It is important to check what "hardware version" the phone is.  This will determine the minimum firmware version loaded on the phone.  Once you know what is the hardware version, go HERE to determine what SIP version you need to download.  If your phone is an older version and can support 8.X then I'd recommend you use 8.5(4). 

To convert the phone to SIP, you'll need to do several things: 

1.  You'll need a TFTP server and a DHCP server.  With the DHCP server, you'll need to configure DHCP Option 150.  

2.  You'll need to configure the SEPmacaddress.cnf.xml.   Go HERE for a sample.

If you can use 8.5(4), then you'll need to create a few files: 

1.  XMLDefaults.cnf.xml - File will contain the following: 

<Default>
  <callManagerGroup>
  <members>
    <member priority="0">
      <callManager>
        <ports>
          <analogAccessPort>2002</analogAccessPort> 
          <digitalAccessPort>2001</digitalAccessPort> 
          <ethernetPhonePort>2000</ethernetPhonePort> 
          <mgcpPorts>
            <listen>2427</listen> 
            <keepAlive>2428</keepAlive> 
          </mgcpPorts>
        </ports>
        <processNodeName></processNodeName> 
      </callManager>
    </member>
  </members>
</callManagerGroup>
<loadInformation65 model="Cisco 7965">SIP45.8-5-4S</loadInformation65> 
</Default>

NOTE:  If the phone runs on 9.X, then you don't need the file XMLDefaults.cnf.xml.

2.  If you want to stick the phone in a 3rd party call server then you'll need a dialplan.xml and contains the following:  

<DIALTEMPLATE>
  <TEMPLATE MATCH="*#" TIMEOUT="0" REWRITE="%1"/>
  <TEMPLATE MATCH="*" Timeout="5"/>
</DIALTEMPLATE>

The files XMLDefaults.cnf.xml, dialplan.xml, SEPmacaddress.cnf.xml and phone firmware must be in your TFTP server.  DHCP Option 150 must have the IP address of your TFTP to work.
