Chapter 3 Managing Cisco SIP IP Phones
Modifying the Phone’s SIP Settings
Procedure
Step 1 Using an ASCII editor, create a phone-specific configuration file for each phone that you plan to install. In the phone-specific configuration file, define values for the following SIP parameters (where x a number 1 through 6):
•linex_name—(Required) Number or e-mail address used when registering. When entering a number, enter the number without any dashes. For example, enter 555-1212 as 5551212. When entering an e-mail address, enter the e-mail ID without the host name.
•linex_shortname—(Optional) Name or number associated with the
linex_name as you want it to display on the phone’s LCD if the linex_name length exceeds the allowable space in the display area. For example, if the linex_name value is the phone number 111-222-333-4444, you can specify 34444 for this parameter to have 3444 display on the LCD instead. Alternately, if the value for the linex_name parameter is the email address “username@company.com”, you can specify the “username” to have just the user name appear on the LCD instead.
This parameter is used for display-only purposes. If a value is not specified for this parameter, the value in the linex_name variable is displayed.
•linex_authname—(Required for line 1 when registration is enabled and the proxy server requires authentication) Name used by the phone for authentication if a registration is challenged by the proxy server during initialization. If a value is not configured for the linex_authname parameter for a line when registration is enabled, the value defined for line 1 is used. If a value is not defined for line 1, the default line1_authname is
UNPROVISIONED.
•linex_password—(Required for line 1 when registration is enabled and the proxy server requires authentication) Password used by the phone for authentication if a registration is challenged by the proxy server during initialization. If a value is not configured for the linex_password parameter for a line when registration is enabled, the value defined for line 1 is used. If a value is not defined for line 1, the default line1_password is
UNPROVISIONED.
