Convert CIPC to SIP with auto register?

voip7372 · ‎08-19-2015

I've looked at this information and it seems very simple. Let an IP Communicator device register with auto-registration and it'll automatically be converted to SIP. I tried this, but the CIPC device remains as SCCP. It won't automatically be converted to SIP. Has anyone else done this yet and have some tips on how to make it work? Just so you know, I'm trying this with CIPC on a computer that already had CIPC installed and working as SCCP, not SIP. I go into CUCM and delete the device so it'll have to auto register again, but it's not converting to SIP. What else do I need to do? The CUCM servers were rebooted after changing the Enterprise Parameters for the auto register protocol to SIP. Also, I uninstalled the CIPC software from the PC I was using and then I rebooted the computer and reinstalled CIPC. When it auto registered, it did not get converted to SIP.

Convert new IP Communicator from SCCP to SIP

When you install Cisco IP Communicator for the first time, it is set for SCCP by default, but you can convert it to SIP.

Procedure

Step 1

Perform one of these actions:

To auto-register Cisco IP Communicator, set the Auto Registration Phone Protocol parameter (System > Enterprise Parameters) to SIP.
To provision Cisco IP Communicator by using the Bulk Administration Tool (BAT), choose the Cisco IP Communicator and then choose SIP from the BAT.
To manually provision Cisco IP Communicator, select SIP as the protocol (Device > Phone), click Next, and then make the appropriate changes for SIP on the Phone Configuration window.

For details, see the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide for your release and the Bulk Administration Tool User Guide for your release at these URLs:

Step 2

Ensure that the SIP flag is turned on for the client.

Step 3

If you are not using DHCP in your network, configure the network parameters appropriately.

If you do not use DHCP in your network to identify TFTP servers, or if you want the device to use an alternate TFTP server, you must configure your TFTP server with command-line options when you deploy Cisco IP Communicator.

Optionally, you can instruct users to manually configure the TFTP servers.

I'm not able to view that bug.

So, I assume there's a known bug for this and it really should be as easy as the docs suggest it is to convert CIPC from SCCP to SIP when it auto-registers? I'm on CUCM 10.5(2)SU2a by the way.
