Setting Up Services
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 Cisco Unified 
IP Phone 7975G 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 using the Cisco Unified IP Phone 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 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 Communications Manager IP Phone Options web-based application, from which they can 
select and subscribe to configured services. See the 
“How Users Subscribe to Services and Configure 
Phone Features” section on page A-3 for a summary of the information that you must provide to end 
users.
Adding Users to Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Adding users to Cisco Unified Communications Manager allows you to display and maintain 
information about users and allows each user to perform these tasks:
  • Access the corporate directory and other customized directories from a Cisco Unified IP Phone
  • Create a personal directory
  • Set up speed dial and call forwarding numbers 
  • Subscribe to services that are accessible from a Cisco Unified IP Phone
You can add users to Cisco Unified Communications Manager using either of these methods:
  • To add users individually, choose User Management > End User from 
Cisco
 Unified Communications Manager Administration.
Refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide for more information about 
adding users. Refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager System Guide for details about user 
information.
  • To add users in batches, use the Bulk Administration Tool. This method also enables you to set an 
identical default password for all users.
Refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Bulk Administration Guide for details.
