Chapter 3 Managing Cisco SIP IP Phones

Modifying the Phone’s SIP Settings

Register with Proxy—(Optional) Whether the phone must register with a proxy server during initialization. Valid values are Yes and No. Select the No soft key to disable registration during initialization. Select the Yes soft key to enable registration during initialization. The default is No.

After a phone has initialized and registered with a proxy server, changing the value of this parameter to No will unregister the phone from the proxy server. To reinitiate a registration, change the value of this parameter back to Yes.

Note If you enable registration, and authentication is required, you must specify values for the Authentication Name and Authentication Password parameters.

Register Expires—(Optional) The amount of time, in seconds, after which a REGISTRATION request will expire. This value is used the Expire header field. The valid value is any positive number, however, we recommend 3600 seconds. The default is 3600.

TFTP Directory—(Required if phone-specific configuration files are located in a subdirectory) Path to the TFTP subdirectory in which phone-specific configuration files are stored.

Phone Label—(Optional) Label to display on the top status line of the LCD. This field is for end-user display only purposes. For example, a phone’s label can display “John Doe’s phone.”

Step 9 When done, press the Save soft key to save your changes and exit the SIP Configuration menu.

Caution When you have completed your changes, ensure that you lock the phone as described in the “Locking Configuration Mode” section on page 3-2.
