A
 
SPA525-protocol 
(Cisco SPA525G or 
Cisco SPA525G2 only)
Allows you to choose the type of protocol for the 
phone:
• SIP—Session Initiation Protocol. Choose if the 
phone is used with a SIP call control system, such 
as the 
Cisco SPA9000 or a SIP call control system 
from another provider such as BroadSoft or 
Asterisk.
• SPCP—Smart Phone Control Protocol. Choose if 
the phone is used with a Cisco Unified 
Communications Series server, such as the Cisco 
Unified Communications 500 Series for Small 
Business.
SPA525-auto-detect-sccp 
(Cisco SPA525G or 
Cisco SPA525G2 only)
Choose if the phone should automatically detect 
the type of protocol used on the network to which 
it is connected. If set to yes, the phone 
automatically discovers if it is connected to a call 
control system using SPCP.
SPA525-readonly 
(Cisco SPA525G or 
Cisco SPA525G2 only)
If set to yes, the Signaling Protocol and Auto 
Detect SCCP Settings on the phone are read only. 
If set to no, the above settings on the phone can 
be changed by the end user.
Phone-UI-user-mode Allows you to restrict the menus and options that 
phone users see when they use the phone 
interface. Choose yes to enable this parameter 
and restrict access. The default is no.
Specific parameters are then designated as “na” 
or “ro” using provisioning files. Parameters 
designated as “na” will not appear on the phone 
interface. Parameters designated as “ro” will not 
be editable by the user.
WiFi User Access Mode
(Cisco SPA525G or 
Cisco SPA525G2 only)
Setting the parameter to yes allows a user to view 
and configure Wi-Fi settings, even if the user 
cannot change other phone parameters because 
the Phone-UI-user-mode parameter is set to yes.
If set to no, users cannot view and configure WiFi 
settings if the Phone-UI-user-mode parameter is 
set to yes.
