The Cisco IP Phone supports the following SIP request methods:
• INVITE—Indicates a user or service is being invited to participate in a call
session.
• ACK—Confirms that the client has received a final response to an INVITE
request.
• BYE—Terminates a call and can be sent by either the caller or the callee.
• CANCEL—Cancels any pending searches but does not terminate a call that
has already been accepted.
• REGISTER—Registers the address listed in the To header field with a SIP
proxy.
• NOTIFY—Notifies the user of the status of a transfer using REFER. Also
used for remote reset and for message waiting.
• OPTIONS—Provides requestors with SIP methods and codecs supported by
the phone.
