200 OK—Cisco SIP IP phone B

Cisco SIP IP phone B sends a SIP 200 OK response to

 

to Cisco SIP IP phone A

Cisco SIP IP phone A. The 200 OK response notifies Cisco

 

 

SIP IP phone A that the connection has been made.

 

 

If Cisco SIP IP phone B supports the media capability

 

 

advertised in the INVITE message sent by Cisco SIP IP

 

 

phone A, it advertises the intersection of its own and Cisco

 

 

SIP IP phone A’s media capability in the 200 OK response.

 

 

If Cisco SIP IP phone B does not support the media

 

 

capability advertised by Cisco SIP IP phone A, it sends

 

 

back a 400 Bad Request response with a 304 Warning

 

 

header field.

ACK—Cisco SIP IP phone A to

Cisco SIP IP phone A sends a SIP ACK to Cisco SIP IP

 

Cisco SIP IP phone B

phone B. The ACK confirms that Cisco SIP IP phone A has

 

 

received the 200 OK response from Cisco SIP IP phone B.

 

 

The ACK might contain a message body with the final

 

 

session description to be used by Cisco SIP IP phone B. If

 

 

the message body of the ACK is empty, Cisco SIP IP

 

 

phone B uses the session description in the INVITE

 

 

request.

 

 

 

A two-way RTP channel is established between Cisco SIP IP phone A and Cisco SIP IP phone B. User B then selects the option to transfer the call to User C.

5

 

BYE—Cisco SIP IP phone B to

The call continues and then User B hangs up. Cisco SIP IP

 

 

Cisco SIP IP phone A

phone B sends a SIP BYE request to Cisco SIP IP phone A.

 

 

 

 

 

The SIP BYE request includes the Also header. The Also

 

 

 

 

 

header indicates that User C needs to be brought into the

 

 

 

 

 

call while User B hangs up. The header distinguishes the

 

 

 

 

 

call transfer BYE request from a normal disconnect BYE

 

 

 

 

 

disconnect BYE request.

 

 

 

 

6

 

200 OK—Cisco SIP IP phone A

Cisco SIP IP phone A sends a SIP 200 OK message to

 

 

to Cisco SIP IP phone B

Cisco SIP IP phone B. The 200 OK response notifies Cisco

 

 

 

 

 

SIP IP phone B that the BYE request has been received.

 

 

 

 

 

The call session between User A and User B is now

 

 

 

 

 

terminated.

 

 

 

 

The RTP channel between Cisco SIP IP phone A and Cisco SIP IP phone B is torn down.
