Chapter 9: Install the SIP software
This chapter provides information on installing SIP software on a new 1200 Series IP Deskphone (1220
IP Deskphone and 1230 IP Deskphone). If the IP Deskphone already has SIP software installed, see
Upgrade the SIP Software on the IP Deskphone
on page 105. If the IP Deskphone has UNIStim software
installed, see
Convert UNIStim software to SIP software on the IP Deskphone on page 111
.
The 1200 Series IP Deskphones are shipped from the factory with only boot loader software.
The boot loader software is designed to work with DHCP and Option 66 to automatically obtain its IP
information and the provisioning server IP address, and to read the 12xxBoot.cfg file from the provisioning
server. Based on the information in the 12xxBoot.cfg file, the IP Deskphone downloads and installs a
specific SIP software load.
The IP Deskphone reads and acts on the instructions in the 12xxBoot.cfg file.
You must create the 12xxBoot.cfg file as a standard text file, using the format described in
Boot loader
file format on page 99, and place the file on the root directory of your provisioning server.
