Using Cisco Unified IP Phones with Different Protocols

The Cisco Unified IP Phones can operate with SCCP (Skinny Client Control Protocol) or SIP (Session Initiation Protocol). You can convert a phone from using one protocol to using the other protocol.

This section includes these topics:

Converting a New Phone from SCCP to SIP

A new, unused phone is set for SCCP by default. To convert this phone to SIP, perform these steps:

Procedure

Step 1 Take one of these actions:

To auto-register the phone, set the Auto Registration Phone Protocol enterprise parameter in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration to SIP.

To provision the phone by using the Bulk Administration Tool (BAT), choose the appropriate phone model and choose SIP from BAT.

To provision the phone manually, make the appropriate changes for SIP on the Phone Configuration window in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration.

For more information on Cisco Unified Communications Manager configuration, see Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide. For more information on using BAT, see Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration Guide.

Step 2 If you are not using DHCP in your network, configure the network parameters for the phone.

See Configuring Startup Network Settings, page 3-15.

Step 3 Save the configuration updates, click Apply Config, click OK in the Apply Configuration Information window, and have the user power cycle the phone.
