See Table 43-6for configuration requirements. For information on SIP Profiles and SIP Dial Rules, see SIP Dial Rules Configuration and SIP Profile Configuration in the Cisco Unified CallManager Administration Guide.

Software-based Cisco Unified CallManager applications such as Cisco SoftPhone, Cisco AutoAttendant, and Cisco IP Interactive Voice Response (IVR) use CTI ports that are virtual devices.
