Chapter 2 Getting Started with Your Cisco SIP IP Phone

Installing the Cisco SIP IP Phone

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 2-16.

Before You Begin

Connect your phone as described in the “Connecting the Phone” section on page 2-16.

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 2-21.

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.

Procedure

Step 1 Press the settings key. The Settings menu is displayed.

Step 2 Highlight SIP Configuration. The SIP Configuration menu is displayed.

Step 3 Highlight Line 1 Settings.

Step 4 Press the Select soft key. The Line 1 Configuration menu is displayed.
