Chapter 2: Administering 4602 SIP Telephones

This chapter covers setting up your 4602 SIP Telephones. Conversion procedures from the

factory-set protocol to SIP and back are provided. This chapter also lists the minimal set of

parameters that must be defined prior to operating phones in a SIP environment.

All 4602 telephones shipped from the factory are pre-loaded with code to use the H.323

protocol. This section provides a step-by-step procedure for loading a factory-fresh or

previously used H.323 set with SIP software. The procedure for returning a set that has been

loaded with SIP software back to the H.323 protocol appears later in this chapter.

The factory H.323 software and the SIP software each require a different provisioning

environment. Some of the differences are:

H.323 uses TFTP for file downloads and SIP uses HTTP downloads.

H.323 uses script files for setting options and SIP uses configuration files.

The binary file format for H.323 and SIP application and boot files differ. This difference

requires using special H.323 binaries versions when converting from SIP, and special SIP

binaries versions when converting from H.323. The term "different" means different from

the version you would use during an upgrade not involving a protocol change.

To convert in either direction, both of the H.323 and SIP provisioning environments must be set

up in advance.
