Phone Migrations

Using Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration (BAT), you can migrate a group of phones from Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP) to Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).

Migrate Phone From SCCP to SIP

You can migrate phones from SCCP to SIP. During the SCCP to SIP migration, only SIP specific default values in the phone report get migrated. Other values in the template are not migrated.


Note

Migrating a phone that is running SCCP to SIP does not require a manual reset because the migration itself handles the reset of phones.
