[TCC_2]

Resolution

To convert an IP phone from Skinny (SCCP) protocol to Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) with Cisco CallManager running 5.0.x, perform this procedure:

1. On the Cisco CallManager Admin page, go to Bulk Administration > Phones > Migrate Phones > SCCP to SIP.
   
   
2. On this screen, enter a query in order to select the device(s) to upgrade.
   
   
3. On the next screen, select a Phone Profile. Add one if one is not already present.
   
   To add a Phone Profile, perform these steps:

1. Go to Bulk Administration > Phones > Phone Templates.
   
   
2. When the migrate job is submitted, go to Bulk Administration > Job Scheduler.
   
   Note: Sometimes, the job must be activated. If the job remains in Pending state, activate the Bulk Provisioning Service under Serviceability > Service Activation.
   
   
3. Go to System > Enterprise Parameters and change the Auto Registration Phone Protocol option to SIP.
   
   
4. Restart the Cisco CallManager service.

The Cisco 7960 IP phone registers and upgrades to the SIP load at the conclusion of this procedure.
