Step Action Description
1. INVITE—Cisco SIP IP phone A
to Cisco SIP IP phone B
Cisco SIP IP phone A sends a SIP INVITE request to Cisco SIP IP phone B. The
INVITE request is an invitation to User B to participate in a call session.
In the INVITE request:
• The phone number of User B is inserted in the Request-URI field in the form
of a SIP URL. The SIP URL identifies the address of User B and takes a form
similar to an e-mail address (user@host, where user is the telephone number
and host is either a domain name or a numeric network address). For example,
the Request-URI field in the INVITE request to User B appears as “INVITE
sip:555-0002@companyb.com; user=phone.” The “user=phone” parameter
distinquishes that the Request-URI address is a telephone number rather than
a username.
• Cisco SIP IP phone A is identified as the call session initiator in the From
field.
• A unique numeric identifier is assigned to the call and is inserted in the
Call-ID field.
• The transaction number within a single call leg is identified in the CSeq field.
• The media capability User A is ready to receive is specified.
2. 486 Busy Here—Cisco SIP IP
phone B to Cisco SIP IP phone A

willing or able to take additional calls.

Cisco SIP IP phone B
Cisco SIP IP phone A sends a SIP ACK to the Cisco SIP IP phone B. The ACK
