SCCP to SIP endpoint conversion (and backwards)

When you do the CCIE voice lab you need to work with SCCP and SIP  endpoints.
The best and fastest option is to just let all your phones register with  SCCP by default.
For this you need to turn on auto registration, and set the auto  registration protocol to SCCP.
To turn on auto registration you need to go to System –>  Cisco Unified CM Group Configuration
You will see the following section and all you need to do is check  the box.
autoreg
To set the auto registration protocol you need to go to System  –> Enterprise Parameters
Here you need to set the auto registration protocol on SCCP.
autoreg2
Don’t forget to have the TFTP service running on the CUCM you are  using for registration!
When a Cisco phone is registered as SCCP endpoint you will see it in  the device list (Device –>Phone)
Now we will have 1 of 2 phones that we will migrate to SIP.
The steps to do the migration are:
1) Create a new phone (SIP) template
2) Use the Bulk Administration Tool to migrate the phone(s) to an SIP  image
Create a new phone (SIP) template:
- Go to Bulk Administration –> Phones –> Phone Template- Click on “Add New
- Select the phone type you want to create the template for and click on  next
- Select the SIP protocol and click on next
- You will see a bunch of options and change the options that are  mandatory.
- When done click on “Save
Use the Bulk Administration Tool to migrate the phone(s) to an SIP  image:
- Go to Bulk Administration –> Phones –> Migrate Phones  –> SCCP to SIP
- Select the phone(s) you want to migrate from SCCP to SIP
- Select the option “Run Immediately
- And click in “Submit
When this is all done you should see your phone resetting itself and  it will upgrade to the SIP image.
Make sure you put the auto registration protocol to SIP on the System –> Enterprise Parameterspage so your newly migrated  phone(s) can register automatically with the SIP protocol.
When everything is done as described above you will have your  phone(s) successfully registered with the SIP image.
When you want to go back to SCCP the procedure will be a bit  different.
1) Delete the phone(s) on the “Device –> Phone”  page
2) Set the auto registration protocol to SCCP on the System –>  Enterprise Parameters3) Restart your phone by unplugging the power cable of your  phone(s)
4) Wait 10 seconds and put the power cable back in and wait
Your phone(s) should now boot and upgrade (or migrate) itself to the  SCCP image.
When it does not work the first time just try it the second time …
