Chapter 3 Managing Cisco SIP IP Phones

Modifying the Phone’s SIP Settings

Step 2 Save the file to your TFTP server (in the root directory or a subdirectory containing all the phone-specific configuration files). Name the file

“SIP XXXXYYYYZZZZ.cnf” where XXXXYYYYZZZZ is the MAC address of the phone. The MAC address must be in uppercase and the extension, cnf, must be in lower case (for example, SIP00503EFFD842.cnf).

The following is an example of a configuration file:

;phone-specific configuration file sample

;Line 1 phone number

line1_name : 5551212

;Line 1 name for authentication with proxy server line1_authname : 5551212

;Line 1 authentication name password

line1_password : password

Modifying the SIP Parameters Manually

If you did not configure the SIP parameters via a TFTP server, you can configure them manually after you have connected the phone.

Before You Begin

•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.

•Line parameters (those identified as linex) define a line on the phone. If you configure a line to use an e-mail address, that line can be called only using an e-mail address. Similarly, if you configure a line to use a number, that line can only be called using the number.
