Cisco SIP IP Phone Administrator Guide
Chapter 2 Getting Started with Your Cisco SIP IP Phone
Installing the Cisco SIP IP Phone
•
linex_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.
•
linex_authname—(Required when registration is enabled and the proxy server requires
authentication) 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 linex_authname parameter
when registration is enabled, the default name is used. The default name is UNPROVISIONED.
•
linex_password—(Required when registration is enabled and the proxy requires authentication)
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 linex_password parameter when registration
is enabled, the default logical password is used. The default logical password is UNPROVISIONED.
Step 2
Save the file to your TFTP server (in the root directory or a subdirectory containing all the phone-specific
configuration files). Name the file SIPXXXXYYYYZZZZ.cnf where XXXXYYYYZZZZ is the MAC address
of the phone. The MAC address must be in uppercase and the extension, cnf, must be in lowercase (for
example, SIP00503EFFD842.cnf).
The following is an example of a configuration file:
; phone-specific configuration file sample
; Line 1 phone number
line1_name : 5551212
; Line 1 name for authentication with proxy server
line1_authname : 5551212
; Line 1 authentication name password
line1_password : password
Manually Configuring the SIP Parameters
If you did not configure the SIP parameters via a TFTP server, you must manually configure them after
you have connected the phone as described in the
“Connecting the Phone” section on page 2-11
.
Before You Begin
•
Connect your phone as described in the
“Connecting the Phone” section on page 2-11
.
•
Unlock configuration mode as described in the
“Unlocking Configuration Mode” section on
page 3-2
. By default, the SIP parameters are locked to ensure that end users cannot modify settings
that might affect their call capabilities.
•
Review the guidelines on using the Cisco SIP IP phone menus documented in the
“Using the Cisco SIP IP Phone Menu Interface” section on page 2-15
.
•
When configuring the Preferred Codec and Out of Band DTMF parameters, press the Change soft
key until the option you desire is displayed and then press the Save soft key.
•
After making your changes, relock configuration mode as described in the
“Locking Configuration
Mode” section on page 3-2
.
•
For a complete list of the SIP parameters that you can configure, see the
“Modifying the Phone’s
SIP Settings” section on page 3-5
