Chapter 2 Preparing to Install the Cisco Unified IP Phone on Your Network
Determining the MAC Address of a Cisco Unified IP Phone
Tip Before deleting a SIP phone (that you want to convert to a SCCP phone) from the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager database, copy all of the phone configuration information, so when you add
the phone back to the database, you will have the configuration information readily available.
Deploying a Phone in an SCCP and SIP Environment
To deploy Cisco Unified IP Phones in an environment that includes SCCP and SIP and in which the
Cisco
Unified Communications Manager Auto-Registration parameter is SCCP, perform these general
steps:
1. Set the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Auto Registration Protocol enterprise parameter to
SCCP.
From Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, choose System > Enterprise
Parameters.
2. Install the phones.
3. Change the Auto Registration Protocol enterprise parameter to SIP.
4. Auto-register the SIP phones.
Determining the MAC Address of a Cisco Unified IP Phone
Several of the procedures that are described in this manual require you to determine the MAC address
of a Cisco Unified IP Phone. You can determine the MAC address for a phone in any of these ways:
• From the phone, choose Settings > Network Configuration and look at the MAC Address field.
• Look at the MAC label on the back of the phone.
• Display the web page for the phone and click the Device Information hyperlink.
