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 Ye s  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.

required, you must specify values for the Authentication 
Name and Authentication Password parameters.
