SIP uses six request methods: 
INVITE—Indicates a user is being invited to participate in a call session. 
ACK—Confirms that the client has received a final response to an INVITE request. 
BYE—Terminates a call and can be sent by either the caller or the callee. 
CANCEL—Cancels any pending searches but does not terminate a call that has 
already been accepted. 
OPTIONS—Queries the capabilities of servers. 
REGISTER—Registers the address listed in the To header field with a SIP server. 
The following types of responses are used by SIP and generated by the IP phone or the 
SIP server: 
SIP 1xx—Informational Responses 
SIP 2xx—Successful Responses 
SIP 3xx—Redirection Responses 
SIP 4xx—Client Failure Responses 
SIP 5xx—Server Failure Responses 
SIP 6xx—Global Failure Responses 
The following figure illustrates the scenario of a successful call. In this scenario, the two 
end  users  are  User  A  and  User  B.  User  A  and  User  B  are  located  at  Yealink  SIP  IP 
phones.
