Setting Up Services
The
Services
button on the Cisco Unified IP Phone gives users access to Cisco Unified IP Phone
Services. You can also assign services to the programmable buttons on the phone (refer to the Cisco
Unified IP Phone user guide for more information). These services comprise XML applications that
enable the display of interactive content with text and graphics on the phone. Examples of services
include local movie times, stock quotes, and weather reports.
Before a user can access any service:
•
You must use Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration to configure available
services.
•
The user must subscribe to services by using the Cisco Unified IP Phone User Options web pages.
This web-based application provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for limited, end-user
configuration of IP Phone applications.
Before you set up services, gather the URLs for the sites that you want to set up and verify that users can
access those sites from your corporate IP telephony network.
To set up these services, choose
Device > Device Settings > Phone Services
from
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. Refer to
Cisco Unified Communications
Manager Administration Guide
and to
Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide
for more
information.
After you configure these services, verify that your users have access to the Cisco Unified CM User
Options web pages, from which they can select and subscribe to configured services. See
How Users
Subscribe to Services and Configure Phone Features, page A-3
for a summary of the information that
you must provide to end users.

HTTP/HTTPS active server connections at one time. A few examples of HTTP/HTTPS services include:
•
