Modifying Phone Button Templates
Although the Cisco Unified IP Phones 7960G and 7940G support similar features, each phone model can
implement these features differently. Modify phone button templates to assign features to phone buttons
and to customize features for a phone model.
Ideally, you modify templates before registering phones on the network. In this way, you can access
customized phone button template options from Cisco Unified
Communications Manager
Administration during registration.
To modify a phone button template, choose Device > Device Settings> Phone Button Template from
Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Administration. To assign a phone button template to a phone,
use the Phone Button template field in the Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Administration
Phone Configuration page. Refer to Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Administration Guide and
Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide for more information.
The number of buttons and features that you can customize varies based upon Cisco Unified IP Phone
model. Familiarize yourself with the configuration options described in
Table 5-2.
Setting Up Services
The Services button on the Cisco Unified IP Phones 7960G and 7940G gives users access to Cisco
Unified
IP Phone Services. These services comprise XML applications that enable the display of
interactive content with text and graphics on the phone. Examples of services include stock quotes and
weather reports. You can create customized applications for your site.
Before a user can access any service,
• You as the system administrator must use Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration
to configure available services.
• The user must subscribe most to services using the Cisco Unified Communications Manager User
Options application. 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. Refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Administration Guide and Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide for more information.
