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 One Protocol to the Other, page 2-12 • 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 Step 2 Step 3 Take one of these actions: • To auto-register the phone, set the Auto Registration Phone Protocol enterprise parameter in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration to SIP. • To provision the phone by using the Bulk Administration Tool (BAT), choose the appropriate phone model and choose SIP from BAT. • To provision the phone manually, make the appropriate changes for SIP on the Phone Configuration window 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 BAT. If you are not using DHCP in your network, configure the network parameters for the phone. See Configuring Startup Network Settings, page 3-14. Save the configuration updates, click Apply Config, click OK in the Apply Configuration Information window, and have the user power cycle the phone.
