to have just the user name
appear on the LCD instead. This parameter is used for
display purposes only. If a value is not specified for
this parameter, the value in the Name variable is
displayed.
Authentication
Name
Required when
registration is enabled
Name used by the phone for authentication if a
registration is challenged by the proxy server during
initialization. If a value is not configured for the
Authentication Name parameter when registration is
enabled, the default name is used. The default name is
UNPROVISIONED.
Authentication
Password
Required when
registration is enabled
Password used by the phone for authentication if a
registration is challenged by the proxy server during
initialization. If a value is not configured for the
Authentication Password parameter when registration
is enabled, the default logical password is used. The
default password is UNPROVISIONED.
Display Name
Optional
Identification as it should appear for
caller-identification purposes. For example, instead of
[email protected] displaying on phones that have
caller ID, you can specify John Doe in this parameter
to have John Doe display on the called party end
instead. If a value is not specified for this parameter,
the Name value is used.
