Cisco Unified Communications Manager

14.0 SIP Configuration Guide

Valcom Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) VIP devices are compatible with Cisco Unified
Communications Manager (formerly Cisco Unified CallManager) (SIP enabled versions). The Valcom
device is added to the Communications Manager as a Third-party SIP Device (Basic or Advanced).
Third-party SIP Device (Basic) supports one line, Third-party SIP Device (Advanced) supports up to
eight lines.

Default, non-secure Phone Security Profiles do not require authentication for a phone to register. To
enable digest authentication, a new Phone Security Profile must be configured. If an appropriate
profile has already been defined, it may be used for the Valcom device. Skip to Step 5 if an existing
profile will be used, or if authentication is not required and a built-in (non-secure) profile will be used.

Navigate your web browser to the IP address of your Cisco Unified Communications Manager server
and login.

1. Go to the “System” menu, and then click “Security Profile”, then click “Phone Security Profile”.

2. Click on “Add New”

3. On the Phone Security Profile Configuration screen, select the appropriate Profile Type from
the dropdown list. For Valcom devices, the type will be either Third-party SIP Device
(Advanced) or Third-party SIP Device (Basic). The profile being created will only be available
for the phone type that is selected. Use Basic for devices that only have a single SIP identity
(such as a SIP speaker). Select Advanced for devices that have multiple SIP identities (such
as the VIP-201 Paging Server). Click “Next” after selecting the Type.

in the Valcom device.

9. Open the VIP-102B tool interface for the Valcom SIP enabled VIP device.

Note: The information contained in this guide is limited to configuration of the “SIP” tab in the VIP-102B IP
Solutions Setup Tool for the Valcom VIP device that is to be registered to the SIP server. More information on
Valcom VIP device configuration, such as IP address assignment, relay activation, etc, may be found in the VIP-
102B Reference Manual. This document may be downloaded from our website at http://www.valcom.com

In order to Register:
Required Fields: Phone Number, Authentication Name, Secret, SIP Server (primary), Register, SIP Server Port,
SIP Port, RTP Port
Optional Fields: Description, Realm, SIP Server Backup 1, 2, and 3, DNS SRV, CID Name, CID Number.

In our example, the SIP Server IP address is the same as our Cisco Call Manager, “192.168.98.70”. If using a host
name here you must specify at least one DNS server on the Network tab to resolve the name.
Phone Number is the same as our Directory Number in the Cisco Call Manager configuration, “5000”.
Secret is the same as our Digest Credentials in the Cisco Call Manager configuration, “1234”.
SIP Server Port is the port number, on which the Cisco Call Manager SIP server is listening for SIP data.
SIP Port is the port number, on which the Valcom VIP device is listening for SIP data. By default this is set for
“5060”. RTP Port is the port number, on which the Valcom VIP device is set to send/receive audio packets, via SIP.
By default this is set for “20000”. All other optional fields may be used based on your server/site requirements.

For this particular device, the SIP paging server, other fields on the SIP tab relate to functionality of the device.
Definition of these fields may be found in the VIP-102B Reference Manual under the SIP Tab (VIP-201, VIP-204).
This document may be downloaded from our website at http://www.valcom.com

When the Valcom VIP device configuration is complete, select the “Update Changed Devices” button, at the
upper left. When update is complete, click reset, to reboot the device.
