9600 Series SIP IP Telephone Installation

Software

The 9600 Series IP Telephones ship from the factory set to the H.323 protocol. To run the
telephones in a SIP environment, you must convert the telephone(s) to SIP settings. Further, a
factory-shipped 9600 Series IP Telephone will not contain the most up-to-date software for
registration and SIP operation. When the telephone is first plugged in, a software download
from an HTTP server might be initiated. The software download gives the telephone upgraded
H.323 functionality, however, you must still download the latest SIP software bundle for
telephones to be converted to SIP, then convert applicable telephones to run SIP software, as
described in Converting Software on 9600 Series IP Telephones
For subsequent downloads of software upgrades, SIP Enablement Services (SES) provides the
capability for a remote reboot of the IP telephone. As a consequence of restarting, the
telephone automatically downloads new software if it is available.
