•Display Name—(Optional) Identification as it should appear for caller-identification purposes. For example, instead of jdoe@company.com displaying on phones that have caller ID, you can specify John Doe in this parameter to have John Doe display on the callee end instead. If a value is not specified for this parameter, the Name value is used.
•Proxy Address—(Required) IP address of the primary SIP proxy server that will be used by the phone. Enter this address in IP dotted-decimal notation.
•Proxy Port—(Optional) Port number of the primary SIP proxy server. This is the port on which the SIP client will listen for messages. The default is 5060.
Step 6 Press the Back soft key exit the Line 1 Configuration menu.
Step 7 To configure additional lines on the phone, highlight the next Line x Settings, press the Select soft key and repeat Step 5 and Step 6, and then continue with Step 8.
Step 8 In addition to the line settings, you can highlight and press Select to configure the following parameters on the SIP Configuration menu:
•Message URI—Number to call to check voicemail. This number will be called when the Messages key is pressed.
•Preferred Codec—(Optional) CODEC to use when initiating a call. Valid values are g711alaw, g711ulaw, and g729a. The default is g711ulaw.
•Out of Band DTMF—(Optional) Whether to detect and generate the out-of-band signaling (for tone detection on the IP side of a gateway) and if so, when. The Cisco SIP IP phone supports out-of-bound signaling via the AVT tone method. Valid values are:
–none—Do not generate DTMF digits out-of-band.
–avt—If requested by the remote side, generate DTMF digits out-of-band (and disable in-band DTMF signaling), otherwise, do not generate DTMF digits out-of-band.
–avt_always—Always generate DTMF digits out-of-band. This option disables in-band DTMF signaling.
The default is avt.
