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

header field.
