• Task 3: Creating a SIP Profile
• Task 4: Adding a Device Entry
Before performing these tasks, review the Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Considerations.
Task 1: Creating a Security Profile
You need to create a Phone Security Profile for your Polycom systems to use. If you want to
create a secure profile, you can choose to enable digest authentication to secure the Polycom
endpoint system’s connection to CUCM.
Note: Recommendation for Digest Authentication
Polycom recommends using digest authentication for Polycom endpoint registration.
You need to create a security profile to use with your Polycom HDX, Group Series, or ITP
system. Each endpoint uses the same security profile; therefore you only need to create one
security profile.
To configure security settings:
1 Log into the CUCM console.
2 Select System > Security Profile > Phone Security Profile.
3 Select Add New.
4 Select a Phone Security Profile Type. Select Third-party SIP Device (Advanced) and
click Next.
