Using Cisco Unified IP Phones with Different Protocols
Using Cisco Unified IP Phones with Different Protocols
The Cisco Unified IP Phone can operate with SCCP (Skinny Client Control Protocol) or SIP (Session
Initiation Protocol). You can convert a phone that is using one protocol for use with the other protocol.
This section includes these topics:
• Converting a New Phone from SCCP to SIP, page 2-12
• Converting an In-Use Phone from SCCP to SIP, page 2-12
• Converting an In-Use Phone from SIP to SCCP, page 2-13
• Deploying a Phone in an SCCP and SIP Environment, page 2-13
Converting a New Phone from SCCP to SIP
A new, unused phone is set for SCCP by default. To convert this phone to SIP, perform these steps:
Procedure
Step 1 Take one of these actions:
• To auto-register the phone, set the Auto Registration Phone Protocol parameter in Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Administration to SIP.
• To provision the phone using the Bulk Administration Tool (BAT), choose the appropriate phone
model and choose SIP from the BAT.
• To provision the phone manually, make the appropriate changes for SIP on the Phone Configuration
page in Cisco
Unified Communications Manager Administration.
Refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide for detailed information about
Cisco
Unified Communications Manager configuration. Refer to Cisco Unified Communications
Manager Bulk Administration Guide for detailed information about using the BAT.
Step 2 If you are not using DHCP in your network, configure the network parameters for the phone.
See the “Configuring Startup Network Settings” section on page 3-14.
Step 3 Power cycle the phone.
Converting an In-Use Phone from SCCP to SIP
You can use the Bulk Administration Tool (BAT) to convert a phone that is in use in your network from
SCCP to SIP. To access BAT from Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, choose
Bulk Administration > Phones > Migrate Phones > SCCP to SIP. For detailed information, refer to
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration Guide.
