Table 2-1 Manual SIP Configuration Parameters 
Parameter Required or Optional Description
Name Required Number or e-mail address used when registering. 
When entering a number, enter the number without any 
dashes. For example, enter 555-1212 as 5551212. 
When entering an e-mail address, enter the e-mail ID 
without the host name.
Shortname Optional Name or number associated with the linex_name as 
you want it to display on the phone’s LCD if the 
linex_name value exceeds the display area. For 
example, if the linex_name value is the phone number 
111-222-333-4444, you can specify 34444 for this 
parameter to have 3444 display on the LCD instead. 
Alternately, if the value for the linex_name parameter 
is the email address “username@company.com,” you 
can specify the “username” to have just the user name 
appear on the LCD instead. This parameter is used for 
display purposes only. If a value is not specified for 
this parameter, the value in the Name variable is 
displayed.
Authentication 
Name
Required when 
registration is enabled
Name used by the phone for authentication if a 
registration is challenged by the proxy server during 
initialization. If a value is not configured for the 
Authentication Name parameter when registration is 
enabled, the default name is used. The default name is 
UNPROVISIONED.
Authentication 
Password
Required when 
registration is enabled
Password used by the phone for authentication if a 
registration is challenged by the proxy server during 
initialization. If a value is not configured for the 
Authentication Password parameter when registration 
is enabled, the default logical password is used. The 
default password is UNPROVISIONED.
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 called party end 
instead. If a value is not specified for this parameter, 
the Name value is used.
