Setting Up Services
The Services menu on the Cisco Unified IP Phone gives users access to Cisco Unified 
IP Phone Services.
If the phone is registered with Cisco Unified Communications Manager, access this menu by pressing 
the Application Menu button, then choosing Services from the list of applications. By default, the 
Application Menu button is line button 24 (the top left line button).
You can also assign services to the programmable buttons on the phone. (For more information, see the 
Cisco Unified IP Phone 7931G Phone Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 8.0 
(SCCP and SIP). 
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 using the Cisco Unified CM. 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 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. For more information, see the Cisco 
Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide and Cisco Unified Communications Manager 
System Guide.
After you configure these services, verify that your users have access to the 
Cisco Unified Communications Manager IP Phone Options web-based application, from which they can 
select and subscribe to configured services. For a summary of the information that you must provide to 
end users, see the How Users Subscribe to Services and Configure Phone Features, page C-3.
Cisco Unified IP phones can support up to four HTTP/HTTPS active client connections and up to 
four HTTP/HTTPS active server connections at one time. These are a few examples of 
HTTP/HTTPS services:
 • Cisco Extension Mobility
 • Directories
 • Messages
